existing bed slats or bed base.

faces along the sides of the bed base must be at least 13 cm (5.1") wide.

Disinfection methods and cleaning information
Mattress
The washable covers are easy to remove thanks to an integrated zip.
Jersey cover (fabric cover)
• washable at 65 °C (149 °F) • suitable for tumble dryers
Incontinence cover (rubberised cover)
• washable at 65 °C (149 °F) • suitable for tumble dryers• to be cleaned by wiping desinfection
Disinfection
We recommend two disinfection methods accepted by the Robert Koch Institute:
- the vacuum/steam/vacuum method up to a maximum temperature of 110 °C (230 °F)
- the steam flow method up to a temperature of 110 °C (230 °F)
Important hint: A thermal treatment over 110 °C (230 °F) causes a premature ageing and deformation of the plastic
parts and should therefore be avoided. Please make sure when using chemical disinfectants that they
are suitable for plastic.
Application risks and contraindications
ThevoVital is designed to improve quality of sleep, especially for people with dementia.
The mattress is quite firm. Skin condition should be checked regularly with persons suffering illnesses affecting the skin
properties. This particularly applies to immobile patients. The correct mattress density is extremely important in such
cases.
The use of ThevoVital does not require any special instructions. Referring to the previous practical use and several tests
executed, we are not knowlegdeable of any problem in the use of this product.
When used properly, risks can be excluded.
