• Always unplug the support surface power/data cable before you clean or disinfect.
• Do not immerse the support surface or foot box in cleaning or disinfectant solutions.
• Do not allow fluid to pool on the support surface. Fluids may cause degradation of components and may cause
unpredictable safety and performance of this product.
• Always inspect the support surface covers (top and bottom) for tears, punctures, excessive wear, and misaligned
zippers as you clean the covers. If the cover is compromised, remove the support surface from service immediately and
replace the cover to prevent cross-contamination.
