PART 3 - Technical manual
MOUNTING
The VENDLET V5 / VENDLET V5+ system should always be installed by a qualified
technician. The VENDLET systems are only intended for mounting on care and
hospital beds complying with the EN1970, EN60601-2-38, or EN60601-2-52 standard.
The bed must be equipped with a rectangular steel frame with the following
dimensions: Height 45 – 50 mm, width min. 20 mm, and length min. 1950 mm.
Although the VENDLET systems are suitable for mounting on most beds with the
above dimensions, the VENDLET V5 / VENDLET V5+ may not be suitable for mounting
on some beds.
Before using a VENDLET V5 / VENDLET V5+ system with a patient, it is important to
assess whether the system is suitable for the given patient and whether the situation
at hand requires special considerations. For example, it could be necessary to take
special precautions if the patient is restless in bed.
Likewise, it must be ensured that the care givers have been trained in the proper use
of the VENDLET V5.
