4. Cleaning
The following guidelines are suggested by Park House Healthcare Ltd
as being suitable infection control procedures. Further information is
available.
PUMPS
General cleaning may be affected by using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent and water solution. This approach may be followed either by
wiping with a sodium hypochlorite solution to a dilute of 1000 ppm or by
using an alcoholic wipe.
Do not use hyper carbonate or phenol based cleaning solutions.
Do not use any abrasive compounds or cleaning pads.
SEAT CUSHIONS
General Cleaning
Using a single use wipe, clean the cover with a solution of neutral detergent
and hand hot water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and a damp single
use wipe. NOTE: The top, bottom and all four sides of the cushion, including
under the zip
fl
aps MUST be cleaned.
Disinfecting the cover
If the cover is heavily soiled or has been exposed to bodily
fl
uids such as
blood, it will require a more thorough cleaning procedure:
Wipe the cover using a single use wipe and a 0.1% Chlorine Solution
(1,000ppm) and cold water. If required a 1% Chlorine Solution (10,000ppm)
and cold water can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and a damp
single use wipe. Make sure the cover is completely dried before re
fi
tting to
the cushion.
Frequent or prolonged exposure to higher concentration disinfectant
solutions may prematurely age the fabric cover. Surfaces must be protected
during use and rinsed and thoroughly dried after application of a disinfectant.
