Mattress Decontamination and Repairs
Did you know…?
This is just one reason why regular maintenance on pressure care systems is imperative, to avoid pressure sores and ensure quality care is maintained.
Three good reasons to look after your mattresses;
Infection Control
With mattresses often being the closest equipment in constant contact with staff, patients and other vulnerable service users’ infection control is our highest priority and we strongly recommend they should be decontaminated at least between every change of client.
Wear & Tear
Mattress pump systems are intricate and contain many moving parts that are either vibrating or turning. The wear due to their constant use, can often go unnoticed until a fault arises which can result in a reduction of effective pressure care for your client causing pressure sores or worst case – complete downtime of your equipment.
PUWER 1998 Regulation:
It is recommended by CQC that these items are serviced regularly. They also come under the PUWER 1998 Regulation, which states that equipment should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines, which is normally on an annual basis.
