The VENDLET may be used for moving clients to a lateral, prone, or supine posion,
from one side of the bed to the other, or, to reposion them further up in bed. The
VENDLET may also be used in connecon with mobilisaon in and out of bed and
when transferring clients from one bed to another.
The VENDLET protect the caregiver from physical strain and heavy liing in connec-
on with the handling of immobile clients. Clients are turned/handled by pressing a
hand control whereby the caregiver may support a client and ensure their correct
and comfortable posioning. This provides room for increased awareness in the care,
which boosts employee job sasfacon and client well-being.
To the client, the turning process becomes uniform and steady as the sheet
supports the body over its full length.
The target group is clients who are being cared for, dressed, washed etc. in bed. This
will oen be clients who are lied in and out of bed or clients who are mobilised
using a standing aid. Hence, the user will typically be clients with few physical and/or
cognive resources and palliave clients.
The VENDLET is also suitable for clients at risk of developing pressure ulcers in that
the uniform and steady transfer in the sheet minimises fricon and the associated
shear that can damage the ssue and cause pressure ulcers. Furthermore, the
VENDLETs oen seem to have a posive eect on clients suering from spaal aware-
ness.
The VENDLET is intended for clients weighing at least 40 kg.
VENDLET V5S / VENDLET V5S Speed Adjust has a load capacity of max. 200 kg.
VENDLET V5S+ / VENDLET V5S+ Speed Adjust has a load capacity of 400 kg. The target
group for these is bedridden bariatric clients / paents.
For safety reasons, the clients should not operate VENDLET.
Prior to the rst use of the VENDLET, it is important to assess whether the VENDLET is
suitable for the client in queson. It may be necessary to take special precauons, for
example if a client is very restless in bed.

The VENDLET system consist of two bars ed with motors. The bed is ed with a
motorised bar on both sides; the bar on the le side of the client has a blue colour
marking and the bar on the right side of the client has a red colour marking. Each
motorised bar is ed with a long velcro strip which makes it possible to aach a long
turning sheet between the two bars. The turning sheet is wrapped around the two
bars, making it possible to move it from side to side.
A slide sheet is inserted under the turning sheet in order to reduce the fricon of the
turning sheet against the maress.
The bars are ed with an actuator at each end in order to raise and lower the bars.
To allow the individual adjustment of each VENDLET to any bed and maress, the
actuators are mounted on height-adjustable brackets.
Furthermore, the VENDLET consist of a control unit and a hand control. The control
unit is placed underneath the bed.

The VENDLET are switched on by double-clicking the on the hand control. The
VENDLET produce a “beep” upon acvaon and the green diode over the power
symbol turns on.
When a VENDLET has been inacve for 90 seconds, the system produces a “beep-
beep” sound, the diode turns o, and then the VENDLET system is o again.
When the VENDLET has been turned on, the bars can be turned in both direcons or
raised or lowered. The colour coding on the bars relates to the colours on the hand
control buons.
With VENDLET V5S Speed Adjust and VENDLET+ V5S Speed Adjust the speed of the
bars can be reduced, so the speed is running at 75% or 50% of normal.
Press and hold the individual buons long enough to obtain the desired operaon;
the motors will stop when the buon is released. Likewise, you may stop an acvated

When the bar is up on the side where the turning sheet is being ghtened, the client
will be turned. If, on the other hand, the bar is down on the side where the turning
sheet is being ghtened, the client will be moved towards the edge of the bed. These
fundamental principles provide you with a number of ways to move and/or transfer
clients. See the “How to Use the VENDLET” secon in Part 2 – User Manual for further
details.
The VENDLET can be operated by only one carer.
For safety reasons, clients should not operate the VENDLETs.
Consequently, the hand control should be placed on the outer side of the
headboard or outside the bed before the client is le alone.
Lowering the bed to a very low posion
may leave the actuator bracket very
close to the oor. Consequently, you
should not place your feet under the
actuator ngs.
The bed’s lowest height can be restricted on cer-
tain types of beds by mounng height restricon
brackets, see page 38-39.

