GETINGE Arjohuntleigh RIK Fluid Overlay Mode D'emploi page 7

Top Cover
The top cover is made of a nylon fabric with moisture vapor permeable backing and
is designed to fit loosely on the overlay.
Sheet Magnets
Specially designed magnets allow for a flat linen sheet to be placed loosely on the
overlay while still being held securely. Sheets should remain loose to avoid the in-
creased pressure that occurs with tight fitting sheets. Wrinkles in the sheets are not
of concern, as the fluid design of the overlay helps prevent increased pressure on
the skin at the area of the wrinkle.
Overlay Positioning
The overlay is designed to fit on most standard hospital mattresses.
Patient Ingress and Egress
The RIK Fluid Overlay has a firm foam edge of support along each side. It also gives
support during patient ingress and egress.
RIK Fluid Overlay Covers
Use only the RIK Fluid Overlay covers, as the use of improper covers may adversely
affect the performance of the RIK Fluid Overlay. A standard flat sheet, incontinence
pad or turn-and-draw sheet may be used as long as they are kept loose and not
tucked under the overlay edge. Do not use any additional padding on the overlay
surface.
Cleaning
ArjoHuntleigh recommends the use of approved hospital disinfectants provided the
manufacturer's instructions are followed.
NOTE: Always wear personal protective equipment as outlined by facility protocol.
The RIK Fluid Overlay can be cleaned using a two-step procedure.
1. Using a soft cloth wipe the entire surface of the overlay with warm soapy
water or approved hospital disinfectant diluted according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or phenolics.
2. Wipe off excess solution.
3. Rinse the cover thoroughly using plain water.
4. Allow to air dry.
5. Examine the cover for any tears that may have allowed contaminants to
penetrate the cover.
