Disinfecting
WARNING
• Always disinfect the support surface between patients, to avoid the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
• Always make sure that you wipe each product with clean water and thoroughly dry each product after cleaning or
disinfecting. Some cleaning and disinfecting agents are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if
you use them improperly. If you do not properly rinse and dry the product, a corrosive residue may be left on the
surface of the product that could cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to follow these
cleaning or disinfecting instructions may void your warranty.
• Do not allow fluid to pool on the support surface. Fluids may cause degradation of components and may cause
unpredictable safety and performance of this product.
• Always unplug the product power cord before cleaning or disinfecting to avoid the risk of shock.
CAUTION
• Always completely dry the support surface covers before storing, adding linens, or placing a patient on the surface.
• Do not over expose the covers to higher concentration disinfectant solutions as these may degrade the covers.
• Do not use accelerated hydrogen peroxides or quaternaries that contain glycol ethers as they may damage the cover
or the CPR strap print.
Prerequisite: Minimum of two operators are required to disinfect the support surface.
Suggested disinfectants:
• Quaternaries
• Phenolic Disinfectants
• Chlorinated Bleach Solution (5.25% bleach diluted 1 part bleach to 100 parts water)
• 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
To disinfect the support surface covers after each patient use, follow these steps in order:
1. Unplug the InTouch power cord.
2. Unplug the support surface.

4. Thoroughly clean and dry the support surface covers (see Cleaning on page 1-19) before disinfectants are applied.

Notes
• Make sure that you follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate contact time and rinsing
requirements.
• To disinfect the bottom cover of the support surface, raise the head of bed and foot end to help fold the head
end and foot end of the support surface.
