User Instructions
The Pro-Mat-Bario mattresses have been designed for use on mesh, slat & solid
mattress supports and can be used on profiling & static bed bases, by patients in the ‘at
risk’ user category
♣
with a weight guide of up to 294kgs / 46 stones (394kgs / 62 stones
for Bario-Max) NOTE: You should check the Safe Working Load of the bed on which the
mattress is to be used to ensure compatibility with mattress & user.
Ensure that the surface of the bed is clear from debris before positioning the mattress –
debris can damage the coating of the fabric.
Frequent rotation of the foam mattresses is essential to ensure that loading is evenly
spread across both ends in order to minimise foam core fatigue in use. The mattress is
for rotation only (head to foot & foot to head). It must not be turned over as pressure-
relieving qualities would then be compromised.
The cover on this mattress is removable for cleaning purposes & to allow for inspection
of the cover and the foam core for damage and contamination. It is recommended that
frequent inspections of the cover are made to check for damage such as holes or cuts.
Always ensure that, if removed, the cover is returned to the original foam core to avoid
cross-contamination. Using this cover on a different foam core may also render the
warranty invalid.
Instructions for use are screen printed onto the cover of the product for ease of
reference.

Indication of use based upon interface pressure readings – not a prescriptive criteria. Always defer to clinician’s

Cleaning
For general cleaning and superficial dirt, use a disposable wipe with a solution of warm
water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive or phenolic-based cleaners. Do not
mangle or iron.
To disinfect in situ, use a 0.1% sodium hypochloride solution (1,000 ppm chlorine).
A removable cover, identified as contaminated should be laundered at 65°C for not less
than 10 minutes or at 95°C for not less than 3 minutes. Do not mangle or iron. Spin and
tumble-dry at not more than 130°C. Thoroughly rinse and dry the cover before re-use or
storage. Store in a cool dry area.
Contaminated foam cores cannot be decontaminated and should be disposed of safely, as
should any cover damaged by cuts, tears or ‘sharps’ penetration.
