OPERATION
Handling clients with VENDLET Standard enables caregivers to
work on a one-to-one basis: one hand is used to operate the
hand control and the other hand is free to guide the arms and
legs of the client. In order to improve the safety and well-being
of the client, we recommend that you place the hand holding
the hand control on the shoulder of the client or similar.
You should always use the resources of the client. For example,
if the client can move his/her arm to the side, he or she should
do so. You should also consider letting the client operate the
hand control and thereby involve him/her in the process if
this is feasible. However, the client must not operate VENDLET
Standard on their own unless a qualified risk assessment has
been carried out. Vendlet ApS cannot be held responsible for
the risk assesment or conclusions based on this.
Always, keep focus on the client when using
VENDLET Standard.
Remember to leave the hand control on the
outside of the bed before leaving the client.
