ProCair Trio User Guide
Cleaning and Infection Control
It is recommended that the ProCair Trio
system is cleaned every two weeks if in
constant use.
Top Cover Cleaning
Unzip and remove the top cover from the base
before washing (refer page 18 for instructions).
For basic care and cleaning, wipe down with warm
water containing PH neutral detergent. The top
cover can also be machine washed at a maximum
of 95° C (203° F) using neutral detergents.
Refer to the top cover wash tag for detailed
cleaning instructions.
Do not use system without top cover.
Base and Cells Cleaning
Swab the mattress base and cells with a solution
of sodium hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000
ppm available chlorine). Dry thoroughly before
reassembly.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry the air cells or
mattress base.
If cleaning or disinfection is required, do not
allow
fl
uid to enter air cells and air hoses.
Control Unit Cleaning
Disconnect control unit from mains power before
cleaning. Gently wipe down the external case with
a soft cloth.
Soak the cloth in warm water containing mild pH
neutral detergent, and wring any excess water
before gently wiping all external controls. Repeat
the process with a dry cloth to remove excess
moisture. A soft bristled nylon brush can be used to
gently clean crevices.
Ensure the control unit is disconnected from
mains power before cleaning.
Do not spray disinfectant directly on to the
control unit, or immerse the unit in water or
other
fl
uid.
Disinfection
The mattress, top cover and control unit may
be decontaminated by a solution of sodium
hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000 ppm available
chlorine). Dry thoroughly before use.
For infection control, swab with a solution of
sodium hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000
ppm available chlorine). Dry thoroughly before
reattaching and use.
Care and Cleaning
To prevent cross contamination, the mattress should be examined and disinfected between patient use.
Clean the mattress in accordance with local infection control policy and government regulations. Failure
to do so could cause patient or personal injury.
The mattress is not protected against excessive amounts of
fl
uid. Do not immerse the control unit in
fl
uid.
Switch off and disconnect the control unit from mains power supply before cleaning. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or electric shock.
Do not use high temperature autoclave steam cleaning devices or phenolic based products for cleaning.
This could result in damage to the equipment and may result in damage to the polyurethane coating, or
negate the biocompatibility properties of the fabric.
