Cleaning/Disinfecting
Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15) 115
RECOMMENDATIONS
For proper cleaning and disinfection, users should be trained.
The trainer should carefully read the instructions and follow them when the trainee is being trained.
The trainee should:
• Be given time to read the instructions and to ask any questions.
• Clean and disinfect the product while the trainer supervises. During, and/or after this process,
the trainer should correct the trainee of any differences from the instructions for use.
The trainer should supervise the trainee until the trainee can clean and disinfect the bed as instructed.
Baxter recommends to clean and disinfect the bed and surface before first patient use, between patient
use, and regularly during extended patient stays.
Some fluids such as iodophor and zinc oxide creams can cause permanent stains. Remove temporary
stains by wiping vigorously with a lightly-dampened wiping cloth.
CLEANING AND D ISINFECTION
Cleaning and disinfection are distinctly different processes. Cleaning is the physical removal of visible
and non-visible soil and contaminants. Disinfection is intended to kill microorganisms.
Table 1 below summarizes the approved cleaners/disinfectants for use with the associated contact time
for disinfection.
Table 1: Approved Cleaners/Disinfectants
*Bleach is not recommended as the primary cleaner/disinfectant.
Remove any disinfectant residue prior to and after the use of bleach with a new or clean
cloth/wipe soaked in tap water.
Not all cleaners and disinfectants listed in Table 1 may be approved for sale in your country. Always
refer to the local regulations for the available cleaners and disinfectants. For questions, contact your