Height extensions, spacers and brackets:
If parcularly thick maresses are used, it may be necessary to use height extensions,
see page 35. Further, it may be necessary to use spacers if the distance between the
VENDLET system and the maress is insucient, see page 34. Spacers and height
extensions are available as accessories.
Brackets that makes installaon on dierent types of beds easier are available, see
page 38-39.
Wider sheets:
Wider turning sheets and slide sheets are also available if the VENDLET is to be used
on wider beds, see page 22.
Baery backup and under bed light:
Addionally, a baery backup is available to operate the VENDLET without a connec-
on to the supply network. We also provide an under bed light that may be acvated
via the VENDLET hand control, see page 38.

VENDLET are intended for mounng on a wide range of hospital and care beds and
with a wide range of maresses.
The following bed and maress requirements must be met.

1. The bed must meet the established EN 1970, EN 60601-2-38, or EN 60601-2-52
standards.
2. The maximum occupant weight and maximum load requirements of the bed
manufacturer must not be exceeded following the installaon of the VENDLET
system.
3. The bed must have a square steel frame (dimensions H 45-50 mm, W min. 20
mm, L min. 195 cm. without protrusions). The bed width is not crucial as extra
wide turning sheets and slide sheets are available.

1. The maress must meet the requirements of the bed manufacturer and be suit-
able for the bed.
2. The maximum occupant weight requirements of the maress manufacturer must
not be exceeded.
3. Following the installaon of the VENDLET, the distance between the maress
sides and the support bar must be minimum 2.5 cm and maximum 4 cm.
4. If the maress is so and easily compressible, it must be ensured that there is
no crush hazard due to extra compression at the edge of the maress.
5. When alternang air maresses are used, it should be possible to inate the
maress to a rm state before the VENDLET is operated. So maresses will in-
crease the fricon against the maress and create an uneven base for the client
which will be uncomfortable for the client when the VENDLET system is operated.
6. If the client changes maresses, the VENDLET installaon must be evaluated.
A new maress might change the condions and necessitate the reinstallaon of
the VENDLET system.

Vendlet ApS provides a 1-year factory warranty on all electric parts. Opening the
control unit, actuators, or hand control will void the warranty.
Certain types of care and hospi-
tal beds have a parcularly long
bed frame, which means that the
actuator may collide with the bed
brake, when the bed is lowered.
Further, the maress frame may
in some cases collide with the
actuator, if the bed head or foot is
lowered considerably.
Damages to the actuator, due to collision with bed parts, are not covered by the war-
ranty.
To prevent the above problem by liming the bed’s lowest height, or by turning the
actuator, read more on pages 38-39.
Vendlet ApS provides a 3-year warranty on all mechanical parts (except sheets).
The normal VENDLET service life is 10 years. The service life may be signicantly
extended if the product is used and handled with care and maintained in accordance
with the guidelines in this manual.

Handling clients with a VENDLET system enables care takers to work on a one-to-one
basis: one hand is used to operate the hand control and the other hand is free to guide
the arms and legs of the client. In order to improve the safety and well-being of the cli-
ent, we recommend that you place the hand holding the hand control on the shoulder
of the client or similar.
You should always use the resources of the client. For example, if the client can move
his/her arm to the side, he or she should do so. You should also consider leng the
client operate the hand control and thereby involve him/her in the process if this is
feasible.
Allways, keep focus on the client when using VENDLET.

Turning
The VENDLET may be used to turning clients. Follow this procedure to move a client
from a supine posion to lying on his/her right side:
1. Double-click the buon to acvate the VENDLET.
2. Press the buon to raise the blue bar.
3. If necessary, press once or twice on to reduce speed (Speed Adjust).
4. Press the buon to ghten the turning sheet on the blue bar.
5. Place the le arm of the client on his/her stomach or chest the moment before he/
she starts turning.
6. Immediately aer this, guide the right arm of the client to the side.
7. Then shi the le leg in parallel above the right leg.
8. The client now lies on his/her right side.
The red bar does not necessarily have to be raised. But if this makes the client or the
care giver feel more safe, the red bar could be raised during the process.
Moving clients with the VENDLET is ideally suited for dressing and access to care tasks
and hygiene, applying a sling, and reposioning.

