• 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 mattress
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 support 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 mattress 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.
Therapy Pad
The therapy pad can be wiped down with a disinfectant
solution or a mild detergent with a damp cloth. If
heavily soiled, the therapy pad can be laundered in a
washer and dryer with warm water (no more than 120º
Fahrenheit). A non-bleach detergent should be used
sparingly. Wipe dry or allow to air dry.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit.
Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in
this unit.
Filter Cleaning
Check the air filter on the rear of the unit regularly for
buildup of dust/dirt. If buildup is visible, turn off the
control unit and disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet. Remove the filter by grasping the filter and
pulling outward. Replace with the second supplied
filter. Ensure the replaced filter covers the entire
filter region.
