14.3 Disinfection
Disinfection will only be effective if the bed has been cleaned beforehand.
Only suitable disinfectants equivalent to the disinfectants described in Annex 1 to EN 12720
Part 1 or the agents in the list drawn up by the German Society of Hygiene and Microbiology or
the Robert Koch Institute may be used. The disinfectant should be used (e.g. concentration)
precisely as specified by the respective disinfectant manufacturer.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of a given disinfectant, please contact us.
14.4 Special information regarding real wood parts
We have used materials of the highest quality to create a product for you with a high level
of benefits and homely real wood character. Slight differences in shade, contrast and color
between veneer surfaces, solid wood parts or decorative surfaces (melamine, HPL), as well
as anything showing up in real wood materials as a result of the growth process, do not count
as defects.
Varnished real wood parts (profiles at the head and foot ends) need to be cleaned/disinfected
with special care as they are very sensitive to moisture. No moisture may be left on these
surfaces or this may damage the varnish and wood.
14.5 Recommended cleaning/disinfection intervals
Daily cleaning
We recommend that you clean all parts of the bed that are frequently touched by the resident
or staff (e.g. siderails, bed ends, handsets, lifting pole, etc.).
Cleaning at resident change
We recommend that you completely clean and disinfect all parts of the bed that are frequently
touched by the resident or staff (see daily cleaning), patient surface, columns, undercarriage
shelters and mattress.
Complete cleaning/cleaning before first use
We recommend that you clean the bed completely before it first use and then at least once
every 4 to 8 weeks.
Removing spilled liquids
Spills should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Always disconnect the bed from the mains
before cleaning up spills. Some liquids used in healthcare can cause permanent stains.
