Mattress
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 mattress and control unit.
AIR FILTER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: The air filter for the Control Unit should be
checked routinely for signs of dirt or contamination. The frequency for cleaning depends on the
air quality. The air filter is accessible from the back of the Control Unit and is covered by a
removable tan colored cover. As the filter is white, the need to clean is obvious. Simply remove
the cover, remove the filter, and hand wash using warm water and mild detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and allow to air dry. Replace the filter and clip the cover back into place.
