CLEANING, DISINFECTION AND CARE

Unit

• Before cleaning, disconnect the unit from the power supply. During cleaning, ensure that no liquids/ cleaning solutions come into contact with the plug.
• The unit should not be saturated or soaked.
• The unit may be cleaned by hand. To do this, use a moist (not wet) cloth and a mild household cleaning and disinfectant solution.
• Do not use any solutions which contain phenol or abrasive cleaners. This can corrode the surface of the unit.
• Allow the unit to dry thoroughly.
• Perform a function test after the device is thoroughly dry.

Mattress overlay system

The mattress overlay system should not be saturated or soaked*, however it can be cleaned by hand. To do this, use a moist (not wet) cloth and a mild standard cleaning and disinfectant solution.
* There is a risk of liquid getting into the cell chambers and hoses.

Cover

• The cover can be cleaned by hand. To do this, use a moist (not wet) cloth and a mild cleaning solution.
• You can detach the cover using the zipper and wash it at a max. temperature of 60° using a household detergent.
Note: If the Med Aire DuoWave is machine-washed and disinfected, a validated and automated method according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and/ or the Association for Applied Hygiene (VAH) is necessary.

STATIC FUNCTION

The Med Aire DuoWave has a static function as a standard feature. This is switched on using the "Static" button. The LED indicates that the static function is enabled. The air chambers all maintain the same pressure and ensure adjustable pressure-relief positioning. In static pressure-relief mode, the deepest point on the patient (buttock/hip area) should sink into the system to approximately halfway down the upper cell system (approx. 3-4 cm).

Note: Perform a hand check to verify; see hand check section.

The Med Aire DuoWave is placed on the existing mattress. Alternatively a 4- or 5-cm high foam pad can also be placed in the pouch provided.
• Take the Med Aire DuoWave alternating pressure system out of the packaging.
• Check the contents for completeness and any visible damage.
• Place the alternating pressure system on the mattress in the standard or hospital bed. The foot end is marked with 2 feet.
