Skin Care

Monitor skin conditions regularly, particularly in areas
where incontinence and drainage occur or collect.
Early intervention may be essential to preventing
serious skin breakdown.

Bed Height

To minimize the risks of falls or injury, the mattress
support platform should always be in the lowest
practical position when the patient is unattended.
Make sure areas under and around the frame are clear
of objects, persons, and parts of body before adjusting
height.

Cleaning

Warning: Unplug the control unit from its power
source. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
Warning: Do not expose the mattress or control unit to
excessive moisture that would allow for liquid pooling.
Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
Caution: Do not use harsh cleansers/detergents, such
as scouring pads and heavy-duty grease removers, or
solvents, such as acetone. Equipment damage could
occur.

General Cleaning

The P.R.O. Matt Plus system should be routinely
®
decontaminated between patients and at regular
intervals while in use for infection control.
If there is no visible soilage with possible body
fluids, we recommend that you clean the mattress
system with a mild detergent and warm water. If
disinfection is desired, you may use a combination
cleanser/disinfectant as explained in the "Disinfecting"
section in this manual.
1. Patient care equipment that does not come in
direct contact with the patient requires only low-
level disinfection. Wiping surfaces with a properly
prepared detergent/disinfectant carries out low-
level disinfecting.
2. Processing of dirty patient care equipment should
take place in a designated area away from clean
or sterile supplies and food preparation areas.
3. Detergent/disinfectants should not be mixed with
other germicides or detergents. Using the proper
dilution ensures the most effective killing power of
the disinfectant.
4. Patient care equipment that is used in isolation
areas should be disinfected in accordance with all
internal policies and procedures regarding such
equipment.

Disinfecting

When there is visible soilage, remove it and clean
the area prior to disinfecting. Clean and disinfect
the product between patient uses. We recommend
that you disinfect the unit and mattress with a
tuberculocidal disinfectant. Disinfectant should be
registered with the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
1. Use rubber gloves and eye protection
2. Prepare detergent/disinfectant (registered by EPA
as hospital disinfectant) solution according to
instructions on label for correct use-dilution
3. Thoroughly wipe down entire mattress
4. Remove gloves and dispose; wash hands
