3. Maintenance / Care
The product does not require any special maintenance. It can be washed in a washing machine at
90° C and is suitable for low dryer temperatures (45
– 50° C). When using non-standard washing
agents, bleaching agents, softener or other chemical washing additives, the functional properties of
the product can strongly degrade. The robust material can be disinfected with the usual wipe
disinfectants. Check the
compatibility before use where required on the basis of the disinfectant’s
instructions. We recommend the use of alcohol- and aldehyde-free agents, e.g
. Trionic
®. There is also
some care information on the label.

defects.

5. Visual and Function Inspection / Safety Information / Re-use
Repositioning products are also subject to natural aging. Check the equipment regularly and carefully
to make sure it is working properly and especially before re-use. Make sure that the product is in good
condition and that the material and the seams are not damaged. Check the function of the product by
applying pressure and loading to the handles and make sure that the material resists the load. The
smooth surface of the low-friction material makes it easy to slide and move. The best way to test these
properties is by comparing the product with a new product.
For re-using the product it must be washed and disinfected before, see 3.
WARNING:
Faulty products must no longer be used.
If the patient's mobility is restricted, it is essential to supervise the motions of transfer by
providing trusted help.
The function of the product may be adversely affected if it is washed with non-standard
detergents or bleaches, fabric softeners or other chemical detergent additives.
The smooth surface considerably minimises resistance to friction during the change of
position. Carefully check the transfer surfaces, making sure they are stable and brakes are
applied (e. g. wheelchair, bed).
