Mattress Preventative Maintenance; Electromagnetic Or Other Interference - SPAN PressureGuard PROTOCOL Owner's Manual

4. Routinely inspect the power cord for damage sustained from crushing, pinching, shearing, cutting, or
from being worn through. They can be damaged by bed movement, deterioration from use or aging,
or human or equipment traffic. The cord's insulation should be intact and there should be no
evidence of bulging, stretching, crimping, cracking, or discoloration, especially at the ends, there the
cord is attached to the plug body and the control unit.
5. Regularly inspect as parts of the bed frame, motor, mattress and controller, and the floor beneath and
near the bed for build-up of dust and lint.
6. Inspect the cover of the control panel to assure that the covering is not cracked or damaged, allowing
liquids or other conductive material to penetrate to the switches.
7. Report any unusual sounds, burning odors, or anything unusual to maintenance personnel.
Discontinue use of the power cord immediately and contact Span-America Medical Systems for
replacement.
MATTRESS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Inspect the covers and zipper area for signs of damage, puncture, or wear that could result in fluid pass-
through. If the cover is stained, soiled, or torn, inspect the internal components for signs of contamination. If
contamination is evident, quarantine the mattress and remove from service following infection control
procedures.
You may use the Preventive Maintenance Log provided on the last page of this manual to monitor and
document regular inspection and maintenance of your PressureGuard Protocol Surfaces.
