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 Sliding Mat Wheelchair is part of a product line which is used specifically to aid in raising patients who have slid forward in the wheelchair in home care settings, hospitals and other health care facilities.
The product may only be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions. The Sliding Mats Wheelchair are a safe transfer aid, which allows for a setup 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).
➢ Make sure that the mattress size is suitable for our product, otherwise the anti-slip strips lose their non slip effect. => At smaller mattresses, the anti-slip strips are not on the top side!
➢ Ensure that the transfers are performed by the users in a back-friendly manner.
➢ In case of direct skin contact, observation of changes in skin appearance is indicated.
➢ Weight limits must be observed (200 kg).
➢ 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

3.5 Application illustration

3.6 Application
The Fitted Sheet is an accessory item for the Turn Sheet (item no. PM-1582) or the Turn Sheet with hidden handles (item no. PM-2098). The sliding surface of the fitted sheet is finished with extremely low-friction sliding material.
The fact that the sliding surfaces of the top sheet and the turn sheet lie against one another maximises the reduction of friction forces, producing the same effects as a sliding mat.
