Cleaning
Warning: Unplug the control unit from its power
source. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or equipment damage.
Warning: Do not expose the unit to excessive
moisture that would allow for liquid pooling. Personal
injury or equipment damage could occur.
Caution: Do not use harsh cleansers/detergents,
such as scouring pads and heavy-duty grease
removers, or solvents, such as acetone. Equipment
damage could occur.
Control Unit
Wipe off dust. If necessary, clean the housing
exterior with a disinfectant solution or a mild
detergent and a damp cloth. Then wipe dry.
General Cleaning
If there is no visible soilage with possible body uids,
we recommend that you clean the therapy mattress
and specialty surface with a mild detergent and
warm water. If disinfection is desired, you may use
a combination cleanser/disinfectant as explained in
“Disinfecting” area.
• Patient care equipment that does not come in
contact with mucous membranes or non-contact
skin requires low-level disinfection. Wiping surfaces
with a properly prepared detergent or disinfectant
carries out low level disinfecting.
• Processing of dirty patient care equipment should
take place in a designated area away from clean or
sterile supplies and food preparation areas.
• Detergent/disinfectants should not be mixed with
other germicides or detergents. Using the proper
dilution ensures the most effective killing power of
the disinfectant.
• Wash hands often and well, including after removal
of gloves.
• Patient care equipment that is used in isolation
areas should be disinfected in accordance with all
internal policies and procedures regarding such
equipment.
Disinfecting
When there is visible soilage and between patients,
we recommend that you disinfect the unit and
therapy mattress or specialty surface with a
tuberculocidal disinfectant. Disinfectant should be
registered with the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
• Use rubber gloves and eye protection.
• Prepare detergent/disinfectant (registered by EPA
as hospital disinfectant) solution according to
instructions on label for correct use-dilution.
• With the therapy mattress or specialty surface
deated, thoroughly wipe down entire mattress,
as air cells will lie at. Be sure to reach all areas
underneath and in-between air cells. Allow to air
dry.
• If dust or other soiling has accumulated along
air hoses, remove using swabs moistened with
detergent/disinfectant as necessary. Allow all
components to air dry. Wrap therapy mattress or
specialty surface in plastic and return to storage
area.
• Thoroughly wipe down outside of control unit and
allow to air dry. Cover with plastic and return to
storage area.
• Remove gloves and dispose; wash hands.
Therapy Pad
The therapy pad can be wiped down with a
disinfectant solution or a mild detergent with a
damp cloth. If heavily soiled, the therapy pad can
be laundered in a washer and dryer with warm
water (no more than 120º Fahrenheit). A non-bleach
detergent should be used sparingly. Wipe dry or
allow to air dry.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit.
Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this
unit.
