Do not use Alkalis or other organic solvents for routine cleaning. Replace torn or damaged vinyl immediately. Always cover vinyl with fresh paper or sheet between patients. If contamination is known or suspected always decontaminate couch before use. Do not saturate hinge pin location and it is essential to ensure that they are dry before re-use. Disconnect any mains supply. Do not allow the mains plug or power supply cord to get wet.
Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads during the decontamination process as these will damage the surface coating. Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during the cleaning process.
Cleaning / Decontamination Frequency of routine couch cleaning will depend on exact application, local policy and contamination status.
To clean Clean all exposed surfaces and remove any organic debris by wiping with a cloth moistened with a simple (neutral) detergent and water. Chemical Disinfection We recommend a chlorine-releasing agent, such as sodium hypochlorite, at a strength of 1,000ppm available chlorine (this may vary from 250ppm to 10,000ppm depending on local policy and contamination status). Use low strength solution for upholstery. 17
Wipe all cleaned surfaces with the solution, then wipe with a cloth moistened with water and dry thoroughly. Alcohol based disinfectants (maximum strength 70%) may be used as an alternative.
