Transferring the Mattress from one Bed to
Another
Never leave the patient on the mattress during transfer.
Make sure that the bed chassis brakes are applied to prevent
any accidental movements.
If the mattress has handles, use them to transfer the mattress
more easily.
While handling the mattress, all necessary precautions must
be taken to avoid any damage.

Cleaning and Disinfecting

Cleaning and disinfection are two separate procedures.
Complying with Safety Instructions
• Check that the brakes are applied on the bed on which the
mattress is installed.
• Lock out all electric functions.
• Never clean the mattress by pouring water on it, nor with a
high-pressure jet.
• Never use water at a temperature of more than 70°C.
• Refer to the recommendations of the cleaning and
disinfecting of the product provided by the manufacturer.
• Thoroughly dry the mattress before reusing it.
• Suitable individual protective equipment must be worn
during the steps of the cleaning operation (blouse, gloves,
eye protection, etc.).
Failure to implement one or more of these
recommendations may lead to damage or deterioration,
preventing use of the device and rendering the warranty
void.
Controlling Infection
Insufficient Cleaning = Risk of Infection
(biological danger)!
All parts must be kept clean at all times in order to avoid the
risk of infection. All necessary precautions must be taken to
eliminate all visible soiling.
The following recommendations are not designed to
replace cleaning and disinfection protocols drawn up by
the hygien officer or by other bodies for your hospital in
the event of particular infectious situations.
Complying with Manufacturer Recommendations
The cleaning and disinfecting method described below applies
specifically to the mattress and its accessories and is
designed to save time and to help combat nosocomial
infection more effectively.
Hill-Rom recommends that the mattress be disinfected
before first use.
When cleaning, always check the cover for cuts, tears,
cracks or snags; never use a mattress with a damaged
cover.
If the internal foam of the mattress is soiled and presents
a risk of infection, then replace the mattress.
Following other cleaning and disinfection protocols or
using other products than those recommended by
Hill-Rom may compromise devices and patient safety,
and void the warranty.
