introduced to this equipment. Visual checks should be carried out daily to identify any
significant signs of damage or infection risk.
If any signs of contamination are identified, the bumper system should be withdrawn from use
immediately and cleaned.

cleaned regularly in accordance with your organisation’s disinfection protocol. (See page 12 )