Reposioning the client up in the bed
It is a well-known problem that clients oen slide down to the foot of the bed, for
example when the back support has been raised – even if the kneebreak on the bed
was acvated before the back support.
Typically, when a client slides towards the foot of the bed, the turning sheet follows
the body of the client. In such situaons, you may use the VENDLET to move the cli-
ent up in the bed again.
1. Double-click the buon to acvate the VENDLET.
2. Press the and buons to lower the bars if they are raised.
3. If necessary, press once or twice on to reduce speed (Speed Adjust).
4. Press the and buons to slacken the turning sheet.
5. Stand next to the headboard and press the or buon to pull the client
from side to side while you gently guide the turning sheet towards the upper end
of the bar.
6. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side and so on unl the sheet has been
completely reposioned and the client is moved up in the bed again.
Gently guide the slack turning sheet towards the
upper end of the bar
The turning sheet is now almost back in place
Applying a sling
It is easy to apply a sling on the client when VENDLET is used.
1. Double-click the buon to
acvate VENDLET.
2. Use the turning funcon of the
VENDLET system to move the
client onto his/her side.
3. Place the sling along the back of
the client and make sure that the
sling is centred and correctly placed
in accordance with the instrucons
of the sling manufacturer.
4. Use the VENDLET turning funcon
to move the client onto his/her
back again.
5. Free the straps on the opposite
side.
6. Place all straps in such a way that
they are ready to be placed on the
liing beam of the hoist.

Transferring from one bed to another
When the client lies in a VENDLET, the VENDLET - in combinaon with a slide board
and a slide sheet - may be used to transferring the client onto another bed.
1. First use VENDLET’s turning funcon to place the sliding board underneath the
client. Insert the sliding board from the side that is turned towards the new bed.
2. Press the or buon to lower the bar facing the other bed.
3. Press the or buon to raise the opposite bar.
4. Place a slide sheet on the other bed.
5. Place the other bed right next to the bed with the VENDLET and lower or raise
the bed to a slightly lower posion relave to the bed with the VENDLET.
6. Remember to lock the wheels on both beds.
7. Press the or buon to pull in the turning sheet on the bar facing the other
bed. Now, the VENDLET transfers the client and the slide board to the other bed
and the slide sheet.
8. Hold the slide board with your hands and pull to move the client to the centre of
the bed.
9. Remove the slide board and the slide sheet.
Side rail
If it is esmated that the bedridden must use side rails, the VENDLET models descri-

before raising the back, thigh, and/or foot part of
the bed.
Under normal circumstances, the bed surface
must be level before you use the VENDLET.
In some situaons, however, it may be advanta-
geous to use the back or foot part of the bed
when moving or turning clients. For example, if the client has wide hips and frail
shoulders, he/she will rest more comfortably on the bed if the head and foot parts
are raised a lile before the process.

The VENDLET systems do not reduce the eect of either
pressure-relieving maresses or alternang air maresses. We have performed
pressure measurements which unambiguously show that the VENDLET systems do
not have a negave impact on the pressure-relieving properes of the maresses.
To prevent interference with the funcon of alternang air maresses, the turning
sheet must be suciently slackened before a client is le unaended in the bed.
At the same me, the velcro band on the slide sheet must not be fastened too ghtly
around the steel frame under the maress.
If the alternang air maress is very thick (i.e. approx. 22 cm or more), the VENDLET
must be installed with height extensions.
We recommend that alternang air maresses are rmly inated before paent
handling as this brings higher comfort to the client during the process.

VENDLET can also be used for clients using inconnence sheets. The inconnence
sheet should have a minimum width of 125 cm so that it can follow the client’s move-
ments during turning. You should not use two
small inconnence sheets as the client in this
case will lie on a double edge, which increases
the risk of developing pressure ulcers.
The inconnence sheet must not be wrapped
around the bars, but instead must hang loosely
out over the bars.

If the client has a catheter or a drainage tube, it may be necessary to adjust the tubes,
etc. individually.
Placing the urine bag or drainage tube at the foot of the bed will oen be an opmal
soluon. Should this not be possible, however, you could use long tubes with a view
to hanging the urine bag or drainage bag on the outer surface of the VENDLET
system. In such cases, the bag should be placed on the bed frame by the footboard
and the tube routed between the footboard and the VENDLET bracket. Be careful to
avoid squeezing the tube.

Place a slide sheet directly on top of the maress, followed by the turning sheet
which is then aached to the two bars. Slide sheets and turning sheets are available
in standard bed sizes and with increased width which makes the VENDLET systems
suitable for wider beds as well.

