OPERATION

TENTE® CASTERS
WARNING: Casters must be locked at all times EXCEPT during transport. All Lumex Clinical Care Recliners now feature the latest design, all-plastic casters from TENTE, shown at right. Specifically designed for use in healthcare environments, the new casters are easier to clean, easier to move, and tolerate a wide array of cleaners and chemicals. Each caster is made from high-grade synthetic materials and features a double-ball bearing swivel head. The wheel center is made of polypropylene and the tire tread of TENTEprene (thermoplastic rubber). The gray non-marking tires feature precision ball bearings.

Models FR601P / FR601PH / FR601PHO / FR601U / FR601UH / FR601UHO

To Achieve Second Position / First Recline Position:

• Reclining by patient: Place hands on armrests and push body against recliner back to recline yourself to desired position. To bring yourself up, place hands on armrests and pull yourself up while leaning your body forward, away from the recliner back, while at the same time pushing down evenly on the footrest with your legs.
• Reclining by caregiver: Standing on either side of the recliner, grasp the armrest with one hand and the push handle with the other hand. Push back on push handle to recline. To return, grasp push handle and pull forward to raise the recliner’s back.

NOTICE: DO NOT use the footrest by itself to return the recliner to an upright position from any recline position. Doing so may damage the recliner mechanism. Follow the instructions above to operate the recliner.

Third Position (Second Recline Position)

• The third position is the Second Recline Position and is also known as the “Full Recline” position.
• This position is ideal for patient treatment, rest and reading.

To Achieve Third Position / Second Recline Position:

• Reclining by patient: From the First Recline Position, continue to push against the back by placing your hands on armrests and continue to recline yourself to the Second Recline Position. To bring yourself up, place hands on armrest and pull yourself up while leaning your body forward away from the recliner back while at the same time pushing down evenly on the footrest with your legs.

1. INSPECTION : Perform the following checks. If a working recliner of the same model is available, use it for comparison.
   a) Is the AC cord properly connected to the power supply? Is the cable from the power supply to the control module junction box in place?
   b) With the power supply AC cord plugged into a live AC outlet, does the small light to the left of the white seat symbol (located on the switch) light up when the switch is pressed repeatedly or is there any indication of massage operation?
   WARNING : Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before performing the following steps!
   c) Is there any sign of external damage to the handheld pendant or wire?
   d) Is there any sign of external damage to the recliner?

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Inspect all components periodically and replace as needed.
EVERY THREE MONTHS

• Check and clean casters.
• Tighten bolts in each leg that secure caster into frame.
• Check caster brakes.
• Check and clean lock recline mechanism.
• Check recliner mechanism for operation in all positions, including Trendelenburg Position, with assistant seated in recliner.

UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE AND STAIN REMOVAL
We recommend cleaning at least once a week to extend the lifespan of the upholstery. This prevents dirt and other contaminants from building up and stains from becoming permanent. If there is a spill, wipe off any excess right away with a dry cloth, making sure not to spread it all over the surface.

• Clean the whole surface in circular motions using liquid hand soap (pH neutral) and water (1 part soap to 9 parts water). Wipe with a clean damp cloth to get rid of any excess soap.
• Repeat as needed and then let dry.

For Guardian, Patriot Plus, Renaissance and Savoy fabrics only
If there is any build-up that can’t be removed with soapy water, then use this as a last resort.
Mixture: 1 part isopropyl alcohol to 1 part water.
Info: Using alcohol on a regular basis can affect the properties of the product.

• Once a month, you can use a soft-bristle brush for a deeper cleaning.

Info: Light colors need more care, more often.
Info: The cleaning products recommended were used in a laboratory setting. Spradling Group® has no relationship with the manufacturers of those cleaning products.

Color Transfer
Certain clothing and accessory dyes (such as those used on denim jeans) may migrate to lighter colors. This phenomenon is increased by humidity and temperature and is irreversible.
Check compatibility when using this product in combination with painted or varnished surfaces.

Disinfectants
In addition to cleaning, healthcare facilities maintain disinfecting regimens to reduce the spread of infections. There is a wide variety of available biocides that include bleaches, peroxides and quaternary ammonium products, among others. They should always be used at the recommended dilution, never in concentrated form. To prolong the life of coated fabrics, the disinfectants should be rinsed off after each use.

Info : Misuse of disinfectants is the major source of surface deterioration. Spradling International,
Inc.® continually evaluates cleaners/disinfectants, and a list of those tested can be found on their website.
Abrasion test results exceeding ACT Performance Guidelines are not an indicator of product lifespan. Multiple factors affect fabric durability and appearance retention.
This information is not a guarantee and does not relieve the user from the responsibility of the proper and safe use of the product and all cleaning agents. The use of certain agents can be harmful to the surface appearance and lifespan of vinyl. Spradling, its agents, and assignees assume no responsibility resulting from the use of such cleaning agents to the vinyl.
Check compatibility when using this product in combination with painted or varnished surfaces.

CDC RECOMMENDATIONS
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SURFACES IN PATIENTCARE AREAS FOR VINYL UPHOLSTERY, WALL COVERINGS AND FLOORING

• Select EPA-registered disinfectants, if available, and use them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not use high-level disinfectants / liquid chemical sterilants for disinfection of either noncritical instruments and devices or any environmental surfaces; such use is counter to label instructions for these toxic chemicals.
• Follow manufacturers’ instructions for cleaning and maintaining noncritical medical equipment.
• In the absence of a manufacturer’s cleaning instructions, follow certain procedures:
  • Clean noncritical medical equipment surfaces with a detergent / disinfectant.
  • Do not use alcohol to disinfect large environmental surfaces.
  • Use barrier protective coverings as appropriate for noncritical surfaces that are:
  • Touched frequently with gloved hands during the delivery of patient care.
  • Likely to become contaminated with blood or body substances.
  • Difficult to clean (e.g., computer keyboards).
• Keep housekeeping surfaces (e.g., floors, walls, tabletops) visibly clean on a regular basis and clean up spills promptly.
• Use a one-step process and an EPA-registered hospital detergent / disinfectant designed for general housekeeping purposes in patient-care areas where:
  • Uncertainty exists as to the nature of the soil on the surfaces (whether it is blood or body fluid or just normal dust or dirt).
  • Uncertainty exists regarding the presence of multi drug resistant organisms on such surfaces.
• Detergent and water are adequate for cleaning surfaces in nonpatient-care areas (e.g., administrative offices). Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces on a more frequent schedule than minimal-touch housekeeping surfaces. Clean walls, blinds, and window curtains in patientcare areas when they are visibly dusty or soiled.
• Do not perform disinfectant fogging in patient-care areas.
• Avoid large-surface cleaning methods that produce mists or aerosols, or disperse dust in patient-care areas.
• Follow proper procedures for effective uses of mops, cloths, and solutions.
  • Prepare cleaning solutions daily or as needed, and replace with fresh solution frequently according to facility policies and procedures.
  • Change the mop head at the beginning of each day and also as required by facility policy, or after cleaning up large spills of blood or other body substances.
  • Clean mops and cloths after use and allow to dry before reuse; or use single-use, disposable mop heads and cloths.
• When performing low- or intermediate-level disinfection of environmental surfaces in nurseries and neonatal units, avoid unnecessary exposure of neonates to disinfectant residues on these surfaces by using EPA-registered germicides in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and safety advisories.
