PETERMANN BM-0560 Blue Motion Slide Soft User Manual

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 slides. 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. Slides are made from a particularly low- friction and hard-wearing polyamide, allowing for easy movement. The Slides are produced as tubes.
The Slides are part of a product line which is used specifically to aid in the transfer of patients in home care and other health care facilities, as well as in hospitals.
The product may only be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions. The Slides are a safe transfer aid, which allows for a transfer which is pleasant and comfortable for the patient as well as being simple and back-friendly for the users.  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.

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 (150 kg).
➢ 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 properties.

Using the product

3.1 Indication and further use
Due to the wide range of possible applications, the indications cannot be tied to a specific clinical picture, since Slides are suitable for all applications involving people who require assistance. Thanks to the reduced friction, the capabilities of the patient can be put to use when Slides are used. The effort required on the part of the user is reduced.
This product may be reused.
Before reusing the product, be sure to perform a thorough function check (see item 2.2) as well as cleaning or disinfection of the product. (see item 5)
3.2 Contraindications
Contraindications cannot be tied to a specific clinical picture. Observe the safety information under item 2.
If the muscle tone is elevated due to transfer movements being performed too quickly in patients who are anxious, are pain-sensitive, have a perceptual disability or are disoriented, then alternatives have to be developed. Please contact our experts if this is the case.
3.3 Application risks
➢ Movements are performed too quickly → risk of falling
➢ Jerky movements → risk of elevated tone
3.4 Areas of application
The product can be used in home care and other health care facilities as well as hospitals. On account of their water-repellent material properties, the Slides BM-0560, -0652 and -0752 are suitable for use in wet areas or in combination with the sliding board.
The soft versions of the Slides are suitable for in-bed transfers. (Item no. BM-S-0790 and up)

3.5 Application illustration

3.6 Application
Slides make it a lot easier to move patients, since they reduce friction to a minimum.
Slides are available in various sizes and versions, the correct size is determined on the basis of the patient’s functional capacities and the desired change in position. They are tubular Slides in which the specified length is the respective length of the closed side. Thanks to their sliding properties, they can be used in any direction.
The Slides not only allow the patient to be moved within the bed, they can also be used for many position changes and transfers while recumbent or sitting. They support the movement transitions and are not intended to remain underneath the patient. The Slide can be combined effectively with the Sliding Board, the Turning Disc, a Raising Aid or the Support Belt. After use, the slides can be hung up by the label.