1. Fold the slide sheet corner elasc straps
around the maress.
2. Check that the surface is smooth and even
without creases and folds. Make sure that
slippery side is facing upwards.
3. Fasten the velcro tapes around
the maress frame. It is impor-
tant that the tapes are fastened around
the frame under the maress and not
around the bed frame as this will prevent
the back, thigh, and foot parts of the bed
from being raised. The tapes are long
enough for thick maresses.
The slide sheet is subject to extensive wear
and must be checked regularly. The fricon of
the turning sheet against the maress will increase and the comfort of the client will
be reduced during moving and other forms of handling if the bed is not ed with a
slide sheet or the slide sheet has been damaged.
When an alternang air maress is ed with a slide sheet, it is important that the
velcro tapes are not fastened around the frame under the maress too ghtly as this
could disrupt the funcon of the alternang air maress. Consequently, the maress
should be fully inated during ng.

Aaching the turning sheet before use
1. Place the turning sheet in the middle of
the bed, velcro tape facing downward.
2. Press the turning sheet onto the velcro
strip on one of the bars; begin at the head
of the bed and work your way down to the
foot of the bed.
3. The turning sheet must always
be placed OVER the bars to prevent the
ngers, hair ect. of the client from geng
caught under the sheet. The pulling power
will be reduced and the
motors will switch o when the turning
sheet is pulled in by the bar if the sheet is
placed under the bars.
4. Press the or buon on the hand
control and allow approx. two-thirds of
the sheet to be pulled in by the bar.
5. Press the turning sheet onto the velcro
strip on the opposite bar.
6. Use this bar to pull in the turning sheet by
pressing the or , buon unl the
sheet covers the maress evenly with the
red line at the centre of the maress.
What should I do if the turning sheet is rolled askew on the bars?
Occasionally, the turning sheet will roll askew on the bars. As such, this is insignicant
and the VENDLET system will sll be operable.
This could result in turning sheet creases under the client, however, this is not
desirable. Hence, we recommend that you aim to smooth the turning sheet if the
sheet is askew on the bars by more than a hand’s width.
In this situaon, you will have to slacken the sheet that has been pulled askew and
pull it in again while guiding / smoothing it with your hand.

The VENDLET system should always be installed by a qualied technician. The VEND-
LET systems are only intended for mounng on care and
hospital beds complying with the EN1970, EN60601-2-38, or EN60601-2-52 standard.
The bed must be equipped with a rectangular steel frame with the following
dimensions: Height 45 – 50 mm, width min. 20 mm, and length min. 1950 mm.
Although the VENDLET systems are suitable for mounng on most beds with the
above dimensions, the VENDLET may not be suitable for mounng on some beds.
Before using a VENDLET system with a client, it is important to assess whether the
system is suitable for the given client and whether the situaon at hand requires
special consideraons. For example, it could be necessary to take special precauons
if the client is restless in bed.
Likewise, it must be ensured that the care givers have been trained in the proper use
of the VENDLET.

Tools
You need an Allen key 6 to mount the VENDLET.
Overview of bolts, washers and nuts
The following bolts, washers and nuts are included in the delivery:
Buon head bolts:
8 M10 x 20 mm (for mounng brackets)
NOTE:
Replace the M10 x 20 mm buon head bolts by M10 x 30 mm bolts
if 1 spacer is used.
Replace the M10 x 20 mm buon head bolts by M10 x 40 mm bolts
if 2 spacers are used.
Replace the M10 x 20 mm buon head bolts by M10 x 50 mm bolts
if 3 spacers are used.
Dimensional requirements, side rails
If the bed is equipped with side rails, these must be removed before mounng the
VENDLET. The VENDLET V5S system has been tested and approved to funcon as side
rails in accordance with the requirements of EN60601-2-52.
Mounng the VENDLET you should take the following dimensions into account:

