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.
Do not work on the device when it is occupied.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection are two separate procedures.
Safety Recommendations
•
Check that the brakes are applied on the bed on which the
mattress is installed.
•
Lock out all electrical 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.
•

disinfecting of the product provided by the manufacturer.
•
Thoroughly dry the mattress before reusing it.
•
Suitable individual protective equipment must be worn
during the phases 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.
Infection Control
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
remove all visible stains and soiling.
The following recommendations are not designed to
replace more appropriate cleaning and disinfection
protocols drawn up by the hygien officer or by other
bodies of your hospital for particular infection situations.
General Recommendations
The cleaning and disinfecting method described below applies
specifically to this device and all its accessories and is
designed to save time and to help combat nosocomial
infections more effectively.
Hill-Rom recommends that the NP150 mattress be
disinfected prior to 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, you are advised to replace it.
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.
De-commissioning
Hill-Rom recommends that the mattress should be disinfected
before de-commissioning.
Customers should adhere to all federal, state, regional, and/or
local laws and regulations as it pertains to the safe disposal of
medical devices and accessories. If in doubt, the user of the
