Maintenance
1. Maintenance - Every Two Months
• Check all components, height adjustment
mechanisms, back rest and leg rest adjustments,
side rails, casters and brakes, head and foot
boards, Trendelenburg mechanism, and make
sure all plastic parts are tted and not broken.
• The mattress surface should be checked to see
that it is dry, without any remains of food, urine,
blood, etc.
• The mattress should be checked to ensure that it is
not torn or split and that it is not permitting urine to
leak through onto the mattress surface.
• Should any signs of corrosion be observed, the
manufacturer should be advised immediately in
order to obtain preventive instructions.
• Any defects should be repaired at once.
2. Maintenance - Six Month Check
• Repeat the checks carried out every two months.
• In addition, any chips, cracks or scratches on
the paintwork should be repaired/touched up
by paint brush in order to prevent the spread of
corrosion.
• Casters should be checked and accumulated
hair, etc. removed from inside the wheels. The
outside wheel cover should be opened and the
caster lightly greased with silicon based grease.
3. Maintenance - General
• It is recommended that all beds be numbered
and marked so that the maintenance operations
can be recorded for each bed in a card index.
• Use a lubricant on the moving parts to allow free
movement of sliding parts and help reduce noise.
Cleaning
• All bed parts may be cleaned by use of a soft
cloth or sponge, soap and water.
• Do NOT use agents containing chlorine or
solvents. Caution: In no circumstances should
a cleaning agent containing chlorine be used.
All chemical/solutions must be diluted to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. No chemical
or solution should be left to dry on the pad
surface. After the alloted time has passed to insure
disinfection, the pad surface should be wiped
again with a wet cloth to remove any remaining
chemical or solution. Aside from these restrictions,
there are no other limitations as to the type of
cleaning agent, or detergent which may be used,
or as to the water temperature.
• Warning: Do not submerge, sterilize or hose
down the mattress pad at any time. This could
result in damage to the mattress pad.
• Wait 10 – 15 minutes until the mattress surface is
completely dry before replacing the mattress.
• Ensure that traces of blood, urine, iodine, and food
waste is cleaned as soon as possible to prevent
any development of corrosion – particularly
underneath the mattress.
• Materials such as “Scotch–Brite”, steel wool
or similar abrasives, which may damage the
protective paint surface, should not be used.
• Cleaning of the mattress should be carried out
according to the instructions on the mattress care
label.
• After washing, stretchers should be placed at an
incline of at least 4 degrees for drying.
