► Do not use any strong acids or alkalines, (optimum pH range 6 – 8. Do not exceed pH of 9).
► Use only hospital-approved cleaners suitable for use on coated textiles and observe local directives concerning infection
control.
► Do not use abrasive powders, steel wool, or other material and cleaning agents that might damage the mattress. Do not
scrub mattress surface. Do not allow mechanical damage to occur, (e.g. Needle stick, scalpel/scissors cuts).
► Never use any corrosive or caustic detergents. Do not use cleaners containing Peroxide.
► Never use detergents that deposit calcium carbonate.
► Never use detergents with solvents that might a󰀨ect the structure and consistency of the plastics (benzene, toluene, ace-
tone, 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.
► Always refer to wash label and user guide for each system, as there may be specic instructions for the cover being used.
Mattress parts to be cleaned Recommended Cleaning Agents (General cleaning)
Top Cover
High MVP (Moisture Vapor Permeable) Material
Slippy Mattress Cover Top
Standard hospital detergents or cleaners suitable for use on co-
ated textiles, as described above. Chlorine based disinfectants
containing up to 1000 ppm (0.1%) available Chlorine, followed
by rinsing with water and drying thoroughly before use.
Decontamination: Blood spills/Clostridium di󰀩cile etc
Chlorine based wipes containing up to 5500 ppm (0.55%) avai-
lable Chlorine (e.g. Clinell Clorox wipes). Dwell time on surface
at 5500 ppm of 3 minutes, followed by rinsing with water and
drying thoroughly before use.
Due to the variety of laundry equipment, chemicals and conditions in use, it is the customers’ responsibility to ensure compliance
with manufacturers detailed cleaning instructions.
As stated above, after application of a suitable cleaner and after a suitable dwell time, it is essential that articles be thoroughly
rinsed 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 a󰀨ect biocompatibility. Wet or damp PU (Polyurethane) surfaces
are more prone to mechanical damage than when dry. The High MVP Coating may swell and change appearance during cleaning.
This will recover after being thoroughly dried. (Air dry. Do not wipe aggressively). Before further use, the cover must be fully dry.
13.4 Machine Washing (Hi-MVP Slippy Mattress Cover)
Machine wash top cover using hospital approved, detergent & rinsing agents. The detergent must not contain chlorine based
bleach or peroxide. In order to kill bacteria, during the wash cycle the water temperature must be raised to 71 degrees C (160 de-
grees F) for 3 minutes, or 10 minutes at 65 degrees C (149 degrees F). Dry cover in tumble dryer at low temperature setting.
NOTE Constant use of high concentrations of Chlorine-based cleaners, or high PH value cleaners, may signicantly reduce the
performance and the working life of a coated material.
NOTE Covers that have physical damage that would allow uids to penetrate inside the mattress cover must not be re-used but
disposed of as clinical waste.
NOTE On High Vapour Permeable covers, vapour from chemicals with small molecules can occasionally di󰀨use through the poly-
urethane membrane in a similar manner to water vapour. Any staining on the inside of the cover caused by such an occurrence is
not due to any loss of liquid / microbial barrier properties of the fabric, and being cosmetic only, should not be treated as a cover
failure as replacement is not required.

DANGER!
Risk of mortal injury due to electric shock!
► If a fault occurs, have the electric motor, power box or other electrical parts repaired by qualied personnel
exclusively.
► Do not open the protective covers of the electric motor or the power box.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to lack of support!
If the OptiCare integrated mattress is empty so that the patient is lying directly on the foam base, and it is not possible
to solve the problem by following the troubleshooting instructions:
► Move patient onto a suitable support surface as quickly as possible.
