Maintenance / Care - Petermann Alpha Série Mode D'emploi

Accessory (option): safety loop belt for patient support
The safety loop belt can be used optionally for patients with limited body tension. The belt prevents the
riding up of the holding belt during transfers. Both loops of the safety loop belt have to be attached to
the grips of the holding belt and with help of the clip locks applied under the patient's legs.
The safety loop belt is exclusively designed for the short-term use during patient transfers and only in
combination with the PM-Alpha products (holding belt and raising aid Magic).

3. Maintenance / Care

The product does not require any special maintenance. It can be washed in a washing machine at
60° C. When using non-standard washing agents, bleaching agents, softener or other chemical
washing additives, the functional properties of the product can strongly degrade. 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 by
applying pressure and loading to the handles and the clasp and make sure that the material resists the
load. The high-friction has a rough surface to prevent slippage. 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.
