General Cleaning
If there is no visible soilage with possible body fluids,
we recommend that you clean the therapy mattress
and specialty surface with a mild detergent and
warm water. If disinfection is desired, you may use
a combination cleanser/disinfectant as explained in
"Disinfecting" area.
• Patient care equipment that does not come in
contact with mucous membranes or non-contact skin
requires low-level disinfection. Wiping surfaces with
a properly prepared detergent or disinfectant carries
out low level disinfecting.
• Processing of dirty patient care equipment should
take place in a designated area away from clean or
sterile supplies and food preparation areas.
• Detergent/disinfectants should not be mixed with
other germicides or detergents. Using the proper
dilution ensures the most effective killing power of
the disinfectant.
• Wash hands often and well, including after removal
of gloves.
• Patient care equipment that is used in isolation
areas should be disinfected in accordance with all
internal policies and procedures regarding such
equipment.
Disinfecting
When there is visible soilage and between patients,
we recommend that you disinfect the unit and therapy
mattress or specialty surface with a tuberculocidal
disinfectant. Disinfectant should be registered with the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• Use rubber gloves and eye protection.
• Prepare detergent/disinfectant (registered by EPA
as hospital disinfectant) solution according to
instructions on label for correct use-dilution.
• With the therapy mattress or specialty surface
deflated, thoroughly wipe down entire mattress,
as air cells will lie flat. Be sure to reach all areas
underneath and in-between air cells. Allow to air dry.
• If dust or other soiling has accumulated along
air hoses, remove using swabs moistened with
detergent/disinfectant as necessary. Allow all
components to air dry. Wrap therapy mattress or
specialty surface in plastic and return to storage
area.
• Thoroughly wipe down outside of control unit and
allow to air dry. Cover with plastic and return to
storage area.
• Remove gloves and dispose; wash hands.
