Thermo contour® products contain visco elastic polymers which soften at body temperature to contour perfectly to the shape of the body.

At temperatures below 15°C the Thermo elastic element is very firm. At room temperature flexibility returns. After a few minutes under the body of a hospital patient or care home resident, the product softens.

HANDLING: The covers should be handled with care. The mattress weighs
circa 11-12.5 kgs depending on size.

IN SERVICE: No preparation is needed.The products can be put into service immediately. For the mattress use an ordinary cotton sheet. No mattress protector should be used. The breathable surface absorbs perspiration but remains liquidproof.

STORAGE:The mattress can be stored flat, on the side, or on end without damage. It is not affected by freezing nor high temperatures up to 60°C. It should always be stored with the original cover in place.

SAFETY:Thermo contour® products meet all national and international standards for fire safety. They are non-allergenic; contain no latex; transparent to X-rays; non-static; fungus and bacteria resistant.

HYGIENE:The liquidproof polyurethane cover is made from vapour permeable coated textile. It is effective for as long as the surface is undamaged or becomes worn through.

NOTE: When replacing the cover, ensure that it is put on the right way up. Both the cover and the inside are clearly labelled.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that one spare mattress and cover be made easily accessible for each 20 in service.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
By following these simple instructions Thermo contour® covers should give many years service. They are guaranteed waterproof and vapour permeable for five years, excluding damage.

Cleaning does not diminish fire safety, treatment for antistatic, or anti-fungus.

• For normal cleaning use neutral detergent and water solution.
• Where permitted disinfection can be effected by using diluted Hypochlorite to 1,000 ppm. If other products are used please refer first to the manufacturers guidelines.
• Products safe to use are:-
  
• 90% alcohol +2% ether, Ethanol 70% (608gms/C), Oliën 7gms/C for 5 minutes - H.A.C., Dettol, Chlor-Clean*®
• DO NOT USE abrasive methods such as scrubbing brush or
  Acetone (nail polish remover), Paint remover, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenols
  
• Although a 60°C machine wash will normally produce a perfectly clean result, Thermo contour® covers can be repeatedly washed at 95°C, spun, and may be tumble dried at a maximum of 110°C.
• Covers must be completely dry before use. Please do not use an iron nor wring them out by hand or use a mangle. Store in dry conditions.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with concentrated hand soap such as Hibiscrub®**.
  
• Covers can be dry autoclaved at temperatures up to 110°C.
  
• Once a cover is damaged it should be replaced at once. If any contamination reaches the foam inside it should be taken out of service immediately and destroyed. It is not possible to effectively disinfect any foam mattress.
