• Do not wash the internal components of this support surface. Discard the support surface if a contamination is found
inside.
• Do not immerse the support surface.
• Do not allow liquid to pool on the support surface.
• Always inspect support surface covers (top and bottom) for tears, punctures, excessive wear, and misaligned zippers
before each use. If compromised immediately remove the support surface from service.
• Always make sure that you wipe each product with clean water and thoroughly dry each product after any application of
chemical solutions. Some chemical solutions are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if you use
them improperly. If you do not properly rinse and dry the product, a corrosive residue may be left on the surface of the
product that may cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to follow these instructions may void your
warranty.

• Do not allow liquid to seep into the zipper area or watershed cover barrier when washing the underside of the support
surface. Fluids allowed to come in contact with the zipper may leak into the support surface.
• Do not iron, dry-clean, or tumble dry the support surface covers.
• Do not power wash the support surface as this may damage the product.
• Always completely dry the support surface covers before storing, adding linens, or placing a patient on the surface.
Drying the product helps to prevent the performance of the product from being impaired.
• Do not over expose the covers to higher concentration chemical solutions as these may degrade the covers.
• Do not use accelerated hydrogen peroxides or quaternaries that contain glycol ethers as they may damage the cover
and reduce the legibility of the graphics.
• Failure to follow manufacturing instructions may also affect useful life of the support surface cover.
The support surface cover is resistant to the following chemical solutions:
• Quaternaries (active ingredient - ammonium chloride) that contain less than 3% glycol ether
• Phenols (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)
• Chlorinated bleach solution (use 1 part bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to 10 parts of water which equals 4773 ppm
of available chlorine (400 mL of a 5.25% bleach solution per 4000 mL water))
• 70% isopropyl alcohol
Follow hospital protocol for support surface care in between patients to avoid the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
