Safety information

WARNING indicates a potential danger which could lead to personal injury or material damage.
It is the responsibility of the organisation / the user to determine, on the basis of the circumstances

(weight / health condition of the patient) and the capabilities of the user, whether several users may
be required for the transfer and/or whether additional safety measures are required.
Defective products may no longer be used.

The smooth surfaces significantly reduce resistance due to friction during repositioning. Check the

transfer surfaces carefully to ensure they are fixed in place securely (e.g. wheelchair, bed).
Ensure that the transfers are performed by the users in a back-friendly manner.

Weight limits must be observed (200 kg/440 lb).

After the transfer / repositioning, remove the Sliding Mat from under the patient. If applicable, ask

about products which can also be used for "bedding" applications.
Transfer products are subject to a natural ageing process. Inspect the equipment regularly to ensure

proper functionality.
The use of non-standard cleaning agents or bleaching agents, alcohols, fabric softeners or other

chemical laundry additives may lead to permanent deterioration of the Sliding Mat properties.
