Use of other
disinfectants
Arjo recommends sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) as a
disinfectant because it is effective, stable and has a fairly
neutral pH. Many other disinfectants are used in healthcare
facilities, and it is not possible for Arjo to test each one to
determine whether it may affect the appearance or
performance of the bed.
If facility protocols require the use of a disinfectant other than
NaDCC (e.g. diluted bleach or hydrogen peroxide), it should be
used with care and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
