Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9) 85
CLEANING/DISINFECTING
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Improper cleaning and disinfection could result in patient infection.
• Warning—The potential for electrical shock exists with electrical equipment. Failure to follow
facility protocol could cause death or serious injury.
• Warning—Do not reuse wiping material for multiple steps or on multiple products.
• Warning—Harmful cleaning solutions may cause skin rash and/or irritation upon contact.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions found on the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• Warning—Lift and move items correctly. Do not twist, and seek assistance when necessary.
Make sure the bed is at a correct height to lift items off the bed.
• Warning—Fluid spills on to the bed electronics could cause a hazard. If such a spill occurs,
unplug the bed and remove it from service. When fluid spills occur outside of what is seen in
normal use, immediately do as follows:
a. Unplug the bed from its power source.
b. Remove the patient from the bed.
c. Clean the fluid spill from the bed system.
d. Have maintenance examine the system completely.
e. Do not put the bed back into service until it is completely dry, tested, and found to be safe
to operate.
To help prevent equipment damage, obey these cautions:
• Caution—Do not steam clean or power wash the bed or mattress. Pressure and excessive
moisture can damage protective surfaces of the bed and its electrical components.
• Caution—Do not use harsh cleansers/detergents, heavy duty grease removers, solvents such as
toluene, xylene, or acetone, and do not use scouring pads (you may use a soft bristle brush).
• Caution—Do not use bleach as your primary everyday cleaner/disinfectant.
• Caution—Fully extend the foot section prior to the cleaning and disinfection process.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For proper cleaning and disinfection, staff members should be trained.
The trainer should carefully read the instructions and follow them when the trainee is being trained.
The trainee should:
• Be given time to read the instructions and to ask any questions.
• Clean and disinfect the product while the trainer supervises. During, and/or after this process,
the trainer should correct the trainee of any differences from the instructions for use.
The trainer should supervise the trainee until the trainee can clean and disinfect the bed as instructed.
Hill-Rom recommends to clean and disinfect the bed and mattress before first patient use, between
patient uses, and regularly during extended patient stays.
Some fluids used in the hospital environment, such as iodophor and zinc oxide creams, can cause
permanent stains. Remove temporary stains by wiping vigorously with a lightly-dampened wiping cloth.
