When the VENDLET is being used as side rails, the bars must be raised to secure
a distance between the surface of the mattress and the upper edge of the bars of
min. 22 cm.
Install the plastic plates before leaving the patient unattended in bed. Use two
plastic plates on each bar. If the head end or foot end of the bed will be raised
while the patient occupies the bed, the plastic plates at that end must be removed.
NOTE!
If VENDLET is not to function as side rails, the bars must
be lowered before leaving the patient.

HOW TO ATTACH THE PLASTIC PLATES
1. Adjust the height of the bed to ensure a correct work posture.
2. Press the and buttons to slacken the turning sheet enough to insert
the plastic plates between the mattress and the support bar as shown in the
figure.
3. When the plastic plates are inserted between the mattress and
the support bar, the spacer at the bottom of the plastic plate must
press against the headboard and footboard. This position ensures
that the fingers of the patient will not get caught.
4. The plastic plates are attached by pressing them down over the bars; the
easiest way is to do it one bracket at a time. Start with the bracket closest to
the headboard or footboard and press it down over the bar.
5. Always remember to attach the foot end plastic plate first,
followed by the head end plastic plate, as this prevents the patient
from getting his/her hand or similar caught in the overlap between
the two plastic plates.
