1.6 Care and Maintenance
Mattress - Exterior Components
• Always keep the cover as clean as is practicable. The material is waterproof and vapour permeable.
• Inspect top cover for signs of damage or wear which could result in the contamination of the interior, e.g. tears, holes,
damage to seams or zips, underside staining, etc. The frequency of these checks should be at each decontamination
process, i.e. between patients or patient occupancy (or weekly for longer term patients).
• Care should be taken to avoid puncturing cover with objects such as needles, scalpels, pat slides, acrylic nails, etc.
• The cover may be removed and cleaned in accordance with The Revised Healthcare Cleaning Manual June 2009
subject to the following action: Following the use of a detergent and or disinfectant solution the cover should be rinsed
with clean water using a clean cloth and allowed to dry.
• Frequent or prolonged exposure to high concentrations of aggressive disinfectant solutions will reduce the useful life
of the cover.
• Where high concentration disinfectants e.g. > 10,000ppm chlorine releasing agent (e.g. Haztab or bleach) or combined
cleaning/chlorine releasing agent (e.g. Chlorclean, Actichlor) and detergent solutions are used to remove blood or other
body fluids, covers should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any residues. This will help prevent any
possible long term compatibility issues associated with disinfectant residues *.
• Alternatively disinfection may be achieved by laundering cover at temperatures not exceeding 65
0
C for 10 minutes or
73
0
C for 3 minutes which may include a chlorine rinse.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, phenol disinfectants, solvents or alcohol-based cleansers, e.g. Dettol, Phenicol, Hibiscrub,
Clearsol, Stericol, Hycoline, as these may destroy the cover materials *.
• Do not iron.
• Ensure that the cover is thoroughly dried before remaking the bed or placing in storage.
Mattress - Interior Components
• Check air cells and mattress/cushion interior for signs of damage or contamination, e.g. staining or evidence of
fluid ingress. The frequency of these checks should be at each decontamination process, i.e. between patients or
patient occupancy (or weekly for longer term patients).
• Care should be taken to avoid puncturing air cells with objects such as needles, scalpels, pat slides, acrylic nails, etc.
• The individual cells can also be wiped clean with a mild disinfectant solution *.
• All cells are replaceable and can be obtained easily from Direct Healthcare Group.
• The QUATTRO range of mattresses are fully launderable, but ensure the CPR device is fully closed (i.e. the dial of
the CPR device is rotated clockwise until it ‘clicks’ into the closed position ), prior to laundering to prevent water
entering the air cells / tubing.
Cushion - Interior Components
• Carefully remove cover and foam (where applicable), wipe clean using TECcare CONTROL antimicrobial wipes and
fluid. Dry thoroughly before reassembly.
Power Unit
Always disconnect the power unit from the electricity supply before carrying out maintenance, repairs, servicing or
cleaning. To disconnect the power unit from the mains supply and thereby safely terminate operation of the device,
remove the mains power cord from the mains outlet wall socket. Check all electrical connections and power cord for
signs of excessive wear. The power unit can be wiped down with detergent or disinfectant solution or wipe*. Do not
use solvents. Unsuitable for sterilisation. Disposal of the power unit / mattress / cushion in accordance with the local
regulations including WEEE requirements.
* In line with the MHRA Medical Device Alert (MDA/2013/019), Direct Healthcare Group advises customers to use pH
neutral, high level disinfectant cleaning products to sanitise reusable medical devices to prevent damage to materials and
the degradation of plastic surfaces after prolonged use. The use of inappropriate cleaning and detergent materials on
medical equipment could damage surfaces and may compromise the ability to decontaminate medical devices adequately
or may interfere with device function. Direct Healthcare Group recommends the use of TECcare
