For Matrx E2 backs fitted with our optional infection control
Protect Slipcover,
the
coated side of the cover can be cleaned and disinfected with ready-to-use disinfecting
wipes 3M, Virox Accel TB, Accel Prevention, PREempt, OPTIM 33 TB, or other wipes
with similar formulations. Note that the surface should be cleaned first, with all gross
contamination (i.e. urine, feces, blood) first removed with absorbent material (cloth or
paper towel). Ensure the coated surface of the cover is clean by wiping with one of 2-in-1
cleaning and disinfecting wipes mentioned above.
To disinfect, liberally wipe the surface with the ready-to-use disinfecting wipe again. Avoid
pooling of the disinfectant and ensure the disinfectant is distributed equally over the cover
surface. Wipe dry after recommended dwell time (refer to each disinfecting products
manufacturing instructions). It is best practice to wipe the surface with a damp cloth, mild
soap, and finally a damp cloth no matter what disinfectant is used.
Drying:
• DO NOT WRING OUT fabric. Hang to dry on a towel-covered wood hanger
and drip dry to minimize wrinkling.
• Alternatively, covers may be tumble-dried on a low/cool setting. Cushion covers
should not be ironed or pressed.
