How does the Soteria process work?
The Soteria Bed Barrier® are as easy to apply as a fitted sheet, and use a simple & easily repeatable process similar to the cycle bed linens go through:
1. The barrier is placed on a clean mattress.
2. After patient discharge, the barrier is removed from the mattress, placed in a soiled barrier bag, and sent to the laundry.
3. The top and sides of mattress are cleaned, and a clean barrier is placed on the mattress.
4. The soiled barrier is laundered per Trinity Guardion’s protocol (providing a 99.9999% reduction in pathogens22), inspected, and sent back to the hospital.
