10.3 Full Cleaning and Disinfection
CAUTION!
Incorrect cleaning/disinfection can damage the system!
► Continued use of high concentration, chlorine-based disinfectants may signicantly reduce the performance and
the working life of a coated material.
10.3.1 Cleaning Top Cover and/or Base Cover
Read section “General Guidance” for more details of the recommended cleaning and disinfection processes.
Use standard hospital detergents, Alcohol-based cleaners or Quaternary Ammonium based disinfectants. Suitable Chlorine
based cleaners can be used at a concentration of 1000ppm. Stronger concentrations of chlorine can be used if required, of up to
10,000ppm (1%) Chlorine, (1:5 dilution of household chlorine bleach), with a maximum dwell time of two minutes at 10,000ppm,
followed by rinsing with water and drying thoroughly before use.
After application of a suitable cleaner, the surface should be rinsed with water and dried before use. (Even if the cleaner instruc-
tions say that this is not required). This prevents a build up of chemicals on the mattress surface that could reactivate during use
and aect biocompatibility.
Cleaning the mattress (exterior):
► Disconnect mattress from SCU.
► Check mattress cover top and base for any signs of damage.
Replace or repair and completely disinfect mattress cover top and base if damaged. If there are any signs of uid ingress
through a damaged cover then all foam mattress parts must be disposed of as clinical waste and replaced with new
original supplier spare parts.
► Rinse mattress with cold water.
► Let mattress air dry or wipe dry.
