Indications for Use

The Meridian Medical ARUBA 42” Group 1 Multi Zone Therapeutic Foam Mattress is intended to be used with an appropriately sized bed frame as a part of an overall pressure injury prevention program. Any other use is prohibited.

This pressure redistribution mattress is designed to positively contribute to the outcome of a pressure injury prevention care plan when the product is in normal use as defined by Compass Health Brands: the support surface is covered with a cotton, cotton combination, or linen bed sheet, and any one of these is the only item between the support surface and the user. This product should ALWAYS be used in conjunction with informed nursing judgements when assessing risk from pressure injury development.

Instructions for Use

⚠ WARNING: DO NOT use sharp tools to open the mattress.

1. Remove the mattress from its packaging and unroll the mattress.
2. Allow the mattress to decompress fully before use.
3. Place non-slip vinyl side face down on the bed surface. Printed side of mattress should be faceup.
4. For best results rotate the mattress (head area to foot area) every six months. Ensure the printed side is ALWAYS faceup.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The mattress MUST be cleaned regularly and/or between use with different patients.

• Remove any bedding from the mattress.
• Wipe down both the top and bottom of the mattress covers using a damp cloth pre-soaked in a standard cleaning solution of warm soapy water containing a mild detergent.
• Intermediate disinfectants are acceptable for use on the cover materials. Top covers consisting of typically polyester and/or polyurethane are recommended to be disinfected with Quaternary. Diluted chlorine bleach solution (1:10) is also acceptable. Phenolics are NOT recommended for poly fabric materials.
• Bottom covers consisting of typically vinyl materials are recommended to be disinfected with Phenolics. Diluted chlorine bleach solution (1:10) is also acceptable. Quaternary and/or isopropyl is NOT recommended.
• All components of the mattress should be air-dried thoroughly outside of proximity to dusty areas before re-using.

Additional Warnings

• Because of potential risk of infectious exposure, cleaning with the patient on the bed is NOT recommended. Any item visibly soiled with any bodily fluids should be properly cleaned or removed and all nearby equipment should be inspected for contamination. Staff members should wear appropriate protective clothing when cleaning soiled bedding. Follow standard institutional infection control procedures. DO NOT open the zippered mattress top cover during cleaning, infection control procedures, or during use. DO NOT launder or autoclave mattress covers.
• With use, increased risk of patient entrapment is possible due to mattress compression. At regular intervals monitor gaps between the mattress, bed, and/or rail. Mattresses MUST fit bed frame and bed rails and if gaps are present, the mattress should be replaced.
• Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment. Refer to the owners' manuals for beds and rails for additional safety information.
