11.4.3 Complete Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning Top/Bottom Cover:
Use standard hospital detergents, Alcohol based cleaners or Quaternary Ammonium based disinfectants. Suitable Chlorine based
cleaners can be used at a concentration of 0,05%. Stronger concentrations of chlorine can be used if required, (up to 0,1%), with a
maximum dwell time of ve minutes followed by rinsing with water and drying thoroughly before use.
After application of a suitable cleaner, the surface should be rinsed with water and dried before use. (Even if the cleaner instruc-
tions say that this is not required). This prevents a build up of chemicals on the mattress surface that could reactivate during use
and affect biocompatibility.
Cleaning the mattress:

recommended to ventilate the mattress core (remove the mattress cover and leave the mattress core on ventilated area for 12 -24
hours). The mattress core cannot be washed by water or by disinfection.
