Seclusion Room Pillow

The Seclusion Room Pillow is used in locked wards and seclusion rooms for high-risk individuals. The Pillow is made with large ventilation channels cut into the foam, to help prevent deliberate suffocation. The heavy-duty anti-ligature material cover is comfortable yet very strong, ensuring that ligatures will be extremely difficult for a patient to make.

Cleaning

This product is designed to be washed as one piece. The cover is not removable. The internal foam has special holes to release the water.
Standard Material: Wash up to 80°C (176°F). Air or tumble dry on a cool setting, ensuring the drum is cool. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing.
Fire Retardant Material: Wash all Fire-Retardant Material products as instructed below before first use. Cold or warm machine wash up to 75°C. Air or tumble dry on a cool setting, ensuring the drum is cool. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing.

All Proban® treated fabrics are tested to meet Standard EN 531:1995 (50 washes at 75°C) and are certified by Rhodia Consumer Specialties Limited who manufacture the Proban chemical, to maintain their flame retardant qualities for 50 washes, as long as the correct laundering procedures are followed. Independent tests of Proban-treated garments have passed the flammability test after 100 to 150 washes.

Some important considerations when laundering Fire Retardant fabric:

• Proban fabrics are thoroughly tested for flame retardant performance and durability to washing; however, if the material is not laundered correctly, it can fail flammability tests after a few washes.
• Proban treated articles may be washed in any conventional washing machine using a cold or warm wash, up to 75°C. Use the non-colour fast machine setting.
• Regular washing will help prevent soiling build-up. A pre-soak of up to two hours may help for heavily soiled items.
• Use synthetic detergents only (e.g. Cold Power, Drive, Spree, Dynamo, FAB, Biozet, Radiant, Castle, OMO, Surf, etc.).
• Do not wash Proban garments in traditional soap powders as these types of soaps (Lux, Advance, Velvet, etc.) can form flammable deposits that may affect the fabric's flame retardant qualities.
• Never use hypochlorite-based bleaches (e.g. White King, Domestos, and other supermarket blends) as they will attack the Proban finish and can reduce its flame retardant properties.
• Garments can be tumble dried; however, to avoid shrinkage, take care not to over-dry.

The following information is taken from Proban's website:

Proban fabrics have been widely adapted by The U.K. National Health Service, Private Nursing Homes, and Network Rail. All Proban fabrics meet the requirements:

• Proban fabrics meet the performance requirements of BS 7175: 1989 Section 3.
• Prior to testing, all Proban fabrics are washed 200 times in accordance with BS 5651 Hospital Laundry Procedure Normal.

Comfortable and lightweight Proban fabrics do not cause skin sensitisation and/or irritation on the wearer’s skin. Proban fabrics are ideal for the manufacture of flame retardant sleepwear for retail and contract markets. Key features of the Proban fabrics include:

• High level of stability.
• Does not hydrolyse on long-term storage.
• Durability after 50 washes.
