HOVERMATT CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
(REUSABLE ONLY)
In between patient uses, the HoverMatt should be wiped down with a
cleaning solution used by your hospital for medical equipment disinfection.
A 10:1 bleach solution (10 parts water: one part bleach) or disinfecting
wipes can also be used. It is important to follow the cleaning solution
manufacturer's instructions for use, including dwell time and saturation.
NOTE: Cleaning with bleach solution may discolor fabric.
If a reusable HoverMatt becomes badly soiled, it should be laundered in
a washing machine with a 160° F (71° C) maximum water temperature. A
10:1 bleach solution may be used (10 parts water: one part bleach) during
the wash cycle.
The HoverMatt should be air dried if possible. Air drying can be expedited
by using the air supply to circulate air through the inside of the HoverMatt.
If using a dryer, the temperature setting should be set on the coolest setting.
Drying temperature should never exceed 115° F (46° C). The backing of
the nylon is polyurethane and will begin to deteriorate after repeated high
temperature drying.
The Double-Coated HoverMatt should not be put in the dryer.
To help keep the HoverMatt clean, HoverTech recommends the use of
the HoverCover™ Disposable Absorbent Cover or their Disposable Sheets.
Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the hospital bed clean may also be
placed on top of the HoverMatt.
The Single-Patient Use HoverMatt is not intended to be laundered.

See air supply manual for reference.
NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
BEFORE DISPOSAL.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HoverMatt to
ensure that there is no visible damage that would render the HoverMatt
unusable. The HoverMatt should have all of its patient straps and handles
(reference the manual for all appropriate parts). There should be no tears
or holes that would prevent the HoverMatt from inflating. If any damage is
found that would cause the system not to function as intended, the Hov-
erMatt should be removed from use and returned to HoverTech for repair
(Single-Patient Use HoverMatts should be discarded).
INFECTION CONTROL
HoverTech offers superior infection control with our heat-sealed reusable
HoverMatt. This unique construction eliminates the needle holes of a
sewn mattress which can be potential bacterial entry ways. Additionally,
the heat-sealed, Double-Coated HoverMatt offers a stain and fluid proof
surface for easy cleaning. The Single-Patient Use HoverMatt is also
available to eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination and the need
for laundering.
If the HoverMatt is used for an isolation patient, the hospital should employ
the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and/or for
linens in that patient room.
When a product reaches the end of its lifetime, it should be
separated by material type so that the parts can be recycled or
disposed of properly in accordance with local requirements.
