2. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
2.1 BED CLEANING AND MATTRESS CARE
Always unplug the bed power cord from the wall outlet when cleaning or servicing the bed.
Do not use harsh cleaners, solvents or detergents. Do not steam clean, hose off or
ultrasonically clean the bed. Do not immerse any part of the bed. The bed electrical parts may
be damaged by exposure to water.
Germicidal disinfectant, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products are not considered
mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to your bed if
used improperly. If these types of products are used, ensure the beds are wiped with clean
water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the beds will
leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the bed, possibly causing premature corrosion of
critical components. Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners
may void this product warranty.
CLEANING BEDS
Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with a soft cloth moistened with a solution of lukewarm water
and a mild detergent.
Wipe the bed clean and dry thoroughly to avoid build up of cleaning solution.
MATTRESS CARE
Inspect the mattress after each use. Discontinue use if any cracks or rips, which may allow fluid
to enter the mattress, are found in the mattress cover. Failure to properly clean the mattress, or
dispose of it if defective, may increase the risk of exposure to pathogenic substances and
may
bring about diseases to the
patient and user.
•
Inspection
Implement local policies to address regular care, maintenance, and cleaning of mattresses and
covers. The cover cleaning procedure can be found below and on the mattress label.
Inspect mattress cover surface (also zip fasteners and cover inner surface if mattresses have
zip fasteners) regularly for signs of damage. If the mattress cover is heavily stained or soiled, or
is torn, remove the mattress from service.
•
Cleaning
Stains: Wash with lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Rinse with water and let dry. For
tough stains use bleach diluted with ten parts of water.
