PETERMANN PM-4012 Lifting Mat Management and Leadership Portal User Manual

General Information

Thank you for choosing a Petermann product.

Please read the user manual carefully before using the product for the first time!

The current understanding in modern occupational health and safety is that people in nursing professions
experience significant work-related physical strain. Back injuries are common. There are many situations in which a patient has to be transferred from a bed, a wheeled stretcher, ambulance stretcher, an X-Ray table or a wheelchair to a different stretcher or seat. The strain on the user and the patient / care- dependent can be reduced significantly through the use of sliding mats.

The use of transfer aids should be conditional upon the user having learned to use the equipment properly. The user has to decide for themselves what equipment is suitable to the patient’s situation and the intended sequence of movements.

The Lifting Mat is part of a product line which is used specifically to aid in the transfer of patients in home
care,hospitals and other health care facilities.

The product may only be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions.

The information in this user manual is for the patient who is being transferred and moved, as well as the user performing the transfer / position change.

Contact us if you require additional information or assistance using the Petermann product.
