Cleaning the mattress:
► Check mattress cover top for any signs of damage or for liquid ingress.

nated. In case of core contamination, do not use the mattress and dispose the core ecologically.

12.4.3 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 aect biocompatibility.
Cleaning the mattress:
► Check mattress cover top and base for any signs of damage.

for 3 - 10 minutes, using hospital approved detergents and rinsing agents.

NOTE Maximum wash temperature 75°C (but it decreases lifetime period of the product).
12.4.4 Mattress Core
The entire core of the mattress does not require any major cleaning. The core does not need disinfection. Once a month it is
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.
