Cleaning and Disinfecting a Machine Washable Coverlet
For a lightly soiled coverlet, you may wipe it clean as described above. However, when there are signs
of heavy soil such as body fluids and/or substances, machine wash the coverlet as follows:
1. Remove the coverlet.
2. Machine-wash the coverlet with chlorine bleach (50 ppm to 150 ppm) or detergent and an
effective intermediate level disinfectant, such as CSI disinfectant spray. (For customers in the
US, the disinfectant should be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency.)
– 2.5 oz of bleach per 10 gal of water is approximately 100 ppm of available chlorine.
• Use the bleach or disinfectant as instructed in the manufacturer’s instructions.
• To determine the amount of bleach or disinfectant to use, determine the amount of water in
the washer, and follow the manufacturer’s dilution instructions.
• During the wash cycle, soak the coverlet in the disinfectant or bleach.
• Let the coverlet rinse thoroughly in clean water.
CAUTION:
Do not use high temperatures to dry the coverlet. Air dry or select a low or non-heat dry cycle such
as air fluff. High temperatures could destroy the coating that makes the coverlet waterproof yet
breathable.
3. Use the lowest temperature setting of the dryer to dry the coverlet. Do not use high
temperatures.
Install a Surface after Cleaning
1. Return the sleep deck to the level position, and fully extend the foot section.
2. Put the surface on the sleep deck.
3. Connect the quick-disconnect connector at the seat section.
4. Connect the mattress hooks at the head and foot-end of the mattress.
5. Make sure the surface is extended completely to the footboard.
Damaged Surface Ticking
WARNING:
Check surfaces periodically to make sure ticking impermeability is not compromised.
Tears, holes, and cracks in the sleep surface ticking will compromise surface impermeability and
infection resistance. Repairs to the ticking are not recommended. Contact your facility maintenance to
replace the ticking.
