Disinfecting After cleaning the bed as described above, wipe all surfaces with sodium
dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) at a concentration of 1,000 parts per
million (0.1%) of available chlorine.
In the case of pooling body fluids, e.g. blood, the concentration of
NaDCC should be increased to 10,000 parts per million (1%) of available
chlorine.
Use of other
disinfectants
Arjo recommends sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) as a
disinfectant because it is effective, stable and has a fairly neutral pH.
Many other disinfectants are used in healthcare facilities, and it is not
possible for Arjo to test each one to determine whether it may affect the
appearance or performance of the bed.
If facility protocols require the use of a disinfectant other than NaDCC
(e.g. diluted bleach or hydrogen peroxide), it should be used with care
and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive compounds or pads, or phenol-based disinfectants.
Do not use jet stream cleaning or wash tunnels.
Do not remove grease from the actuator pistons.
