product (-s).
The information in this user manual applies to the shown products
provided that the products have not been modied or customized
and that the products have been used as recommended in this user
manual.
If the costumer changes, repairs or uses the product in other combi-

MDR (EU) 2017/745:
Products in this user manual is CE-approved and follows the harmo-
nized standards. This means that the products are in compliance with
the essential health and safety directives. The product(-s) comply with
the standards in the Medical Device Regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745 –
Class 1.
The intended use of the product/-s:
The intended use for the product is to reduce friction between the
user and the mattress to make it easier for the helper and gentler for
the user whilst turning, moving up/ downwards, and moving to sitting
position on the edge of the bed. This product should always be used in
combination with a Master Turner from master care a/s.
Proper use of the product:
The combination of the Mattress Cover and Master Turner from master
care A/S constitutes a turning system, which can be used for users
with a decrease in function where transfers in bed and between beds
can be difcult.
Warning:
Always make sure not to position the user to close to the edge of the
mattress if sitting on top of the Mattress Cover since this poses a risk
of sliding off/down. If the user is transferred to a sitting position on
the edge of the bed, always make sure the knees have a 90-degree
angle, the feet can reach the oor and to have enough non-skid under
the user´s thighs.
Risk assessment:
Always make a risk assessment and a functional assessment of the
user prior to using the product. This way using the product for trans-
ferring or moving a user, is ergonomic and legally sound.
Knowledge of the product/transferring:
It is important that the user of the product has been properly instruc-
ted in the use of the product and has read the user manual thoroughly
prior to using the product.
master care A/S provide education in the use of products and on our
website all user manuals can be found.
Life span:
The expected life span of products with nylon sliding material with
daily wear and tear and washing averagely is 1-3 years. The products
life span depends on the use, load and how often it is washed/dried.
Products without nylon sliding material have a much longer life span.
Products with insufcient friction reduction, defect seams, broken
material or other deciencies must be discarded. This way you will
always keep a sound and healthy work environment for both helper
and user.
Make visual inspections frequently and preferably before every use.
Guarantee:
master care A/S provide a 2-year guarantee covering material defects
and manufacturing defects if the product has been used correctly.

authority and to master care A/S or the distributor.

damages if the product(-s) have been used in contravention of the by
the manufacturer recommended intended purpose or proper use of the
product.

Stabilizing a user sitting on the edge of the bed – Mattress Cover 1 or 3 (1 helper):
Replacing the sliding ap under the user using the ceiling hoist (1 helper): - continued
33. The helper pulls the ap backwards whereby
the black anti-skid surface stabilizes and locks
the Master Turner and thus secures the user´s
sitting position.
32. The helper loosens the white straps and
slides them backwards on top of the ap.
30. After sliding the ap under the user, slide the
user a bit to the side, towards the helper. From
the opposite side pull out the ap and reconnect
the Hook-and-Loop-Tape to the Mattress Cover.
29. Place the palms of the hands in the fold of
the ap. Slide the ap under the user from the
middle and smoothen it out towards the sides.
Repeat several times until resistance is felt.
31. If the 10 cm anti-skid does not stabilize the
user enough when sitting on the edge of the bed,
use the ap in the middle. Place the Mattress
Cover so that the ap slides away from the
user´s legs.
28. Connect the ceiling hoist and elevate the
user slightly. Place the ap bilayed between the
Mattress Cover and the Master Turneren. Put on

Using wedges and cushions with the Vario Cover:
Advantages/disadvantages using Mattress Covers with no aps (ST) or two aps (2):
42. To stabilize the sitting position the Position-
ing Wedges - XS are essential under the thighs.
The wedges angles combined with the anti-skid
surface of the wedge supports the optimal
position. The pelvis can still be moved although
the user does not slide down in bed.
41. Always place the user´s pelvis correctly in
the bed according to the head and midtsection,
before placing the postioning cushions and
wedges.
39. Removing the ap under the pelvis should
only take place after a thorough skin assessment
and risk assessment of the user’s skin. A better
alternative is using Positioning Wedges – XS
under the thighs, Positioning Cushion – S under
the feet and possibly Positioning Wedges – M
along the sides of the upper body to stabilize the
user and minimizing the risk of tissue damage.
38. SHEAR INJURIES: Locking the aps will lead
to no micro movements for helpers or user. The
Master Turner should not be locked over time,
as this can lead to shear and tissue injuries for
users with sensitive skin.
40. It can be an advantage to use strategically
placed positioning cushions and wedges instead
of the aps. The use of cushions and wedges
can reduce the risk of tissue and shear injuries
caused by misuse of the Mattress Cover and
inappropriate positioning.
36. Vario 2: This cover has permanent sliding
properties under the pelvis and aps under the
upper body and legs. This makes it possible to
stabilize the upper body briey during dressing,
ADL, ect.. Long term removal of the aps is not
recommended due to the risk of shear and tissue
injuries. It is recommended to use the Master
Comfort cushions and wedges for positioning
over longer periods of time – to optimize the
sitting and lying position and to optimize the
comfort.
37. The cover can lock under respectably legs,
upper body and pelvis when removing the ap.
Long term removal of the aps is not recom-
mended due to the risk of shear and tissue
injuries. It is recommended to use the Master
Comfort cushions and wedges to optimize the
longer lasting sitting and laying positions and to
increase the comfort.
35. Vario Cover 1: With a ap under the pelvis to
lock the Master Turner. The rest of the cover has
permanent sliding properties. When sitting make
sure to elevate the knee rest and have support
under the feet, along with wedges and cushions
to minimize the risk of shear injuries under the
pelvis.
34. ST Cover: Cover without aps. The cover
does not have the ability to lock the Master Turn-
er towards the Mattress Cover. This minimizes
the risk of shear injuries for the user in case of
misuse. As an alternative cushions and wedges
can be used.

Using wedges and cushions with the Vario Cover: - continued
44. The wedges along the sides create great
body perception and awareness and they reduce
the risk of the upper body sliding to one side.
Place the wedges under the Master Turner to
support the user´s movements, but still creating
a safe environment.
43. A Positioning Cushion under the feet gives
the user a great body perception and awareness
along with the opportunity to adjust the position.
It reduces the sliding down in bed and the risk of
contracture of the calf muscles. Fully elevate the
knee rest and elevate the back rest afterwards.
