In Trendelenburg positioning, the lying surface of the nursing bed is inclined towards the head.
In the case of Anti-Trendelenburg positioning, the support surface is inclined towards the feet.
Trendelenburg positioning may only be used under the supervision of a doctor, as
it can have an effect on the clinical condition of the patient.

Care, cleaning, and disinfection
Clean and disinfect the VitalFlex Elite LTC bed before using it for the first time and before using it
again. For cleaning, wipe the healthcare bed by hand with a damp cloth. We recommend suitable
cleaning and care products as cleaning agents for wooden and plastic furniture.
Household cleaners without ammonia and abrasives are also permitted but should be
dermatologically tested.
Solvents and scouring agents are not permitted as they attack and damage the various surfaces of
the care bed.
For disinfection:
Note:
To achieve effective disinfection, the VitalFlex Elite must be cleaned beforehand.
Disinfection is possible by spray or wipe disinfection with commercially available disinfectants. Do not
use disinfectants containing chlorine as they can have a corrosive effect on metals, plastics etc. and
are not environmentally friendly.
For wipe disinfection (surface disinfection) we recommend approved disinfectants and disinfection
procedures from the list of disinfectants and disinfection procedures tested and approved by the
Robert Koch Institute (https://www.rki.de).
Before cleaning and disinfection, the mains plug must be disconnected from the mains
and securely suspended. The plugs for the handset and the motors which are plugged
into the control unit on the lying surface drive must be plugged in. This is necessary so
that no water can penetrate the control unit.
