13.  Cleaning and Decontamination 

 

The following processes are recommended, but should be adapted to comply with the local or 

national guidelines (Decontamination of Medical Devices) which may apply within the Healthcare 

Facility of use.  

 

The Tamora Plus II system should be routinely decontaminated between patients and at regular 

intervals while in use; as is good practice for all reusable medical devices. 
 
 

 

 

Warning: Disconnect the power unit from the electricity supply before carrying out 
cleaning/decontamination procedures. 

 

Do not immerse or soak power unit. 

 

13.1  Basic cleaning information 

 

 

 

Caution: Only use disinfectants designed for cleaning healthcare equipment i.e. 
Sodium Hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000 ppm available chlorine).

 

 

 

 

Caution: Do not use abrasives (scouring powder), scourers or other 
materials/agents which could damage the mattress system. 

 

Caution: Do not use sodium carbonate or phenol based solutions. 

 

 

Caution: Do not use fabric softener or non-biological washing detergent. 

 

Caution: Do not immerse the power unit in water. 

 

 

 

Caution: When cleaning/disinfecting, ensure that only a damp cloth is used.

 

 

Caution: After cleaning, dry the mattress out of direct exposure to sunlight. 

 

 

 

Caution: Using inappropriate detergents or disinfectants and not observing the 
manufacturer’s guidelines may result in damage to the mattress which Ultimate 
Healthcare cannot be held liable for.

 

 

 

 

Caution: The appropriate qualified staff must be consulted when specifying a 
suitable cleaning fluid. Ultimate Healthcare shall not be liable for any damages 
caused by the use of inappropriate detergents or disinfectants.

 

 
 

13.2  Mattress and cover disinfection 

 

The Tamora Plus II mattress, mattress cover and air pipe cover can be cleaned using the following 

simple procedures in accordance with your Local Infection Control Policy: 

 

 

Liberally swabbing with a damp cloth pre-soaked with hot water at 84°C containing detergent, 

and then drying. 

 

Swabbing with a solution of sodium hypochlorite (up to 10,000 parts per million available 

chlorine) and then drying. 

 

 

 

Caution: Frequent or prolonged exposure to higher concentration disinfectant 
solutions may prematurely age the fabric cover of mattresses. Surfaces must be 
protected during use and rinsed and thoroughly dried after application of a 
disinfectant.