PART 3 - Technical manual PART 3 - Technical manual
30 31
You should always check the maximum load of the bed and ensure that the
combined weight of the client, the VENDLET system and any other equipment
on the bed never exceeds this limit.
H
A distance of 2.5 – 4 cm is required between the maress and the VENDLET on both
sides of the maress, meaning that the dierence between the T and M measures
must be between 5 cm and 8 cm. Likewise, it is important that the maress guides
are suitable for the maress and will hold the maress in place.
In order to meet the side rail requirements, the upper edge of the bars must be
mounted 22 cm above the maress surface, meaning that the H measure must be
between 22 cm and 23 cm.
Maximum loads
The max. user weight for VENDLET V5S and VENDLET V5S Speed Adjust is 200 kg.
The max. user weight for VENDLET V5S+ and VENDLET V5S+ Speed Adjust is 400 kg.
Since the VENDLET systems are always mounted on beds, it is important to consider
the whole soluon.
Unscrew the lower bolt on both mounng
brackets.
Swing the mounng plate upwards

Adjustment of width of mounng brackets
Use up to 3 10 mm spacers if necessary to pull the mounng bracket away from the
bed frame, cf. the “Dimensional side rail requirement” descripon on page 29-30.
Mount the spacers on the mounng bracket with the provided buon head screws
before aaching the mounng bracket to the bed.
One spacer Two spacers and one top plate Three spacers and one top
plate
Spacers are delivered in sets of four for which you need one bolt set.
The bolt set contains the following items:
4 6 x 6 mm buon head For 1 spacer
4 6 x 16 mm buon head For 2 spacers
4 6 x 26 mm buon head For 3 spacers
When using spacers the buon head bolts for support bars and mounng brackets
must be replaced as described on page 29.
You will need to use top plates if you are using 2 or 3 spacers.
Insert the two pins of the top plate in the holes on the top of the second spacer, with
the biggest cutout facing away from the mounng bracket.
Push the spacers towards the mounng bracket contact face and aach them to the
mounng bracket using the buon head screws.
It is now possible to mount the mounng bracket on the bed frame.
Height extension set:
A height extension set will be required when
the height of the bars is insucient, even if
the actuator ngs are placed in the top most
posion.
A height extension set consists of the following
items:
• 4 height extensions
• 4 8 x 40 mm buon head bolts
• 4 8 mm self-locking nuts
• 2 height extension support bars
1. Remove nuts and bolts from the bar brack-

Mounng the control unit
The control unit is mounted under the bed, usu-
ally on the bed frame against the headboard but
could also be placed in other locaons with free
space.
1. Mount the control unit on the suspension
plate with 4 bolts. There are two dierent
possible posions.
2. Raise the head end of the bed and choose
an area under the bed for the control unit.
The suspension plate is able to t bedframes
that are between 1,7 and 4,1 cm wide.
3. Adjust the width of the suspension plate
to suit the current bed frame. Tighten the
suspension plate around the bed frame with
the two ngerscrews.
4. The suspension plate will not t all kind
of beds. If it is not possible to mount the
suspension plate any where the control unit
must be aached with cable es.
Connecng the hand control
Connect the hand control to the control unit in
the plug by this symbol \ on the control
unit. It is possible to connect an extra hand
control in the plug with this symbol \\.
The hand control should always hang on the
outside of the bed such as on the outside of the
headboard.
The hand control should be connected before
the actuator and power cables are connected.
In case you need to replace a faulty hand
control, begin by unplugging the power cable,
replace the hand control and then reconnect the
power cable to the mains outlet.
Suspension plate for the control unit
The control unit is mounted on the
suspension plate. There are two possible
posions.
Tighten the suspension plate around the
bed frame with the two ngerscrews
The hand control is connected to the control

Connecon of cables to control unit
The next step is to connect the actuator cables.
The red side actuator cables have plugs with
green O rings; these are connected to the
green control unit colour codes.
The blue side actuator cables have plugs with
yellow O rings; these are connected to the
yellow control unit colour codes.
The plugs on the blue bar motor cables are
ed with a blue O ring; these are connected
to the blue control unit colour code.
The plugs on the red bar motor cables are
ed with a red O ring; these are connected to
the red control unit colour code.
Connecon of power cables
The last step is to connect the control unit
power cable to an easily accessible 230V mains
plug. The green diode on the control unit
illuminates when the power is turned on.
Keep all cables away from the oor and the
moving parts of the bed. Once the mounng
is complete, all loose cables must be wrapped
around the control unit mounng xture cable
guides and secured to prevent them from
