GENERAL CLEANING PROCEDURES
Jay LAL 1000 Series Standard Low Air Loss System
WARNING: Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet before
attempting to clean the Master Control Unit. Do not heat
or steam autoclave any component of the Jay Dermafloat
LAL 1000 System.
1.
Use rubber gloves and eye protection.
2.
Patient care equipment that does not come in contact with mucous
membranes or non-contact skin requires low-level disinfections.
Wiping surfaces with a detergent/disinfectant in its proper use-
dilution carries out low-level disinfections.
3.
Processing of dirty patient care equipment should take place in a
designated area away from clean or sterile supplies and food
preparation areas.
4.
Detergent/disinfectants should not be mixed with other germicides
or detergents. Using the proper dilution insures the most effective
killing power of the disinfectant.
5.
Wash hands often and well, including after removal of gloves,
paying particular attention to around and under fingernails and
between fingers.
6.
Prepare detergent/disinfectant (reg. by EPA as hospital disinfectant;
see page 13) solution according to instructions on label for correct
use-dilution. A basin or spray bottle (with product label) can be
used. Use a pump to dispense concentrate and fill receptacle with
tap water. If using a spray bottle, empty and rinse out spray bottle
at end of each day. A fresh preparation of detergent/disinfectant
must be prepared daily since the stability of the solution at greater
than 24 hours is unknown.
7.
With mattress air cushions deflated, thoroughly wipe down
individual air cushions on both sides. Allow to air dry.
