taking into account the recommendations given below) or a disinfecting
spray.

TB, fungi and viruses, including HIV-1 and HBV).
• Chlorine (26,000ppm) solution that complies to EN 13727 and EN 13624 can

rinsed to prevent pitting corrosion.
The following products should not be used
Formaldehyde, or phenol-based products and solvents of any kind (toluene,
xylene or acetone).
Never use abrasives, cleaning powder or cleaning pads that may damage
components.
Recommended Cleaning and Disinfection Method
• Always wipe downward, working from the cleanest to the dirtiest areas.
• Do not scrape surfaces.
• Keep wipes damp (wet as many times as needed and do not wring out too
much water).
• Let product dry according to disinfectant manufacturer's recommendations to
ensure maximum efficiency.
• Rinse if necessary: follow the recommendations of the disinfectant supplier.
• Change wipes when cleaning the least contaminated areas to areas of
medium or to highly contaminated areas.
• Change wipes when cleaning another bed.
• Always dry the bed thoroughly after it has been cleaned.
Cleaning tough stains
Quickly wipe away any traces of pharmaceutical solutions used for the patients
to avoid damage to the surface.
To remove tough stains, use standard household cleaners and a soft bristle brush.
To loosen heavy, dried-on soil or excreta, you may first need to saturate the spot.
