Cleaning/Disinfecting
116 Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15)
When you perform the detailed cleaning steps, please note the following:
• A microfiber cloth or ready-to-use is recommended as the wiping cloth.
• Always replace the wiping cloth when visibly soiled.
• Always replace the wiping cloth between steps (spot clean, clean, and disinfect).
• Always use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Adjust the bed position, siderails, headboard, and footboard as needed for ease of cleaning and
disinfection.
Prepare the Bed for Cleaning and Disinfection
a. Fully extend the foot section.
b. Unplug the bed.
STEP 1: Cleaning
a. As necessary, first remove visible soil from the bed and the surface using a wiping cloth soaked
with an approved cleaner/disinfectant (see page 115).
• Give special attention to seam surfaces and other areas where soil may accumulate.
• A soft bristle brush may be used to loosen hardened soil.
• Use as many wiping cloths as needed to remove the soil.
Laundry can be used as a pre-cleaning step on some Progressa top surface cover. Launder the
cover, then follow the Cleaning and Disinfection instructions. See “Laundry Guidelines” on
page 118.
It is important to remove all visible soil from all areas before continuing to remove non-visible soil.
b. With a new wiping cloth soaked in an approved cleaner/disinfectant, use firm pressure to wipe
all surfaces of the bed and the surface (including laundered covers, if applicable). Use a new or
clean wiping cloth as often as necessary. Make sure the following items are cleaned:
•Siderails
• Headboard and footboard
• Areas between the footboard and surface, headboard and surface, and siderails and
surface.
• Upper frame
• Base frame
•Power cord
• Patient pendant (handheld remote) and pendant cord
• Accessories
• Surface - top and bottom
– To raise the surface to clean underneath,
find the surface retention knobs on the
underside of the surface, and slide the
knobs to the center of bed.
