13. Taking Care of Your Mermaid
Oxford recommends that your Mermaid bath hoist and associated accessories are cleaned
thoroughly and regularly.
When the hoist and/or accessories require cleaning, or if there is a suspicion of contamination,
please follow the cleaning and/or disinfection procedures outlined below.
Any cleaning should be carried out prior to re-using the product. This is especially important
when using the same hoist and/or accessories with more than one patient, as there may be a
risk of cross infection.
When cleaning and disinfecting the Mermaid hoist, it is recommended that you wipe down
all surfaces with a damp cloth using warm water and disinfectant. A GPD (general purpose
detergent or detergent wipe) should be used.
WARNING
Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives as these may damage the surface
finish of the lift. Avoid wetting any of the electrical parts.
Always read the instructions on the disinfectant/cleaner container before use.
Always wear protective gloves, clothing and eye protection when using disinfectant.
Do not over wet areas of the product which could cause problems with internal
corrosion.
Do not use petroleum based solvents or similar, since this may cause damage to the
plastic parts.
For disinfection of contaminated hoists, it is recommended that you wipe down the product
completely with hard surface disinfectant wipes impregnated with a 70% v/v solution of
Isopropyl Alcohol.
Always follow health and safety guidelines when using and handling any cleaning
materials and disinfectants. These are normally detailed on the container.
Cleaning of the Mermaid Standard, Ranger and Commode Seats:
By following the instructions detailed above, it will provide an effective method of cleaning
and/or disinfecting for the exposed surface areas on the hoist. For internal surfaces and
hard-to-clean crevice sections, Oxford recommends that the seat and frame is immersed in a
disinfectant/cleaning solution and cleaned in the following manner:
Mix a suitable quantity of solution in the bath tub, following the instructions on the disinfectant
/cleaner container.
If a lap strap is fitted, this can be removed and cleaned separately to aid cleaning of the seat
frame. Refer to the lap strap fitting and removal instructions. Cleaning instructions for the lap
strap are detailed later in this section.
NOTE:
A mild scrubbing action is required as well as the disinfectant/cleaner to sanitise any
surface.
