WWAARRNNIINNGG -- Always clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components to avoid the risk of exposure to blood
borne pathogens and injury to the patient or the operator.
Use a solution of 1-2 tablespoons sodium thiosulfate in a pint of warm water to clean the stained area. Clean as soon as
possible after staining occurs. If stains are not immediately removed, allow solution to soak or stand on the surface. Rinse
surfaces which have been exposed to the solution in clear water before returning unit to service.
