Maintenance & Cleaning
Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance will help extend the life of the Cushion. The expected lifetime
of the Cushion is 5 years; however the Cushion needs to be checked regularly for performance.
Medifab recommends using AHP (Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide) disinfectant wipes. The disinfection
product must be used as per the manufacturer instructions. Medifab takes no responsibility for the
effectiveness of the disinfecting process.
