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.
