Turning sheet
Attaching the turning sheet before use
1. Place the turning sheet in the middle of
the bed, velcro tape facing downward.
2. Press the turning sheet onto the velcro
strip on one of the bars; begin at the head
of the bed and work your way down to the
foot of the bed.
3. The turning sheet must always
be placed OVER the bars to
prevent the fingers, hair ect. of
the patient from getting caught under the
sheet. The pulling power will be reduced
and the
motors will switch off when the turning
sheet is pulled in by the bar if the sheet is
placed under the bars.
4. Press the
or
button on the hand
control and allow approx. two-thirds of
the sheet to be pulled in by the bar.
5. Press the turning sheet onto the velcro
strip on the opposite bar.
6. Use this bar to pull in the turning sheet by
pressing the
or
, button until the
sheet covers the mattress evenly with the
red line at the centre of the mattress.
The red line should be at the centre of the mattress to the extent possible as this will
not only ensure as much manoeuvrability as possible when the VENDLET is used but
also facilitate the attachment of side rails on the bars if these are to be used.
What should I do if the turning sheet is rolled askew on the bars?
Occasionally, the turning sheet will roll askew on the bars. As such, this is insignificant
and the VENDLET V5 / VENDLET V5+ system will still be operable.
This could result in turning sheet creases under the patient, however, this is not
desirable. Hence, we recommend that you aim to smooth the turning sheet if the
sheet is askew on the bars by more than a hand’s width.
