WARNING! To minimize the risk of fire, personal injury, and equipment/property damage,
adhere to the following instructions:
1. The product must only be used for its intended purpose as described in this manual. The
product may not be combined, assembled, or repaired with other parts, accessories or
spare parts other than those described in this manual or other documentation from Care

burning cigarettes or hot lamps. Although the product has undergone fire testing, it could
become damaged if it comes into contact with fire sources.
3. Position and use the product in a manner that prevents it from becoming trapped or
damaged. NOTE: Be particularly aware of trapping damage when using bed rails.
4. Always make sure the mattress has the right size.
5. The hygiene cover does not allow liquid or air to penetrate but is vapour permeable. Make
sure that the user is positioned correctly to avoid the risk of suffocation. Make sure to
continuously monitor users that need special supervision.
6. The mattresses are protected by a hygiene cover; avoid using multiple hygiene covers as
this can affect the vapor permeability of the mattress. It is also recommended to use a
bedsheet on the mattress.
7. Prevent damage to the hygiene cover from sharp objects.
8. Mattresses with the Evac cover have handles and velcro straps for evacuation. If the cover
has handles, they are intended for lifting the empty mattress. All other use is at your own

2Assembly and installation
When unpacking, check that no parts are damaged. If any damage is found, contact Care of
Sweden or your local distributor before using the product.
The following instructions apply to all the mattresses included in this instructions for use.
1. Remove the plastic bag and any protective material. Avoid using a knife when
opening the package, since this could damage the hygiene cover.
2. Always check that the mattress is correctly placed inside the cover, see label
on foam.
3. Correct the cover. Mattresses that are delivered with the divisible Evac
cover are packed with the top part folded inside the mattress. Lay out the
top part and close the zipper. Check that the mattress is the correct size for
the bed.
4. The mattress should lay unpacked, on a flat surface, for about 2 hours before
it is used. However, if needed, the mattress can be used immediately. It can
take up to one week before the mattress has resumed its full
width/length/height after the compression.
3Operation
When the steps in sections 2 have been performed, the mattress is ready to use.
3.1 Operation Evac cover
This section will only explain how to use the Evac cover. Refer to your local evacuation
routines to perform the whole evacuation safely.
Evac cover is a mattress cover with a built-in function for evacuation of bed-bound users.
The Evac cover is equipped with three handles on the head and foot end. On the sides, there
are handles with velcro straps. These straps are to be used to fixate the user to the mattress
before commencing the evacuation. The straps are folded in the protective pockets on the side
of the mattress with the ends sticking out to ensure that they are easy to pull out.
Operation
1. Pull out and fasten the Velcro straps so that the mattress forms a
tube around the user.
2. Use the outer handles at the foot end of the mattress and turn
the mattress out from the bed.
3. Slowly pull the user down on the floor.
4. Pull on the outer handles at the foot end of the mattress.
5. The user may now be moved, refer to local evacuation routines.
Note!
•If the velcro straps are not used, there is a risk of the user sliding/rolling down from
the mattress.
•Pulling at the foot end reduces the strain on the puller, meaning faster and safer
evacuation is possible.
•The arms of the user shall be inside of the velcro straps. This reduces the risk of the
user grabbing hold to something out of fear.

5Reuse and cleaning
The product is reusable. Before using the product again for a new user, it is recommended to
clean the product. Follow the instructions below for cleaning and reconditioning. Consult your
hygiene manager or Care of Sweden for help and instructions if you are unsure.
5.1 Mattress cover
Covers can be wiped off with a mild cleaning solution or disinfected with solution for
this purpose such as: alcohol with or without tensides, Isopropanol 70 %, oxidating
solutions or Chlorine max 1 %.
Excrement and blood spots must be removed immediately with cold water. Carefully follow
local instructions and usage instructions for the cleaning solutions.
Multi-layer covers should be divided before washing. Wash with similar colours.
If chlorine is used, we recommend a mixture of max 1 %.
5.2 Mattress core
The hygiene cover protects the foam core completely, which means cleaning seldom
is necessary. If, for any reason, the core needs to be cleaned, use a mild cleaning
solution and water (for example spray on). Press out the water carefully.
Let the foam core dry in a warm, ventilated area, without direct exposure of sunlight. The
foam core needs to be completely dry before it is used again. When needed, use a mild
cleaning solution or disinfect with solutions for this purpose such as: alcohol with or without
tensides, Isopropanol 70 %, oxidating solutions, or Chlorine max 1 %.
Carefully follow local instructions and usage instructions for the cleaning solutions.
Note!
•Check the hygiene cover every time it is being cleaned. If the cover is damaged, it is to
be replaced or repaired. If the product is equipped with an Evac-cover, handles and
straps also need to be check regularly. Follow the local instructions and the cleaning
agents’ instructions carefully.

6Storage
Store the mattress on a flat surface or carefully rolled/folded with the zipper closed. Always

exposed to thrusts, hits or other things that can damage it. Avoid direct exposure of sunlight. If
the mattress is to be stored more than 3 months, we recommend it is stored on a flat surface
