A Better Way to Turn the Bed.
Simplify bed reprocessing without compromising patient protection.
EVS teams are responsible for preparing patient rooms quickly, consistently, and according to established infection prevention protocols. Soteria® helps move complex mattress and bed-deck reprocessing out of the patient room and into a controlled, validated laundry process.
SIMPLIFIED BED TURNOVER
Process timing reflects Trinity Guardion’s current EVS guidance.
THE EVS CHALLENGE
More Cleaning Requirements. Less Time to Turn the Room.
Hospital beds and mattresses are complex medical devices. Reprocessing can involve manufacturer-specific cleaning instructions, disinfectant contact times, mattress inspection, documentation, and multiple bed surfaces — all while the next patient is waiting.
Complex MIFUs
Manufacturer instructions can require multiple cleaning, disinfection, inspection, and documentation steps.
Turnover Pressure
EVS teams must balance thorough reprocessing with the operational need to make rooms available for the next patient.
Mattress Damage
Repeated exposure to disinfectants and aggressive cleaning can contribute to mattress-cover deterioration and failure.
Inspection & Documentation
Mattress integrity must be considered as part of an effective bed-reprocessing program.
THE SOTERIA WORKFLOW
Make Bed Turnover More Repeatable
Soteria creates a protective layer over the mattress and bed deck. Instead of relying solely on complex in-room mattress reprocessing, the used barrier is removed and sent through a controlled laundry process.
Remove
~90 secondsRemove the used Soteria barrier from the patient bed.
Clean
Protected surfacesWash the protected mattress and bed deck with soap and water.
Apply
~90 secondsInstall a clean Soteria barrier for the next patient.
Ready
Next patientComplete the room-turnover process with a protected bed surface.
SHIFT THE WORK
Move Complex Reprocessing Out of the Patient Room
Soteria allows the reusable barrier itself to undergo controlled laundering, disinfection, drying, and inspection away from the time-sensitive room-turnover environment.

PROTECT THE SURFACE
Stop Patient Fluids Before They Reach the Bed
Soteria encapsulates the mattress and bed deck, creating a physical barrier between patient soils and the underlying equipment.
Protects the mattress Helps prevent patient fluids and soils from reaching the mattress surface.
Protects the bed deck Extends protection beyond the mattress to underlying bed components.
Supports equipment longevity Reduces direct exposure of expensive bed assets to patient fluids and repeated disinfectant use.
VALIDATED REPROCESSING
Reprocessing That Does Not Depend on Room Turnover Time
After patient use, Soteria barriers are sent through a defined laundry process and inspected before returning to service.
BUILT FOR EVS
Simpler for Staff. More Consistent for the Facility.
Standardize
Give staff a repeatable bed-turnover process rather than relying on different procedures for every mattress and bed.
Simplify
Reduce the amount of complex mattress reprocessing that must occur during a time-sensitive room turnover.
Protect
Help keep patient fluids away from mattresses and bed decks.
Verify
Add inspection and traceability to the reusable barrier lifecycle.
ADD VISIBILITY WITH ECOSYSTEM™
Know What Is Clean, Where It Is, and What Happens Next
EcoSystem adds digital visibility to the Soteria workflow, helping facilities manage inventory, lifecycle status, movement, and compliance.
