On-site Cleaning
The Theraflow alternating mattress replacement system features fully
welded outer surfaces. When necessary the top cover and base can be
cleaned and disinfected on site once the patient has been removed from the
mattress.
The following on-site cleaning procedure is recommended for top cover and
control unit. Note that a summary of the below is printed at the foot end
flap of the top cover. Do not immerse the control unit in water!
1. Ensure gloves are worn and all disinfection and occupational health and
safety protocols of the facility are adhered to.
2. Wipe down with a clean cloth using a disinfectant solution comprising of
hand hot water and a neutral detergent or with a sodium hypochlorite
solution (0.1% or 1000 parts per million available chlorine.
Proprietary disinfectants may be used provided manufacturer’s
instructions are followed.
3. All cleaning agents and disinfectants must be thoroughly rinsed off and
the surface dried before storage or re-use.
Failure to do this may result in the accumulation of reagent that could
damage the polyurethane coating, react with the bed frame or negate
the bio-compatibility results of the fabric.
Machine Washing
The system is designed as a “mattress within a mattress” so that the base
and top cover can be easily separated from the cell section which is fitted
within its own inner base.
Machine wash the outer mattress top cover as follows;
Wash at a temperature up to 71°
(160°F), using normal detergents
In washing machines, it may be difficult to wet out full covers.
Correspondingly, spinning and tumbling may not remove water trapped
between layers. It may be helpful to interrupt the washing or drying cycles
to alleviate this.
Machine Drying:
Drying may be achieved by hanging out, spinning or tumbling at
temperatures up to 130°C
(266°F) - Do not mangle.
