13.0 System Cleaning, Care and Storage

13.1 Cleaning
Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet before attempting to clean the Control
Unit. Do not heat or steam autoclave any component of the system.
1. To clean, use soap, water and a clean cloth to wipe down the Control Unit, power cord, hoses and
mattress. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the mattress. Wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth. Note:
Blood and other body fluids must be thoroughly cleaned from all surfaces before applying
disinfectants.
2. Apply any EPA approved disinfectant to the external surfaces of the Control Unit, hoses and
mattress. Allow contact time according to manufacturers instructions. The solution contact time is
what makes disinfection effective.
3. Wipe down the mattress with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess disinfectant.
4. Top sheets of mattress may also be laundered between patient uses or as required to maintain
good patient hygiene. Fill the washing machine with warm water (70 -140 °F or 21 - 60 °C). Add
one cup of laundry detergent. Place no more than four top sheets in a single extra large load
capacity washing machine. When wash cycle is complete, remove promptly from machine and
ensure all excess water is drained from load. Place dryer on LOWEST heat setting, or AIR FLUFF
if available until dry. Verify top sheet is completely dry before placing under patient.
5. If individual air cells of mattress become soiled, clean and disinfect as described above or simply
replace air cell with a clean replacement. Single air cell replacement can be successfully achieved
with patient remaining on the mattress.
13.2 Storage
Control Unit
1. Check the AC power cord and plug for abrasions or excessive wear. Replace if necessary.
2. Coil power cord up and place both cord and Control Unit in plastic bag for storage.
Mattress
1. Check the air manifold of the mattress for kinks or breaks. Replace if necessary.
2. To deflate, disconnect hose assembly from Control Unit.
3. Coil the hose assembly loosely and roll the deflated air mattress starting at the head end.
Use the straps for containment. Place in plastic bag for storage.

and/or clean intake air filter on the control unit.
Make certain the power receptacle has power, and the light on the
front panel is illuminated and the patient comfort setting is 1 or
greater.
