Understanding the Symbols

Before Placing the Patient on the Mattress
Remove the NP100 mattress from its polyethylene packaging. Take care not to damage the mattress with scissors or cutters. Check that the zip fastener is fully closed.
Store the mattress at ambient temperature (18 to 20°C) for at least 24 hours.
Make sure that the mattress is correctly installed and well centered on the sleep surface. Cover the mattress with a sheet to avoid direct contact between the patient’s skin and the surface of the mattress.

Complying with Conditions for Use

• Supervision is advisable if the top edge of the siderail 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 NP100 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

• 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 Disinfecting

Cleaning and disinfection are two separate procedures.
Complying with Safety Instructions

• Check that the brakes are applied on the bed on which the mattress is installed.
• Lock out all electric 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 of 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 steps 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 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 eliminate all visible soiling.
The following recommendations are not designed to replace cleaning and disinfection protocols drawn up by the hygiene officer or by other bodies for your hospital in the event of particular infectious situations.

Complying with Manufacturer Recommendations

• The cleaning and disinfecting method described below applies specifically to the mattress and its accessories and is designed to save time and to help combat nosocomial infection more effectively.
  Hill-Rom recommends that the mattress be disinfected before 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, then replace the mattress.

• 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:
Do not use highly acidic detergents or disinfectants (pH<4). Do not use highly basic detergents or disinfectants (pH>10). Never use abrasive cleaning products or materials, such as scouring pads
Cleaning and Disinfecting after the Departure of a Patient or when Changing the Sheets Using Recommended Products Terralin® Protect (Schülke)1 Concentration: 5 ml/l (= 0.5%), contact time: 1 h.

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, other forms of soiling), soften them by soaking and take care to thoroughly dry the cover before putting it back on the mattress.

Disinfecting

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

Terralin® Protect is listed by the V.A.H (Verbund für Angewandte Hygiene e.V.).Proceed with the final steps before reusing the cleaned and disinfected mattress (See “Performing the Final Steps”, 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 Disinfecting after the Departure of a Patient or when Changing the Sheets”, page 2), but with the products listed below.

Using Recommended Products

After the departure of patients with infectious diseases:

• Dismozon® Pur (Bode)1
• 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 and apply reduced pressure to labels and markings.
• Dry carefully and look for signs of water ingress before reusing.

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: for each new patient

Machine Washing the Mattress Cover

Do not always machine-wash, as doing so will reduce the life time of the components. 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

When reassembling the cover after machine washing, make sure to match with the associated foam (See “Mattress / foam / cover combinations”, page 3).
Orientate properly the cover on the foam regarding the marking located on the foam in the feet area toward the top.

Mattress / foam / cover combinations
