The Steamy® MAIA Set for Women's Herbal Steaming is the result of seven years of development of tools for women's pelvic steaming. It includes a brand new stainless steel stool, padding with glued seams and a pot. The Maia Set brings a whole new dimension of functionality, safety, comfort and ease of use to high stress environments such as maternity wards, IVF centres or other facilities offering the pelvic steaming procedure as part of a woman's professional care therapy.
The 3rd generation Maia Set differs from previous models by using stainless steel construction, new seat material for maximum durability and easy maintenance. Combined with the new type of Steamy® Softness Maia padding with taped seams, it creates a unique tool for comfortable and safe delivery of female herbal infusion.
The Maia chair is based on a sophisticated and robust stainless steel construction with a brushed finish, which gives the chair a refined look and guarantees easy cleaning and a long service life without compromise. The tactile parts of the edges are fitted with 180° bends that create curves, making the chair very safe to handle. The individual parts are connected with stainless steel screws and secured with special self-locking stainless steel conelock nuts.
The seat is made of a compact board filled with a mixture of very stable melamine and phenolic resins, which creates a hygienic, impermeable and durable surface with an antimicrobial surface.
Meets ISO 22196 = JIS Z 2801 (99.9% reduction in bacteria and germs in 24 hours, A [log10KBE] A ≥ 3, strong).
A quality and time-tested enamel pot with a volume of 2.6 litres from the Czech manufacturer Belis for cooking one batch of herbal mixture is the heart of the whole system. The pot is fitted with a glass lid with stainless steel handle. It is suitable for all types of heating including induction or just for pouring water from a kettle.
The Steamy® Softness Maia cover is made of Stamskin Zen leather from Serge Ferrari, which guarantees the highest quality. This top-quality material has an Agivir™ antiviral surface with silver particles to ensure maximum comfort, safety and, thanks to the smooth grain on the surface, very easy cleaning. The supporting structure is a polyamide jersey without nanoparticles, which makes the material very resistant to abrasion or tearing. The padding is very precise and double-sided lined, so that it has identical properties on the outside and inside. All seams, including the inner folds, are taped, which prevents the penetration of dirt in depth, significantly extending the service life and simplifying maintenance. Of course, it has been tested for cytotoxicity (non-irritation to the skin) according to ISO 10993-5 and -10; OECD TG439.
The Agivir™ antiviral surface with silver particles has been tested by VirHealth, an independent laboratory, against ISO 21702 for coronavirus 229 E, a representative of human coronaviruses. During testing, it was verified that 95% of the virus was reduced in just 15 minutes and within 60 minutes of contact, the infectious virus was reduced to 0.5%. For bacteria, a 24-hour test protocol (ISO 22196 = JIS Z 2801) was tested with a result of 99.9% bacterial destruction.

Please note that all surfaces (padding - 1, seat - 2, steel structure - 3, pot with lid - 4) must be cleaned and disinfected regularly. The antibacterial property is not a substitute for cleaning or disinfection. Without regular and prescribed cleaning, dirt and possible biofilms hinder the antibacterial properties.
Cleaning all types of Maia Set surfaces is generally easy. Use mild soap-based or alcohol-based disinfectant cleaners. In particular, cleaning agents must not contain any abrasive additives as they can cause a change in gloss level and scratching. Cleaning intervals should be adapted to the area of use and the degree of soiling. Depending on the substance and the period of exposure, light and easily removable soiling as well as heavy and more difficult to remove soiling may occur. Therefore, the choice of the right type of cleaning is very important. Depending on the type of contamination, the cleaning instructions below should be followed. Naturally, it is always necessary to start with the most gentle method with the shortest duration of action.
As a general rule, contaminants such as blood, urine, faeces should be removed immediately because the longer the exposure time, the harder they will be to clean. In principle, however, traces of use are not qualitatively damaging to the surface.
Cleaning with a soft cloth is important, and it is recommended to use a dampened cleaning cloth. Too coarse cloths and scouring sponges or melamine sponges with rough sides may, if rubbed or scrubbed too hard, produce shiny marks or stains on the surface which represent damage and may not be removable. In the case of particularly deep surface textures, cleaning can be accomplished without difficulty if the guidelines given are followed.
Other important notes:
If necessary, you can disinfect the entire surface of the chair (covering padding, seat, steel structure and pot with lid) with a suitable alcohol-based product for medical equipment. After cleaning, check the condition of the chair and carry out any further cleaning or maintenance. It is important to follow local regulations and the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and disinfecting equipment to ensure that the healthcare environment remains clean and hygienic.
Please note: The above information regarding cleaning and disinfection is general in nature. In practice, the set should be maintained according to the instructions for use, which elaborate procedures for different types and levels of contamination.
