Maintenance / Care - Petermann Alpha PM-1580 Mode D'emploi

With the immobilisation straps the upper part can be fastened to the top of the bed with the clips in
order to prevent it from slipping down when the head section of the bed is raised. The turn sheet can
also be used without the undersheet, depending on the patient's weight. By fitting the enclosed
immobilisation mat (anti-slip mat) between the upper and lower sliding surfaces the slip is reduced or
eliminated in this area.
When using the turn sheet with an alternating pressure mattress, please take note of the following:
As there are many different alternating pressure mattresses, the use of the turn sheet should be
checked in advance.
This product is suitable for re-use.

3. Maintenance / Care

The product does not require any special maintenance. It can be washed in a washing machine at
90° C and is suitable for low dryer temperatures (45 – 50° C). When using non-standard washing
agents, bleaching agents, softener or other chemical washing additives, the functional properties of
the product can strongly degrade. Make sure that there is always enough ventilation between both
sliding levels (danger of mould and humidity formation). The robust material can be disinfected with
the usual wipe disinfectants. Check the compatibility before use where required on the basis of the
disinfectant's instructions. We recommend the use of alcohol- and aldehyde-free agents, e.g. Trionic®.
There is also some care information on the label.

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 smooth surface of the low-friction material makes it
easy to slide and move. The best way to test these properties is by comparing the product with a new
product.
