Wipe down the pump unit with a damp cloth pre-soaked with a mild detergent. Avoid
contact with dust and proximity to dusty areas. Make sure that any cleaning agents
you use will not harm or corrode the plastic casing on the pump unit. All
components should be air dried thoroughly before use.
CAUTION: Do not immerse or soak the pump unit in liquids.
Ne laissez pas de liquides s'infiltrer dans le panneau de l'utilisateur.
Disconnect air lines from control unit and use "transport" cap to seal air into mattress (see
PATIENT TRANSPORT) page 9.
Turn unit off and unplug from wall before cleaning. Wipe down with using damp sponge or
cloth that has been thoroughly wrung out to remove excess liquid.
Éteignez l'unité de commande et débranchez-la avant de la nettoyer. Essuyez avec une éponge
humide ou un chiffon soigneusement essoré pour enlever l'excédent de liquide.
ROUTINE INSPECTION OF POWER CORDS AND SAFETY TIPS TO PREVENT FIRES
1. Assure that the electrical resistance of the safety ground conductor and the level of leakage
current (line conductor-to-safety ground and neutral conductor-to-safety ground) meet
applicable standards for resistivity and leakage current. Protection afforded by the ground pin
is negated if the receptacle is not properly grounded. If you have questions about the
adequacy of your facility's building wiring, contact qualified electrician or consult the code
authority in your jurisdiction.
2. Check all electrical outlets, including accessory outlets for cleanliness, physical integrity and
functionality. The IEEE standard 602-1996, section 4.2.2 advises that hospital-grade outlets be
used and that they should be mounted with the ground pin or neutral blade up to assure that
any metal that may drop between the plug and the wall will most likely contact an unenergized
blade.
3. Check the power cord to assure that contact pins are straight and secure
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.
