GENERAL USE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Check whether the mattress is a replacement or an overlay.
- If it is a replacement mattress it should be placed directly on to the bed frame
- If it is a mattress overlay it should be placed on top of the existing mattress.
Check that the safe working load of the mattress is suitable for the intended user.
Do not exceed the max patient weight of the mattress (see page 5).
Ensure that the Risk Factor is suitable for the intended user. To help prevent pressure damage
it is important that patients reposition themselves, or are repositioned regularly.
Mattresses are delivered in plastic covers for protection; these covers must be removed
before use.
With the exception of bed sheets avoid using any additional covers/padding between the
patient and the support surface, as this may affect its pressure reducing qualities.
INTENDED PURPOSE
Harvest Healthcare static mattresses are designed for patients at risk of pressure injury,
or who have already developed pressure injuries. The foam surface redistributes pressure,
aiming to reduce capillary closure in high risk areas such as the heels and sacrum. The
mattress range overview (see page 3) supports identifying the most appropriate Harvest
Healthcare static mattress for an individual patient, giving ranges for patient risk levels and
maximum patient weights. These are provided as a guide to support appropriate mattress
choice, but all individuals should be risk assessed by a trained professional as individual
circumstances may alter mattress choices.
Never use a mattress with a lower risk category than that assigned to the service user by a
trained professional.
Never exceed the maximum patient weight for a mattress.
Misuse of the mattress could lead to the development of pressure injury.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS/MATTRESS INSPECTION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Mattresses should be checked regularly to ensure they remain ‘t for purpose’, clinically
effective and pose no risk of infection to either the patient or the carer.
Harvest Healthcare Ltd recommend that a thorough inspection of both the interior (foamcore)
and exterior (cover) of the mattress is carried out weekly, or each time a new patient is placed
on the mattress. Visual checks should be carried out daily to identify any signicant signs of
damage or infection risk.
If any signs of contamination are identied on the cover, the mattress should be withdrawn
from use immediately and the cover replaced. If the foam and/or the cover are showing signs
of contamination or excessive wear the mattress should be removed from use immediately
and the entire mattress replaced. Signs of excessive wear may include, but are not restricted
to, thinning, discolouration, tearing, fraying, misshaping and uid ingress.
Facial contact with any covering material such as that used on this
product can cause suffocation and a Risk Assessment should be
done prior to the use of this product.

E[email protected] www.harvesthealthcare.co.uk 7
GENERAL USE
MATTRESS CLEANING AND CARE
Mattresses are fully encased in a protective waterproof, multi-stretch PU cover to prevent
uid ingress from damaging the foam core. The mattress cover should be cleaned regularly in
accordance with your organisation’s disinfection protocol.
For full cleaning procedures for our mattresses see page 8.
MOVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE
Where possible, mattresses should be stacked at and transported on a bed base.
Mattresses should be handled by two people, one at either end of the mattress.
Store mattresses in a temperate, dry environment. Do not expose to high humidity or heat.
Do not drag or pull mattresses by the cover.
SAFE USE
The length, width and height of the mattress should be checked to ensure that these
dimensions are within the limits specied by the bed manufacturer and do not introduce gaps
that could increase the risk of entrapment.
Before and during use of mattress overlays with bed rails, consider the reduction in the
effective height of the bed rail relative to the top of the mattress may allow the occupant to
roll over the top of it; extra height bed rails may be required. The hazard of entrapment in the
vertical gap between the side of the mattress and the bed rail may be exacerbated due to the
soft, easily compressible nature of the overlay and/or mattress edge. If the standard mattress
is replaced with a lightweight foam mattress, third party bed rail assemblies (including the
mattress and bed occupant) can tip off the bed when the bed occupant rolls against the bed
rail. This is because many third-party bed rails rely on the weight of a standard mattress to
hold the assembly in place.
If the mattress is on a bed which is proled it may not be a suitable surface for CPR. In this
case, put the service user on the oor to perform CPR.

CLEANING & CARE
MATTRESS COVER
During general use the mattress can be cleaned by wiping with a mild detergent solution.
Where necessary the mattress cover can be removed for laundering or sterilisation. Where
there is staining or body uids on the mattress, wash thoroughly with soap and water, then
wipe with a sodium hypochlorite solution diluted to 1000ppm before laundering.
Mattress covers may be laundered as follows:
1Pre wash cold 10 minutes
2Main wash 80°C 10 minutes
3Followed by cold rinses and extraction.
WARNING
Eye protection, gloves and protective clothing should be worn when carrying out cleaning
and disinfection procedures.
When disinfecting the system, Harvest Healthcare recommends the following guidelines
which have been developed to comply with recognised infection control procedures.
These procedures are also to be used to prevent cross infection when transferring the
system between patients.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, phenol disinfectants, solvents or alcohol-based
cleansers, e.g. Dettol, Phenicol, Hibiscrub, Clearsol, Stericol, Hycoline, as these
will damage the cover materials.
Do not iron.
Ensure that the mattress is thoroughly dried before remaking the bed or placing
in storage.
HYPERCARBONATE AND PHENOL-BASED SOLUTIONS SHOULD NOT
BE USED AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE MATTRESS COVER
DISPOSAL
If contaminated, please dispose of as clinical waste.
If not contaminated dispose of as household waste at your local approved facility.
Note:
Please report any serious incident related to this device to Harvest Healthcare.
