SECTION 4—MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
Setting Up the MicroAIR Systems
The MicroAIR 3500S systems are made patient-ready at the dealership before delivery to
the installation site. The mattress is pre-assembled and the power unit has been tested and
serviced.
Ask the caregiver or nursing staff what isolation precautions are required when
performing adjustments with the patient on the bed. Typically, if protective clothing is
required, the institution will provide it to aid healthcare workers.
Recommended Cleaning Materials
CAUTION
DO NOT use chlorine based cleaners; otherwise, product damage may occur.
Disinfectant chemicals should be registered, hospital-grade, and have effectiveness
claims for destroying or inactivating harmful microorganisms. Use only in the
manufacturer's recommended dilution. NEVER mix different chemicals together in the
same container.
Phenolic disinfectants are supplied in highly concentrated form. They are tuberculocidal
when used at the recommended dilution. They provide a high level of disinfection. They
are also effective in decontaminating blood spills.
Quaternary cleaner disinfectants are supplied in highly concentrated form. They are
usually capable of cleaning, deodorizing and disinfecting in a single operation. They are
especially suitable for cleaning equipment at the patient site where low level disinfecting
or odor control is indicated.
Laundry disinfectant presoaks can be either phenol or quaternary chemicals. These
products are suitable for adding to water as a presoak.
For lighter soil, the cover can be cleaned by topical wipe down with a PH balanced soap
and water solution normally used to wash the patient. Rinse with water.
