12.1 Safety Instructions for Cleaning and Disinfection of the Bed
Preparation for cleaning:
Drive the bed on a place where the cleaning process will be performed and then brake the bed.
Position the mattress platform to its highest positions and also position the back rest and thigh rest parts
so the back side of those parts are accessible for cleaning.
Lock all adjustment functions of the bed to prevent involuntary adjustment of the bed or injuries during
cleaning.
Disconnect the bed from the mains.
Check if all connectors are properly fixed (controllers, actuators and control unit).
Recommendations for cleaning:
Only use detergents designed for cleaning the medical technologies.
Dilute the detergents in accordance with instructions from manufacturer of detergents.
Never use any strong acids or bases. Optimal pH range is 6-8.
Never use abrasive powders, steel wool or other materials and detergents that may damage the surface of
the bed.
Never use detergents with solvents that may affect the structure and consistency of the plastic parts
(benzene, toluene, acetone etc.).
Cleaning process:
Clean by wiping the bed with damp, well-wrung textile material.
The detergent can be applied by spraying on bed or on the textile material.
Perform cleaning and disinfection of the bed in the appropriate range. The range of cleaning and
disinfection should be distinguished according to the degree of contamination of the bed and the cleaning
mode (daily, before changing patient or complete).
Electronic parts that may be contaminated clean carefully and only their outer side. Never open those
connectors due to cleaning or disinfection. Those components should not be exposed to prolonged or
continuous exposure to moisture.
Let the bed dry completely after cleaning or disinfection process.
After drying the bed place the mattress back on the mattress platform.
