Cleaning and Disinfecting

General Warnings:
- Cleaning and disinfecting are separate processes. Cleaning must precede disinfection. If the
product becomes soiled, or between use by different individuals: clean, disinfect, and check
the product for proper functioning.
- Clean the product regularly and when it becomes soiled.
- If a made-to-order cover is being used with the Toilet Seat Cushion or Shower / Commode
Cushion, remove it before cleaning / disinfecting, and replace it only when the cushion is
completely dry. Note: Covers are not available in all markets.
- Follow all manufacturer bleach container and germicidal disinfectant safety guidelines.
- Note about sterilization: High temperatures accelerate aging and will damage the product
assembly. The products featured in this manual are not packaged in a sterile condition, nor
are they intended or required to be sterilized prior to use. If institution protocol demands
sterilization: First, follow the cleaning and disinfecting instructions; then, open the inflation
valve and use the lowest possible sterilizing temperature, but not to exceed 158°F (70°C), for
the shortest time possible. DO NOT autoclave.
Cushion Care Cautions: Use of the following may cause damage to the cushion:
abrasives (steel wool, scouring pads); caustic, automatic dishwasher detergents; cleaning
products that contain petroleum or organic solvents, including acetone, toluene, Methyl Ethyl
Ketone (MEK), naphtha, dry cleaning fluid, adhesive remover; oil-based lotions, lanolin; ozone
gas; ultraviolet light cleaning methods. DO NOT expose to direct sunlight.
Warning: DO NOT allow water or cleaning solution to enter the cushion. Make sure the
inflation valve is closed.
Note: Deflated air cells may be easier to thoroughly clean. To deflate the air cells: with the
inflation valve open, roll up and/or compress the cushion, and then completely close the
inflation valve. (Does not apply to THE ADAPTOR.)
