Cleaning
An air cushion system can be a source of infection and
we recommend that you clean it regularly.
1.
Cleaning the pump:
•
Do not immerse or soak the pump unit.
•
Check for external damage before cleaning.
•
Place the pump on a work surface and spray or
wipe the outside of the case with a suitable
cleaning solution.
•
Wipe case with a clean cloth. Make sure all
areas are clean
–
top and bottom, both sides.
•
Spray cloth with cleaning solution and clean
faceplate. Do not allow excess cleaning solution
on faceplate or control panel. Allow surface to
thoroughly dry after cleaning.
•
Do not use a Hypo carbonate or phenol based
cleaning solution as this may cause damage to
the case.
•
Plug pump into the mains and test to check
normal operation.
2.
Cleaning the cushion cells:
•
Brush off or wipe down all surfaces of the cover
with soap and water before wetting with any
liquid disinfectant.
•
Covers are immersed and soaked in disinfectant
for the required incubation time.
•
After pre-soaking, the cover is rinsed through a
regular cycle with no soap, then laundered with
mild detergent. Wash on coldest setting.
•
Covers are aerated until they are fully dry.
•
Repeat the process with the tubing set: spray,
incubate, and then wipe clean.
•
The pump bag should be turned inside out and
completely wiped down using disinfectant
solution.
•
Allow it to thoroughly air dry. Once the inside is
dry, turn it back: wipe down the outside of the
bag with disinfectant.
•
Drying of all the components must be done in a
sunless area.
3.
Disinfection:
•
For extreme soiling control use a 5% Sodium
Hypochlorite (bleach) solution.
