Cleaning
4.1
Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Ap-
propriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or
quaternary type disinfectants can be used with Staph–Chek fabrics. Iodophor type disinfectants are not rec-
ommended for use on Staph–Chek fabrics because staining may result. The following products have been
tested by the Herculite Laboratory and have been found not to have a harmful effect on Staph–Chek fabrics

Quaternary Germicidal Disinfectants, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products, typically 5.25% So-
dium Hypochlorite in dilutions ranging between 1 part bleach to 100 parts water, and 2 parts bleach to 100
parts water are not considered mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and may cause dam-
age to your stretcher if used improperly. If these types of products are used to clean Stryker patient handling
equipment, measures must be taken to insure the stretchers are rinsed with clean water and thoroughly dried
following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the stretchers will leave a corrosive residue on the surface
of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components. Failure to follow the above
directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS
This solution may be used to remove iodine stains from mattress covers and foam.
1. Use a solution of 1–2 tablespoons Sodium Thiosulfate in a pint of warm water to clean the stained area.
Clean as soon as possible after staining occurs. If stains are not immediately removed, allow solution to
soak or stand on the surface.
2. Rinse surfaces exposed to the solution in clear water before returning the stretcher to service.
