If required, the air control unit can be cleaned.
Turn unit off and unplug from wall before cleaning. [Note: The mattress will
maintain air with the unit unplugged. The unit will resume previous setting when
powered back up].
Wipe down using damp sponge or cloth that has been thoroughly wrung out to
remove excess liquid. Do not allow liquids to penetrate the user panel.
For cleaning, use neutral suds and lukewarm water. For disinfection, phenolic or quaternary
type disinfectants are recommended. Disinfectants should be hospital grade (tuberculocidal).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for concentrations and contact times.

AIR FILTER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: The air filter for the Control Unit should be checked
routinely for signs of dirt or contamination. The frequency for cleaning depends on the air
quality. The air filter is accessible from the backside of the Control Unit. As the filter is white,
the need to clean is obvious. Simply turn the controller off and remove the plastic cover, remove
the filter, and hand wash using warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to
air dry. Replace the filter and the plastic cover.
ROUTINE INSPECTION OF POWER CORDS AND SAFETY TIPS TO PREVENT FIRES
1. Assure that the electrical resistance of the safety ground conductor and the level of
leakage current (line conductor-to-safety ground and neutral conductor-to-safety
ground) meet applicable standards for resistivity and leakage current. Protection
afforded by the ground pin is negated if the receptacle is not properly grounded. If you
have questions about the adequacy of your facility’s building wiring, contact qualified
electrician or consult the code authority in your jurisdiction.
2. Check all electrical outlets, including accessory outlets for cleanliness, physical integrity
and functionality. The IEEE standard 602-1996, section 4.2.2 advises that hospital-grade
outlets be used and that they should be mounted with the ground pin or neutral blade up
to assure that any metal that may drop between the plug and the wall will most likely
contact an unenergized blade.
3. Check the power cord to assure that contact pins are straight and secure.
4. Routinely inspect the power cord for damage sustained from crushing, pinching,
shearing, cutting, or from being worn through. They can be damaged by bed movement,
deterioration from use or aging, or human or equipment traffic. The cord’s insulation
