CombiCarrier and CombiCarrier II Care and Maintenance Guidelines

CombiCarrier® and CombiCarrierII® CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

www.HartwellMedical.com Creating Quality Products for Life

CARE AND MAINTENANCE The CombiCarrier® and CombiCarrierII® are the first patient handling devices designed as combination backboard/scoop stretchers. Their high-density polyethylene shell will not absorb blood or body fluids and is easily cleaned. These Care and Maintenance Guidelines are recommendations to maximize the life and service of these products. You should always follow the specific cleaning and disinfecting practices dictated by your Medical Director.

CLEANING PROCEDURE The CombiCarrier and CombiCarrierII should be cleaned using soap and water, a mild detergent, or a commercial cleaner/disinfectant. Any blood, body fluids or other soiled materials should be thoroughly removed prior to disinfection. Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solutions may be used for disinfection, but avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of bleach to avoid discoloration. A 1% bleach solution (or concentration compatible with current CDC Guidelines) can be used on the CombiCarrier and CombiCarrierII, but it should be thoroughly rinsed off with cold water and then allowed to dry. Other commercially available disinfecting agents suitable for use on this surface may be wiped or sprayed onto the CombiCarrier or CombiCarrierII following the product manufacturer’s recommended instructions for use, and allowed to dry completely.
