Supervision is advisable if the top edge of the side rail is less than 22 cm above the mattress.
It is recommended that when the patient is left unattended the bed be left in the lowest position.
Failure to properly assess the fit of the NP150 mattress and bed frames could result in the risk of entrapment which may cause serious injury or death.
  If necessary, place a plate between the patient and the mattress when performing cardio-pulmonary reanimation (external heart massage).
Transferring the Mattress from one Bed to Another
Hillrom NP150 Viscoelastic High Resilience Foam Mattress - Icon
16 Never leave the patient on the mattress during transfer.
Make sure that the bed chassis brakes are applied to prevent any accidental movements.
If the mattress has handles, use them to transfer the mattress more easily.
While handling the mattress, all necessary precautions must be taken to avoid any damage.
Do not work on the device when it is occupied.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection are two separate procedures.
Safety Recommendations

  • Check that the brakes are applied on the bed on which the mattress is installed.
  • Lock out all electrical functions.
  • Never clean the mattress by pouring water on it, nor with a high-pressure jet.
  • Never use water at a temperature of more than 70°C.
  • Refer to the recommendations for the cleaning and disinfecting of the product provided by the manufacturer.
  • Thoroughly dry the mattress before reusing it.
  • Suitable individual protective equipment must be worn during the phases of the cleaning operation (blouse, gloves, eye protection, etc.).

Failure to implement one or more of these recommendations may lead to damage or deterioration, preventing the use of the device and rendering the warranty void.
Infection Control

Insufficient cleaning = risk of infection (biological danger)!

All parts must be kept clean at all times in order to avoid the risk of infection. All necessary precautions must be taken to remove all visible stains and soiling.
Hillrom NP150 Viscoelastic High Resilience Foam Mattress - Icon
16 The following recommendations are not designed to replace more appropriate cleaning and disinfection protocols drawn up by the hygiene officer or by other bodies of your hospital for particular infection situations.
General Recommendations
The cleaning and disinfecting method described below applies specifically to this device and all its accessories and is designed to save time and help combat nosocomial infections more effectively.
Hillrom NP150 Viscoelastic High Resilience Foam Mattress - Icon
16 Hill-Rom recommends that the NP150 mattress be disinfected prior to first use.
When cleaning, always check the cover for cuts, tears, cracks or snags. Never use a mattress with a damaged cover.
If the internal foam of the mattress is soiled and presents a risk of infection, you are advised to replace it.
Following other cleaning and disinfection protocols or using other products than those recommended by Hill-Rom may compromise devices and patient safety, and void the warranty.
De-commissioning
Hill-Rom recommends that the mattress should be disinfected before de- commissioning. Customers should adhere to all federal, state, regional, and/or local laws and regulations as it pertains to the safe disposal of medical devices and accessories. If in doubt, the user of the device shall first contact Hill-Rom Technical Support for guidance on safe disposal protocols.
Products To Be Avoided

Never use cleaning agents, detergents, degreasing agents or industrial solvents containing any of the following products in order to avoid damaging the mattress:

| Phenol| | Cresol
---|---|---|---
| Hydrochloric
Nitric or Sulfuric Acids| | Soda
| Dimethylformamide| | Tetra hydrofu ra n

Do not use highly acidic detergents or disinfectants (pH<4).
Do not use highly basic detergents or disinfectants (pH>10).
Never use abrasive cleaning materials or products, such as scouring pads.
Cleaning and Disinfection after the Departure of a Patient or when Changing the Sheets
Recommended cleaning products
Terralin® Protect (Schülke) 1
Concentration: 5 ml/l (=0.5%), contact time: 1h.
Cleaning
Clean the mattress with a cloth slightly dampened with hot water and a neutral detergent solution.
Check that the solution does not contain any of the products to be avoided mentioned above.
Cleaning Tough Stains

Quickly wipe away any traces of pharmaceutical solutions used for the patients to avoid permanent damage to the surface.

  • Remove tough stains with a soft brush and neutral detergents or a chlorine-based solution with a concentration less than or equal to 1,000 ppm or 10,000 ppm according to labeling.
  • To eliminate hardened stains (excreta, and other forms of soiling), soften them by soaking them and take care to thoroughly dry the cover before putting it back on the mattress.

Disinfection
In the event of visible soiling, Hill-Rom recommends that the mattress should be disinfected with an intermediate disinfectant (tuberculocidal) that complies with the applicable regulations (e.g. with the requirements of regulation 2017/745/EEC). For all other disinfectants:

| Chlorine-based solutions can be used. Concentration must be less than or equal to 1,000 ppm.
---|---
| Chlorine-based solutions can be used. Concentration must be less than or equal to a 10,000 ppm
| Ethanol (alcohol) can be used. Concentration must not exceed ¼ of ethanol for ¾ of water.

a. Authorized concentration on the mattress ASS004XT
Proceed with the final steps before reusing the cleaned and disinfected mattress (See “Reinstalling the cover”, page 3).
Cleaning and Disinfecting at Regular Intervals or in the Event of High Risk of Contamination
Follow the same instructions as above (See “Cleaning and Disinfection after the Departure of a Patient or when Changing the Sheets”, page 2), but with the products listed  below.
Using the Recommended Products
After the departure of patients with infectious diseases:
• Dismozon® Pur (Bode)
Concentration: 40 g/l (= 4%), contact time: 1 h
After the departure of patients with Clostridium Difficile:

  • Dismozon® Pur
    Concentration: 15 g/l (= 1.5%), contact time: 2 h

  • Anioxy-Spray WS (Anios)
    Ready to use, contact time: 30 min

Dry Steam Cleaning the Mattress
Dry steam or superheated steam contains no more than 6% of water in suspension and avoids the effects of condensation.
To avoid damage due to high pressure or an abnormal surface temperature, take the following precautions:

  • Do not use accessories such as high-pressure hoses (A). It is preferable to use soft non-metallic brushes (B) and wipers (C) in such a way as to reduce the pressure to an acceptable level.

  • Do not brush on areas with labels and markings; use reduced pressure.

  • Carefully dry and check for water penetration before reuse.

Hill-Rom recommends the use of the Sanivap method®:

  • Application time recommended by the supplier: approximately 1 sec.
  • Distance (recommended by the supplier) between the source and the surface to be disinfected: approximately 3 mm.
  • Application: exterior parts of the mattress (covers).
  • Frequency: on each change of patient.

Machine Washing the Mattress Cover
Do not always machine-wash, as doing so will reduce the lifetime of the components. Resort to machine-wash only if particular risks of infection occur.
Maximum temperature: 70°C Delicates
Only clean with oxygenated agents
  Do not iron
 Do not dry clean
Can be tumble dried
Moderate temperatures: 50° C
Reinstalling the cover
