Maintenance

Between patients, the mattress must be cleaned and disinfected with a detergent/disinfectant for surfaces/non-invasive medical equipment. Prepare use-solution in concentration required. Always read the label and product information before use. Do not mix with other products. Make sure to wet surfaces completely, use a wipe or towel, keep them wet for the whole exposure time.

In the event of a puncture, deflate the overlay and use the repair kit supplied with the overlay. Degrease the vinyl cover to assist adhesion.
