Dimensional requirements, side rails
If the bed is equipped with side rails, these must be removed before mounting the
VENDLET V5. The VENDLET V5 system has been tested and approved to function as
side rails in accordance with the requirements of EN60601-2-52.
Mounting the VENDLET V5, you should take the following dimensions into account:
You should always check the maximum load of the bed and ensure that
the combined weight of the patient, the VENDLET V5 / V5+ system and any
other equipment on the bed never exceeds this limit.
H
A distance of 2.5 – 4 cm is required between the mattress and the VENDLET on both
sides of the mattress, meaning that the difference between the T and M measures
must be between 5 cm and 8 cm. Likewise, it is important that the mattress guides
are suitable for the mattress and will hold the mattress in place.
In order to meet the side rail requirements, the upper edge of the bars must be
mounted 22 cm above the mattress surface, meaning that the H measure must be
between 22 cm and 23 cm.
Maximum loads
The max. VENDLET V5 user weight is 200 kg.
The max. VENDLET V5+ user weight is 400 kg.
Since the VENDLET systems are always mounted on beds, it is important to consider
the whole solution.
