Cleaning - Proactive Protekt Aire 4000DX Operation Manual

CLEANING

In this section, we describe the procedures to clean and decontaminate the pump. It is important to
follow these procedures before using the system again.
The cleaning task is required at least once a week to maintain personal hygiene.
Pump Unit
DO NOT immerse or soak the pump in any water or fluids.
Check for external damage and move the pump to the cleaning area.
Place the pump on a work surface and spray or wipe the outside of the case with quaternary ammonium
solution.
DO NOT spray any cleaning solution directly on the surface of the pump.
DO NOT use a Hypocarbonate or Phenolic based cleaning solution as this may cause damage to the case.
Allow the solution to incubate for 10 minutes or accordingly as stated by the cleaning product
instructions.
Wipe case with a clean cloth. Make sure all areas are clean (top and bottom, both sides).
Spray cloth with cleaning solution and clean faceplate. DO NOT allow excess cleaning solution on
faceplate or control panel. (If solution gets inside, damage will occur.) Allow surface to thoroughly dry
after cleaning.
After the pump is thoroughly cleaned and dried, proceed to plug in the pump and test to see if it runs
normally.
Unplug the pump and store with proper identification tag.
Avoid long exposure to sunlight.
Mattress
Brush off or wipe down all surfaces of the cover sheet with soap and water before wetting with any
liquid disinfectant.
Any obvious blood spots should be wet thoroughly with 1:9 Hypochiorite solution (1 part bleach to 9
parts water) and allow drying for at least 10 minutes. Then blot with a clean, damp cloth.
Unzip the top cover from the mattress.
Brush or wipe down all surfaces with soap and water before applying any liquid.
Covers are immersed and soaked in disinfectant for the required incubation time.
After pre-soaking, the cover is rinsed through a regular cycle in a washer with no soap then laundered
with mild detergent (wash temperature 93°F/34°C, rinse temperature 78°F/26°C or on the coldest
setting).
Covers are aerated until they are fully dry. (Drying temperature range 90-120°F/32-49°C or on the
coldest setting.)
The air cells are unsnapped from one side and are sprayed on all sides with a disinfectant. Let it sit for
the required incubation time and wipe down with a clean cloth. (Make sure to disconnect all the air cells,
one by one, and spray the disinfectant on all sides, including all the connecting tubes and hoses. Let it sit
for least 10 minutes. )
If there is a base after you remove all the air cells, the base has to be sprayed down with the disinfectant,
inside and outside. Let it sit for the required incubation time and wipe down with a cloth.
Repeat the process with the tubing set: spray, incubate, and then wipe clean.
The carrying bag should be turned inside out and completely wiped down using the disinfectant solution.
Allow it to thoroughly air dry. Once the inside is dry, turn it back: wipe down the outside of the bag with
disinfectant.
Dry the mattress on a flat surface area after cleaning, away from exposure to the sun.
Avoid long exposure to sunlight.
