10. Cleaning Instruction
The air mattress and power unit must be cleaned thoroughly between patients
to avoid cross contamination. The following is a suggested guideline. Be sure to
follow local infection control policies.
Regular cleaning can be performed at bedside with a disinfectant followed by
drying with a clean dry cloth. Use only mild detergents to clean the coverlet and
the mattress. Any appropriate non-phenolic cleaning agent may be used for
heavy soiling from urine, blood or other bodily fluids. Please ensure that the air
mattress and coverlet are completely dry before letting the patient lie on the
surface again.
Machine wash warm water at maximum 71 °C.
Do not use electric or tumble dryers. Do not iron.
Always unplug the power unit before cleaning. Routine cleaning of power
unit can be done by wiping down with damp cloth using disinfectant or
mild detergent. Never spray liquids directly on the unit itself.
11. Routine Maintenance and Storage
Remove air filter from the rear panel of the power unit by opening up the filter
cap. Inspect the filter for dirt or dust, and clean it with mild soap and water.
Reinsert the dried air filter after cleaning and ensure that the cap is secure. If a
replacement is needed, contact Opera on 0333 222 8584.
Only disinfect and dry systems should be stored. Disconnect the air hoses from
the power unit. Roll up the mattress starting from the head end and working
down toward the foot end. Use the straps to secure it and store in clean plastic or
other storage bag. Store in a cool, dark place.
In the case of emergency, pull on the air hose couplers from the control
unit and turn off the power unit by pressing the power/mute button on
the control panel at the same time for emergency deflation. The air will
discharge from the mattress with the patient’s own weight. To resume
normal operation, simply re-insert the air hose couplers, press the power/
mute button again and reset the patient weight. See instructions in
Section 6.1.
