This bed is not suitable for machine washing or for cleaning in a
decontamination unit. The bed is only suitable for manual
cleaning and disinfection. To extend the bed’s service life and
preserve its operability, always follow the instructions given in this
chapter.
5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ON CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Cleaning is the most important measure and requirement for ensuring successful
chemical disinfection.
When the bed is occupied by the same resident, routine cleaning of the bed is
generally sufficient. Disinfection of the chassis is only necessary if it has been visibly
contaminated with infectious or potentially infectious materials (blood, stool, pus etc.)
or if the doctor requires this due to the presence of an infectious disease.
Before a new resident occupies the bed, the bed must first be cleaned and
disinfected by wiping!
Before cleaning or disinfecting:
• Unplug the switch mode power supply from the mains socket and
keep it in a safe place where it cannot come into contact with water or
cleaning solutions.
• Ensure that none of the electrical components show any signs of
external damage. Failure to comply with this may result in the ingress
of water or detergents into the electronic equipment and cause
malfunctions or damage.
• Before using the switching power supply again, ensure that there is
no residual moisture on the electrical contacts.
• The electrical components must never be cleaned with a water jet, a
high pressure cleaner or other similar devices! Clean only with a
moist cloth!
• If you suspect that water or any other form of moisture has
penetrated the electrical components, unplug the switch mode power
supply immediately or, if already unplugged, do not plug it back into
the mains socket. Label the bed clearly as “Out of Order” and take
the bed out of service. Report this immediately to the operator
responsible.
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in
considerable damage to the equipment and lead to subsequent
malfunctions!
