WARNING
−
To avoid risk of patient injury, disinfect the support surface between patients. Failure to do so could result in cross-
contamination and infection.
−
Some disinfectants may cause damage to the product if used improperly. If the products described below are used to
disinfect the support surface, measures must be taken to ensure the entire surface is wiped with a damp cloth soaked in
clean water and thoroughly dried following disinfection. The cover can be damaged when exposed to such disinfectants
beyond the manufacturers' recommendations. Failure to follow these directions when using these types of disinfectants
may void this product warranty.
−
To avoid the risk of equipment damage, the support surface cover must be completely dry before storage or adding
linens. Failure to remove excess disinfectant could cause degradation of the cover material.
