5. Visual and Function Inspection / Safety Information / Re-use
Repositioning products are also subject to natural aging. Check the equipment regularly and carefully
to make sure it is working properly and especially before re-use. Make sure that the product is in good
condition and that the material and the seams are not damaged. Check the function of the product and
make sure that the material resists the load. The best way to test these properties is by comparing the
product with a new product.
For re-using the product it must be washed and disinfected before, see 3.
WARNING:
•
Faulty products must no longer be used.
•
If the patient's mobility is restricted, it is essential to supervise the motions of transfer by
providing trusted help.
•
The turn sheet may only be used in beds with protective side bars.
•
We recommend that the sheet only be used in combination with alternating pressure after
prior testing. Contact our service team if necessary.
•
When using non-standard washing agents, bleaching agents, softener or other chemical
washing additives, the functional properties of the product can strongly degrade.
•
The smooth surface considerably minimises resistance to friction during the change of
position. Carefully check the transfer surfaces, making sure they are stable and brakes are
applied (e. g. wheelchair, bed).
•
Make sure that there is always enough ventilation between both sliding levels (danger of
mould and humidity formation).
