BED AND MATTRESS COMPATIBILITY
VENDLET Basic is intended for mounting on a wide range of
hospital and care beds and with a wide range of mattresses.
The following bed and mattress requirements must be met.
Bed requirements
The bed must meet the EN 60601-2-52 standard or the ex-
pired EN 1970 or EN 60601-2-38 standards.
The bed must have a square steel frame (dimensions H 45-78
mm, W min. 20 mm, L min. 1840 mm without protrusions).
Inner distance between the head- and foot board must be
at least 201 cm. The bed width is not crucial as extra wide
turning sheets and slide sheets are available.
VENDLET Basic can be mounted on most beds with these
dimensions. But situations where VENDLET Basic cannot be
mounted can occur.
The maximum user weight and safe working load
requirements of the bed manufacturer must not
be exceeded following the installation of VEND-
LET Basic.
Mattress requirements
The mattress must meet the bed manufacturers
requirements and be suitable for the bed.
The maximum user weight specification of the mattress must
not be exceeded.
Following the mounting of the VENDLET Basic, the distance
between the mattress sides and side rails must be minimum
2.5 cm and maximum 4 cm, see page 24.
If the mattress is soft and easily compressible, it must be
ensured that there is no entrapment hazard due to extra
compression at the edge of the mattress.
When alternating air mattresses are used, it should be possi-
ble to inflate the mattress to a firm state before the VENDLET
is operated. Soft mattresses will increase the friction against
the mattress and create an uneven base for the client which
will be uncomfortable for the client when the VENDLET sys-
tem is operated.
If the client changes mattress, the VENDLET
installation must be evaluated. A new mattress
might change the conditions and necessitate the
reinstallation of the VENDLET system to reduce
the risk of entrapment.
WARRANTY AND SERVICE LIFE
Vendlet ApS provides a 1-year factory warranty on all electric
parts. Opening the control unit or the hand control will void
the warranty.
Vendlet ApS provides a 3-year warranty on all mechanical
parts (except the sheets).
The VENDLET Basic service life is 5 years. The service life may
be significantly extended if the product is used and handled
with care and maintained in accordance with the guidelines
in this manual
.
The VENDLET Basic must be serviced by a qualified techni-
cian annually, see page 30.

In case of an adverse event or a near-accident involving
VENDLET Basic, the accident must be reported to the compe-
tent authority in the country in which the accident happened
and to the Danish Health and Medicines Authority.
