with an approved cleaner/disinfectant (see page 108).
• Give special attention to seams and other areas where soil may accumulate.
• A soft bristle brush may be used to loosen hardened soil.
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 surface of the bed and surface. 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

– 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.
