5 Cleaning and Disinfection
5.1 Safety information on cleaning and disinfection
ATTENTION
Cleaning is the most important measure and requirement for ensuring successful chemical
disinfection.
When the bed is occupied by the same resident, routine cleaning of the bed is generally suffi-
cient.
Disinfection of the chassis is only necessary if it has been visibly contaminated with infec-
tious or potentially infectious materials (blood, stool, pus etc.) or if the doctor requires this
due to the presence of an infectious disease.
Before a new resident occupies the bed, the bed must first be cleaned and disinfected
by wiping!
Material damage
Failure to heed this warning may result in severe damage to the bed and its electrical equip-
ment and lead to subsequent faults.
•
This bed is not suitable for machine washing or for cleaning in a decontamination unit.
The bed is only suitable for manual cleaning and disinfection.
•
Unplug the power plug and store it so that it does not come into excessive contact with
water or other cleaning solutions (place in a plastic bag).
•
Ensure that all plugs on the bed itself are inserted correctly in the control unit and the
drive motors.
•
Ensure that none of the electrical components show any signs of external damage; other-
wise water or cleaning agents may penetrate the system. This can result in malfunctions
or damage to the electrical components.
