Air Mattress:
WARNING:
To prevent damage, please remove the Auto Fowler sensor from the base of the mattress before laundering. The Auto
Fowler sensor is located in a small pocket inside the base of the mattress located on the patient’s right hand side, 30 - 38
cm from the head end of the mattress.
Wear eye goggles and protective gloves before starting the cleaning procedure.
Follow steps 2 through 4 above to prepare disinfectant solution.
Using a damp cloth, wipe down the air cushions and the mattress base. Once the air cushions and the base are
clean, wipe them down with a dry cloth.
Air cushions should be washed periodically; top sheet will require more frequent washing. Set wash cycle to “heavy
load” with warm water. Once the water is full, add manufacturer- suggested quantity of laundry detergent and/ or
standard hospital disinfectants. If the air cushions or the top sheet becomes soiled with human waste or blood, clean
immediately by wiping down. Use hospital recommended laundry detergent and/ or disinfectant per manufacturer’s
instructions. Note: Use non-chlorine bleach detergent.
Shake cushions gently to remove excess water from inside the air cushions. Dry the cushions/top sheet on the
lowest settings on the dryer until completely dry.
Leave the mattress to dry in a cool, dry area for an hour before using or storing. If the mattress is not used immedia-
tely, roll the mattress and insert it into a plastic bag and store it in a storage area.
After the cleaning operations are completed, remove and dispose the protective gloves appropriately. Wash your
hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap.
