Cleaning Sleep Surfaces
To clean the sleep surfaces, use the following guidelines:
•
Activate the Auto Firm function.
•
Unplug the bed from its power source.
•
To clean directly beneath the sleeping surface at the head end, lift the head end of the mattress.
•
To clean directly beneath the sleeping surface at the foot end, remove the sleep surface mattress.
NOTE:
Never remove the air mattresses (ZoneAire® Sleep Surface) without disconnecting the hoses from the manifold
assembly.
To remove the sleep surface mattress:
•
Disconnect the quick-connect air hoses.
•
Lift up on the foot and head ends of the sleep surface until the magnets inside the ticking are released from the
frame. Slide the sleep surface off the articulating deck.
To replace the sleep surface mattress:
•
Position the sleep surface on the bed frame. Be sure to orient the mattress properly.
•
Connect the applicable quick-connect air hose connectors to the manifold assembly.
Cleaning Medical Fluid Spills
CAUTION:
Unplug the bed from its power source before cleaning or service. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
Fluid spills should be wiped up as soon as possible. Unplug the Advanta™ Bed from its power source before cleaning
up major fluid spills.
Temporary stains can be removed by wiping vigorously with a lightly-dampened sponge or rag, and an EPA registered
cleaner/disinfectant solution.
Cleaning Blood and Excreta
If possible, wipe up blood and excreta when wet. Cleaning is more difficult after these substances dry on the surface.
Damage to the Sleep Surface Ticking
Tears, holes, and cracks in the sleep surface ticking compromise the sleep surface impermeability and infection
resistance. Repairs to the ticking are not recommended.
CAUTION:
Periodically check the sleep surface to ensure that the ticking impermeability is not compromised.
