General guidance:
► Do not use any strong acids or alkalines, (optimum pH range 6 – 8. Do not exceed pH of 9).
Some hard surface cleaners have pH values outside this range, these are not suitable for use
on coated textiles.
► Only use detergents that are suitable for cleaning medical equipment and for use on coated
textiles.
► Do not use abrasive powders, steel wool, or other material and cleaning agents that might
damage the mattress. Do not scrub mattress surface.
► Never use any corrosive or caustic detergents.
► Never use detergents that deposit calcium carbonate.
► Never use detergents with solvents that might affect the structure and consistency of the
plastics (benzene, toluene, acetone, phenol, etc.).
► Use only hospital-approved cleaners and observe local directives concerning infection control.
► Always rinse with water after cleaning and dry thoroughly before use.
Mattress parts to be
cleaned
Recommended Cleaning Agents (General cleaning)
Top Cover
(back and seat section, foot
sectio, leg rests)
For general cleaning and superficial dirt, use a disposable wipe
with a solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Do not use
abrasive or phenolic-based cleaners. Cleaning by neutral water
and soap, followed by rinsing with water, is sufficient to clean
this product. Solvent containing alcohol, bleaching or abrasive
products can be harmful.
Decontamination: Blood spills/Clostridium difficile etc.
Chlorine based disinfectants:
► For routine decontamination, use a concentration of
5,000 ppm chlorine
► In case of heavy contamination, a concentration of up to
10,000 ppm chlorine can be used
Dwell time on surface at 10,000 ppm of 2 minutes, followed by
rinsing with water and drying thoroughly before use. PU coated
fabrics may feel dry to the touch, but still retain moisture. Wait until
the surface is no longer cold to the touch before putting PU coated
fabrics back into service.
Inner covers
(foam core covers of the
back and seat section and
footrest)
Recommended Cleaning Agents (General cleaning)
See the procedure above.
Decontamination: Blood spills/Clostridium difficile etc
To disinfect in situ, use a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution
(5,000 ppm chlorine). Thoroughly rinse the cover with clean
water and allow drying before re-use or storage.
If the inner cover is heavily soiled, do not use the mattress
and contact the service department.
As stated above, after application of a suitable cleaner, the surface must be rinsed with water and
dried before use. (Even if the cleaner instructions say that this is not required). This prevents a build
up of chemicals on the mattress surface which could be reactivated during use and affect biocom-
patibility and durability.
