USER MANUAL
1. Product Description
Your Dyna-Form Mattress utilises a high specification polyurethane multi stretch, vapour-permeable, cover which is designed to reduce
build-up of heat that is associated with PVC type mattress covers whilst still remaining waterproof. Under the cover, this mattress blends
the finest quality combustion modified high resilient foam (CME), together with a specialist pressure reducing “castellated cut” that
ensures this product provides not only the best pressure re-distribution properties but also gives greater patient comfort and product
longevity. Please see the product literature for further details.

intended to be used in conjunction with an appropriately sized bed frame, as part of an overall pressure ulcer prevention program of
care..
Suitable for use with paediatric to geriatric patients with restricted or limited mobility and/or activity, at a high risk of pressure ulcer
damage in a hospital, long-term care, or homecare environment.

2.2 On delivery of your new mattress
! IMPORTANT If your pressure reducing mattress has been delivered to you in a compressed roll package to ease storage and
handling, then please remove from the outer box and open the clear plastic sleeve within 21 days. This will allow the mattress to
regain its original shape. Open the mattress for minimum period of 2 hours before use to optimise performance. .
Please dispose of all packaging in line with your applicable environmental policy.
2.3 Using your mattress
Caution: Prior to using the mattress ensure that the bed has no rough edges that may damage the mattress. Place the mattress on the bed with the .
Dyna-Form logo face up and near the head end of the bed. Ensure the zip is closed and the zip flap is completely covering the zip.
Wipe the mattress down before covering the mattress with a loose-fitting sheet.
Warning: Do not use heavy duvets or tightly “tucked in” blankets which may force additional pressure on the toes leading to damage on the bony
prominences of the heels. The usage of additional water proof mattress covers, electric blankets, sheepskins or other similar items which may reduce the
effectiveness of the pressure reducing properties of the mattress or indeed lead to an additional increase of body temperature which may cause skin maceration
is not advisable. Please seek clinical advice should you wish to use any covering other than the cotton or linen type bed sheet. Take care when using mechanical
items such as bridging boards, PAT slides or other patient transfer aids that damage does not occur to the mattress cover due to sharp or damaged edges.
Warning: The maximum user weight of your mattress is available within the product literature.
Warning: The printed side of the mattress cover must always be facing upward. Make sure that the distance between the surface of the mattress and the
top of the side rail is at least 220mm.
2.4 Patient repositioning
! IMPORTANT Your Dyna-Form Pressure Redistributing Mattress will provide not only the best pressure re-distribution properties
but also give greater patient comfort and product longevity. However, to prevent the build-up of pressure which may lead to .
tissue damage and potential ulcer formation, it is important that the patient either repositions themselves, or is repositioned on
a regular basis. This should be based on the clinical judgement of a qualified healthcare professional that will provide you with a
suitable turning regime.
2.5 Fire Evacuation System (If Applicable)
The Dyna-Form® Mercury Fire Evac mattress (MAT0610001) features the addition of a fire evacuation system. In the event of an
evacuation occurring, the following steps should be taken to provide the safest possible transport of the user:
4
1. The Dyna-Form® Mercury Fire Evac mattress has clearly marked instructions on the foot and head end for ease of use.
2. Open the zips at the shortest ends of the mattress (head end and foot end) to gain access to the Fire Evac harness system.
3. Pull out harnesses from the mattress and remove the patient securing straps.
4. Place patient securing straps around both the mattress and the patient, and adjust the straps accordingly to ensure the .
patient is secure.
5. Drag both the mattress and the patient on the floor to an area of safety.

3. Cleaning & Care
The way in which the mattress is cleaned depends upon the nature of the contamination and the susceptibility of the patient. .
Cleaning should take place before and after use, and between each patient.
3.1 Light soiling
! IMPORTANT In the absence of gross contamination or unusual risk, the removal of dirt and spillages with clean, warm water,
neutral detergent and manual dexterity should be sufficient. However if required the cover can be wiped down with a solution of .
Sodium Hypochlorite diluted to 1,000ppm available chlorine. Ensure that the cover is rinsed with clean water using a single use
non-abrasive cloth, and thoroughly dried. Ensure adequate ventilation.
3.2 Heavy soiling
! IMPORTANT In cases of gross contamination the mattress cover should be cleaned first with detergent and water then with a solution of Sodium Hypochlorite diluted to 10,000ppm available chlorine. Rinse well with clean water and a damp single use nonabrasive cloth. Ensure adequate ventilation.
! IMPORTANT Disposable gloves and aprons should be worn. If splashing could occur eye/face protection should also be worn. .
On removal of gloves, hands should be washed. Ensure the mattress cover is thoroughly dried before remaking the bed, .
as damp humid environments have been shown to lead to the continuation of bacterial growth.
Within the community setting, it may be desirable to launder the cover after removing from the foam core. In such cases the cover
should be laundered at no more than 80 degrees C.
3.3 Drying
To avoid shrinkage of the cover line dry in an indoor clean environment or tumble dry on a low heat setting not exceeding .
40 degrees C and not for longer than 10 minutes. Covers must be thoroughly dried before re-fitting to the mattress.
3.4 Inspection
Warning: Inspect the inner and outer surfaces of covers and their zip fasteners regularly for signs of damage. If the cover is stained, soiled or torn, the foam
core should be examined. Damaged/soiled covers and mattresses should be reported to the ward/department manager. If the core of the mattress is wet or badly
stained, the mattress should be withdrawn from service. The Company suggests that the bed frame should also be cleaned in between each change of patient.
4.Maintenance
4.1 Audit
Caution: It is recommended that an audit of all mattresses within a ward/department is carried out at least annually. .
In the community setting, an audit should also be considered between each change of patient.
Please refer to the document Medical Device Alert: All types of bed mattresses (MDA/2010/002), and also the BHTA guidance on
the care, cleaning and inspection of healthcare mattresses (BHTA Protect, Rinse and Dry). Details on how to audit your mattress are
available from Direct Healthcare Group.
