ENGLISH
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING YOUR J3 AIR
INSERT
Cleaning and disinfecting are two separate processes. Cleaning
must precede disinfection.
CLEANING THE AIR INSERT
To clean the AIR insert, gently pull it out of the recess in the
foam base, taking care to gently pull the valve through the foam.
Deflate the cushion, close the valve(s) and place in a large
sink. Gently scrub the air cells and the spaces between them
with a soft plastic bristle brush, sponge or washcloth. Liquid
dishwashing or laundry detergent or other general-purpose
cleaning product is suggested. For institutional cleaning, a
general housekeeping disinfectant cleaner may be used.
DISINFECTING THE AIR INSERT
To disinfect the AIR Insert, use a germicidal product that meets
infection control needs. A disinfectant with tuberculocidal
properties is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's dilution
directions. For home disinfection, use solutions of approximately
1/2 cup liquid household bleach per quart of water (125 ml bleach
to 1 liter of water). Keep the clean cushion wet with bleach
solution for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Disinfectants are not effective on porous surfaces, such as foam,
if the cushion becomes soiled or contaminated. DO NOT use with
multiple users.
CAUTION– DO NOT USE OIL-BASED LOTIONS OR LANOLIN ON
YOUR CUSHION AS THEY MAY COMPROMISE THE
INTEGRITY OF THE NEOPRENE RUBBER.

Although patches do not change the performance of the cushion,
they should be monitored periodically to ensure effectiveness in
addressing the leak. If the patch is not successful in addressing
the problem, or if more extensive damage is present, please
contact your supplier immediately.
