STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
Store the mattresses in a clean, dry place. Once the mattress is removed from the box, store flat on a clean
surface. When removing mattress from storage, always ensure the internal inflation system is aligned correctly
prior to placing a patient on the surface. Avoid temperature extremes (below freezing or above 120
o
F). Allow to
acclimate to room temperature before use. Do no stack more than 10 high. Do not stack other equipment on top
of the mattresses.
Store the controllers in a clean, dry place, protected from accidental damage or falls. Avoid temperature
extremes (below freezing or above 120
o
F). Do not stack other equipment on top of the controller. For
transportation, secure to prevent damage or falls. For shipment, use box and packaging as provided by the
manufacturer.
CLEANING:
Clean and disinfect mattress covers
following contamination with bodily fluids and between
patients. Both the inner cover and the removable coverlet can be cleaned in place by wiping with neutral suds
and lukewarm water. Rinse and allow to air dry for approximately 20-30 minutes before use. For hard to clean
spots, use liquid cleaner with soft sponge in the concentration recommended by the manufacturer. DO NOT USE
HARSH CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS.
If desired, removable coverlet can be machine-laundered using cold or warm water and a cold rinse cycle. Begin
wash cycle, add detergent, allow to agitate for two minutes, then place coverlet in washer. Tumble dry using low
heat or no heat, or allow to air dry.
CAUTION: USE OF HIGH HEAT IN WASHING OR DRYING WILL DESTROY THE COVERLET.
For long-term incontinent applications, clean and disinfect cover daily. A scented cleaner/disinfectant is
recommended. Iodophor type disinfectants (e.g. Betadine) will stain the fabric.
For disinfection, phenolic or quaternary type disinfectants are recommended. Disinfectants should be hospital
grade (tuberculocidal). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for use concentrations, contact times and rinsing.
Contamination with blood on the fabric can be disinfected with a 1:10 dilution of household bleach (5.25%
sodium hypochlorite) as recommended by the CDC. The use of bleach at improper dilutions may result in fabric
discoloration and fluid pass-through.
Where surveillance and epidemiology indicate ongoing transmission of
C. difficile,
an EPA registered
hypochlorite-based disinfectant is recommended. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use concentrations,
contact times and rinsing. Generic sources of hypochlorite (e.g. household chlorine bleach) may also be used.
Prepare the disinfection solution fresh daily at a 1:10 dilution. Improper dilutions may result in ineffectiveness
and higher than recommended concentrations will damage the fabric.
Note:
Alcohol-based disinfectants are not effective against
C. difficile
and should not be used to disinfect
environmental services. For further information relative to this organism and infection control in the healthcare
setting, please refer to
Do not puncture the mattress with needles or sharp instruments. This may result in loss of
integrity of the mattress air system or top surface low air loss bladder, and will void the warranty. Inspect the
covers and zipper area for signs of damage, puncture, or wear that could result in fluid pass-through. If the cover
is stained, soiled, or torn, inspect the internal components for signs of contamination. If contamination is evident,
quarantine the mattress and remove from service following infection control procedures.
