The target group for these is bedridden bariatric clients / patients. Prior to the first use of the VENDLET, it is important to assess whether the VENDLET is suitable for the client in question. It may be necessary to take special precautions, for example if a client is very restless in bed or has an untypical anatomy.
PART 1 - General information PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The VENDLET system consists of two bars fitted with motors. The bed is fitted with a motorised bar on both sides; the bar on the left side of the client has a blue colour marking and the bar on the right side of the client has a red colour marking.
VENDLET system is off again. When the VENDLET has been turned on, the bars can be turned in both directions or raised or lowered. The colour coding on the bars relates to the colours on the hand control buttons.

These fundamental principles provide you with a number of ways to move and/or transfer clients. See the “How to Use the VENDLET” section in Part 2 – User Manual for further details.
An additional hand control can be connected if a hand control is required on both sides of the bed, see page 39. Wider sheets: Wider turning sheets and slide sheets are also available if the VENDLET is to be used on wider beds, see page 23. Battery backup and under bed light: Additionally, a battery backup is available to operate the VENDLET without a connec- tion to the supply network.
PART 1 - General information BED AND MATTRESS COMPATIBILITY The VENDLET 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.
PART 1 - General information SYMBOLS Warning triangle indicates when special attention is necessary CE marking: The product complies with the Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) C-Tick marking: Certification trademark - Australia / New Zealand Recognised Component Mark for Canada and the United States China RoHS P.O.
Always, keep focus on the client when using VENDLET. How to use VENDLET Turning The VENDLET may be used to turn clients. Follow this procedure to move a client from a supine position to lying on his/her right side: 1. Double-click the button to activate the VENDLET.
Watch instruction videos on our webpage vendlet.com or scan the QR-code. Moving from one side of the bed to the other The VENDLET may also be used to move clients to the side of the bed. 1. Double-click the button to activate the VENDLET.
Typically, when a client slides towards the foot end, the turning sheet follows the body of the client. In such situations, you may use the VENDLET to move the client up in the bed again.
PART 2 - User manual Applying a sling It is easy to apply a sling on the client when VENDLET is used. 1. Double-click the button to activate VENDLET. 2. Use the turning function of the VENDLET system to move the client onto his/her side.
PART 2 - User manual Prone position The VENDLET can also be used to turn a client to a prone position. 1. Double-click the button to activate VENDLET. 2. Place the clients right arm closely along his body with the palm of the hand facing the thigh.
4. Place a slide sheet on the other bed. 5. Place the other bed right next to the bed with the VENDLET and lower or raise the bed to a slightly lower position relative to the bed with the VENDLET.
PART 2 - User manual Using the VENDLET in combination with bed functionality None of the VENDLET models interfere with the functionality of the bed. Slacken the turning sheet before raising the back, thigh, and/or foot part of the bed.
At the same time, the velcro band on the slide sheet must not be fastened too tightly around the steel frame under the mattress. If the alternating air mattress is very thick (i.e. approx. 22 cm or more), the VENDLET must be installed with height extensions.
Place a slide sheet directly on top of the mattress, followed by the turning sheet which is then attached to the two bars. Slide sheets and turning sheets are available in standard bed sizes and with increased width which makes the VENDLET systems suitable for wider beds as well.
What should I do if the turning sheet is rolled askew on the bars? Occasionally, the turning sheet will roll askew on the bars. As such, this is insignificant and the VENDLET system will still be operable. This could result in creases in the turning sheet under the client which is undesirable.
5. Remove the old turning sheet and Remove the old turning sheet attach the replacement sheet to the bar. Watch instruction videos on our webpage vendlet.com or scan the QR-code. Attach the new turning sheet to the opposite bar...
When the system is powered 1. Lower the bar on the evacuation side. 2. Use the VENDLET to drag the client out over the side for evacuation. In case of power failure 1. Lower the bar in the evacuation side by loosening the position bolts as described on page 36 2.
If a ”Yes” checkbox is marked, this indicates a desired result. If a ”No” checkbox is marked, this indicates a risk in which case the VENDLET system must not be used. In case of malfunctions, faults, missing parts, or improper fitting, contact a qualified technician with a view to an inspection.
