Cleaning & Maintenance - Jay ROHO DRY FLOATATION Handbuch

ENGLISH
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING YOUR
ROHO DRY FLOATATION® INSERT
Cleaning and disinfecting are two separate processes. Cleaning
must precede disinfection.
CLEANING THE DRY FLOATATION® INSERT
To clean the DRY FLOATATION® insert, gently pull it out of
the recess in the foam base, taking care to gently pull the
valve through the foam. Deflate the cushion, close the valve(s)
and place in a large sink. Gently scrub the air cells and the
spaces between them with a soft plastic bristle brush, sponge
or washcloth. Liquid dishwashing or laundry detergent or other
general-purpose cleaning product is suggested.
Spray and wipe disinfection is also possible for the
ROHO Air element and the positioning elements.
For institutional cleaning, a general housekeeping disinfectant
cleaner may be used.
DISINFECTING THE DRY FLOATATION® INSERT
To disinfect the DRY FLOATATION® Insert, use a germicidal
product that meets infection control needs. A disinfectant
with tuberculocidal properties is recommended. Follow the
manufacturer's dilution directions. For home disinfection, use
solutions of approximately 1/2 cup liquid household bleach
per quart of water (125 ml bleach to 1 liter of water). Keep the
clean cushion wet with bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Disinfectants are not effective on porous surfaces, such as
foam, if the cushion becomes soiled or contaminated. DO NOT
use with multiple users.
CAUTION
Do not use oil-based lotions or lanolin on your cushion as they
may compromise the integrity of the neoprene rubber.
• If local protocol requires sterilization, please consult
the instruction table at the end of this manual to learn
more about recommended sterilisation methods.
• The cushion cover may be washed at 80°C for
10 minutes and may be tumble dried, but we
recommend cleaning the cover by using the shortest
time and the lowest temperature allowed by local
protocol to sterilise the cover.
BALANCE ROHO Rev.4.0
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
RE-USE
This JAY cushion is designed to be re-used. The frequency of
re-use depends largely on the way the cushion has been used
previously. It is essential that the cushion is properly cleaned
before re-use (see section "Cleaning and disinfecting of your
Roho Dry Floatation insert").
REPAIRS
Each Balance Cushion with a Dry Floation® insert is shipped
complete with a repair kit and instructions for minor repairs. The
following information can be used if repair instructions have
been lost or misplaced.
If a leak occurs
1. Place your cushion cells down and over-inflate until all
four corners touch.
2. Immerse the over-inflated cushion in water to locate the
leak.
3. Once the leak has been located, mark the leak by
inserting a toothpick into the hole
4. Allow the cushion to dry thoroughly.
5. Remove the toothpick, and clean the area around the hole
with the alcohol wipe provided. Let the surface dry.
6. Peel the backing from the patch provided and, centering
the patch, place it over the hole.
7. Press the patch down firmly until a good seal is achieved.
8. The cushion is now ready for use. Adjust the cushion for
proper inflation following the instructions in this manual.
Although patches do not change the performance of the
cushion, they should be monitored periodically to ensure
effectiveness in addressing the leak. If the patch is not
successful in addressing the problem, or if more extensive
damage is present, please contact your supplier immediately.
CAUTION
Do not remove an inflation valve by holding the cushion and
pulling the valve, doing so may tear the cushion.
Replacing Valves:
1. Firmly grip the rubber valve stem and remove the old
inflation valve by using pliers.
2. Moisten the ribbed end of the replacement valve and insert
it into the valve stem until the rubber is snug to the body of
the valve.
