Instructions for use
13.2 Mattress
•
Personal Protective Equipment
should be worn during the
entire cleaning process.
•
Regular cleaning and
disinfection of the mattress
system will help to prevent the
risk of infection to the occupant
and/or carer.
•
Prior to transferring the mattress
system to another user, ensure
it has been cleaned and
disinfected using the method as
detailed to help prevent the risk
of cross infection.
Inspection:
Before attempting to clean the mattress, the
top cover is to be checked for physical signs of
damage that may lead to strikethrough (ingress
of fluid through the cover). This is achieved by
unzipping the top cover and looking for signs of
staining to the white underside.
•
Replace the cover if strike-
through is evident – Risk of
cross infection.
•
Replace the cover if there are
any signs of damage (tearing,
punctures, abrasion, damaged
seams etc.)
General Cleaning:
•
Wipe down with a clean cloth moistened
with a mild detergent and diluted in warm
water (40˚C).
•
Rinse with cold clean water and a clean
cloth.
•
Dry off with paper towels - Always ensure
the cleaned surfaces are allowed to fully dry
before putting back into use.
