of damage that may lead to strike-through (ingress of fluid through cover). This
is achieved by unzipping the top cover and looking for signs of staining to the
white underside. Any evidence of strike-through (and/or cover damage) will
require a new cover to be fitted to the system.
Warning
The cover must not be used if strike-through is evident – Risk of
cross infection.

disinfectant solutions may prematurely age the fabric cover of the
mattress.
