3. Cleaning, Care and Disinfection
®
All Alpha Repositioning and Transfer aids can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use warm water and mild
detergent. Wipe the product with a damp cloth if necessary and then allow to dry it thoroughly. Do not use any
abrasive or bleaching agents and sharp objects.
If required, we recommend a wipe disinfection, e.g. with the product Trionic
further information on request).
Please pay attention to the care instructions on the label of each product as well as the information on the
respective instructions.
3.1 Cover
The cover can be washed in a washing machine up to 60° C and is suitable for low dryer temperatures
(45 - 50° C). Use mild detergent!
When using non-standard washing agents, bleaching agents, softener or other chemical washing additives, the
functional properties of the cover can strongly degrade.
Basically, textile materials and similar surfaces are not suitable for the use of alcoholic and / or aldehyde-
containing disinfectants. Do not autoclave the product!
3.2 Board
The board itself is very durable and can be cleaned with standard household cleansing products (see item 3.).
The Board may easily be disinfected with alcohol-based disinfectants as well as with Trionic
VAH approval, further information on request). Allow the board to dry after disinfection.
It is not recommended to use the autoclave due to the thermo-sensitive structure of the material.

4. Warranty

•
Petermann gives a warranty that the product is devoid of material defects and manufacturing defects.
•
The warranty is valid for a period of 3 years. It does not cover any defects which are due to improper use.
•
Petermann cannot be held liable for any accidental or indirect injury or damage.
5. Visual and Function Inspection / Safety Information
Repositioning products are also subject to natural aging. Check the equipment regularly and carefully to make
sure it is working properly. Make sure that the product is in good condition and that the material, handles for
pulling and 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 and does not break or tear.
Check the stability by carefully bending the board and make sure that it is elastic and also solid and stable. The
smooth surface of the low-friction material makes it easy to slide and move the board. The best way to test these
properties is by comparing the product with a new product.
WARNING:
•
Faulty products must no longer be used.
•
Make sure that there are a sufficient number of carers and assistants corresponding to the transfer
situation.
•
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to the product or may cause injuries to you
or to others.
•
The Rollboard should only be used by trained staff.
•
If the patient's mobility is restricted, it is essential to supervise the motions of transfer by providing
trusted help.
•
The smooth surface considerably minimises resistance to friction during the change of position.
Carefully check the two transfer surfaces, making sure they are stable and brakes are applied
(wheelchair, bed).
•
Never leave the patient unattended.
•
Particularly when lifting the Rollboard make sure that the patient is securely on the Rollboard and
cannot slide off.
•
Make sure that carers are always aware of their backs during the transfer.
•
Do not use sharp-edged items when using the Rollboard. The Rollboard could get damaged in this
case.
