OTHER COMPONENTS
•
Check air cells and mattress interior for signs of damage or contamination, e.g.
staining or fluid ingress at each decontamination process, i.e. between patients or
patient occupancy (or weekly for longer term patients).
•
The individual cells can be wiped clean with a mild antiseptic solution.
•
All cells are replaceable and can be sourced from Harvest Healthcare.
POWER UNIT
Disconnect the power unit from the electricity supply before carrying out maintenance, repairs
or cleaning.
Check all electrical connections and power lead for signs of wear and damage.
The power unit can be wiped down with a detergent or disinfectant solution. Do not use
solvents. Unsuitable for sterilisation.
The use of inappropriate cleaning and detergent materials on medical equipment could damage
surfaces and may compromise the ability to decontaminate medical devices adequately or may
interfere with device function.
When the pump or mattress is no longer required dispose of the equipment in accordance
with the local regulations. WEEE requirements do apply to the pump unit and any electrical
components including cables which are used for or with this product.
