DANGER
emergency deflation and turn off the power unit by pressing the power/
mute button on the control panel at the same time for emergency
deflation. The air will discharge from the mattress with the patient's
own weight. To resume normal operation, simply re-insert the CPR latch
securely, press the power/mute button again and reset the patient
weight. See instructions in Section 6.
10. Cleaning Instruction
The air mattress and power unit must be cleaned thoroughly between patients
to avoid cross contamination. The following is a suggested guideline. Be sure to
follow local infection control policies.
Regular cleaning can be performed at bedside with a disinfectant followed by
drying with a clean dry cloth. Use only mild detergents to clean the coverlet and
the mattress. Any appropriate non-phenolic cleaning agent may be used for
heavy soiling from urine, blood or other bodily fluids. Please ensure that the air
mattress and coverlet are completely dry before letting the patient lie on the
surface again.
The recommended wash temperature is 70°C, at 95°C the shrinkage rate is 1%
higher and the colour might run insignificantly.
Always replace the coverlet before using the mattress. If the coverlet is not
properly fitted to the mattress the hybrid alternating pressure cells may move.
There is also a high risk of cross contamination if the mattress is used without a
coverlet.
Do not use electric or tumble dryers. Do not iron.
Always unplug the power unit before cleaning. Routine cleaning of power
unit can be done by wiping down with damp cloth, using disinfectant or
mild detergent. Never spray liquids directly on the unit itself.
