Cleaning
WARNING
•
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 in cleaning or disinfectant solutions.
•
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 each time the covers are cleaned. If compromised immediately remove the support surface from service
and replace the covers to prevent cross-contamination.
•
Always perform preventative maintenance more frequently based on the usage level of the product. An increase in
usage which may include more frequent cleaning and disinfection, may adversely affect the life of the support
surface.
•
Always make sure that you wipe each product with clean water and thoroughly dry each product after cleaning.
Some cleaning agents 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
could cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to follow these cleaning instructions may void
your warranty.
CAUTION
•
Do not allow liquid to seep into the zipper area or watershed cover barrier when cleaning 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 cause malfunction and 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.
Always follow hospital protocol for cleaning and disinfecting.
To clean the support surface covers between patient uses, follow these steps in order:
1.
Using a clean, soft, damp cloth, wipe the support surface covers with a mild soap and water solution to remove
foreign material.
2.
Wipe the support surface covers with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess liquid or cleaning agent.
3.
Dry thoroughly.
