The VENDLET may be used for moving clients to a lateral, prone, or supine posion,
from one side of the bed to the other, or, to reposion them further up in bed. The
VENDLET may also be used in connecon with mobilisaon in and out of bed and
when transferring clients from one bed to another.
The VENDLET protect the caregiver from physical strain and heavy liing 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 posioning. This provides room for increased awareness in the care,
which boosts employee job sasfacon 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 oen be clients who are lied 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
cognive resources and palliave 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 fricon and the associated
shear that can damage the ssue and cause pressure ulcers. Furthermore, the
VENDLETs oen seem to have a posive eect on clients suering from spaal 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 / paents.
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 queson. It may be necessary to take special precauons, 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 aach 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 fricon of the
turning sheet against the maress.
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 maress, 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.

When the bars are raised VENDLET can be used as side rails.
Note! This applies only to the VENDLET models that this manual covers.
The VENDLET are switched on by double-clicking the on the hand control. The
VENDLET produce a “beep” upon acvaon and the green diode over the power
symbol turns on.
When a VENDLET has been inacve 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 direcons or
raised or lowered. The colour coding on the bars relates to the colours on the hand
control buons.
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 buons long enough to obtain the desired operaon;
the motors will stop when the buon is released. Likewise, you may stop an acvated

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” secon 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 posion
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 mounng height restricon
brackets, see page 38-39.
Height extensions, spacers and brackets:
If parcularly thick maresses 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 maress is insucient, see page 34. Spacers and height
extensions are available as accessories.
Brackets that makes installaon on dierent 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.
Baery backup and under bed light:
Addionally, a baery 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 acvated
via the VENDLET hand control, see page 38.
VENDLET are intended for mounng on a wide range of hospital and care beds and
with a wide range of maresses.
The following bed and maress 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 installaon 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 maress must meet the requirements of the bed manufacturer and be suit-
able for the bed.
2. The maximum occupant weight requirements of the maress manufacturer must
not be exceeded.
3. Following the installaon of the VENDLET, the distance between the maress
sides and the support bar must be minimum 2.5 cm and maximum 4 cm.
4. If the maress is so and easily compressible, it must be ensured that there is
no crush hazard due to extra compression at the edge of the maress.
5. When alternang air maresses are used, it should be possible to inate the
maress to a rm state before the VENDLET is operated. So maresses will in-
crease the fricon against the maress 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 maresses, the VENDLET installaon must be evaluated.
A new maress might change the condions and necessitate the reinstallaon 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 parcularly long
bed frame, which means that the
actuator may collide with the bed
brake, when the bed is lowered.
Further, the maress 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 liming 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 signicantly
extended if the product is used and handled with care and maintained in accordance
with the guidelines in this manual.
In case of an adverse event or a near-accident involving the VENDLET system, the
accident must be reported to the competent authority in the country in which the ac-
cident happened and to the Danish Health and Medicines Authority.
Likewise, we kindly request that you also inform Vendlet ApS on tel. +45 9631 0050 or

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 leng 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 posion to lying on his/her right side:
1. Double-click the buon to acvate the VENDLET.
2. Press the buon to raise the blue bar.
3. If necessary, press once or twice on to reduce speed (Speed Adjust).
4. Press the buon 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 aer 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 reposioning.

Reposioning the client up in the bed
It is a well-known problem that clients oen 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 acvated 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 situaons, you may use the VENDLET to move the cli-
ent up in the bed again.
1. Double-click the buon to acvate the VENDLET.
2. Press the and buons 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 buons to slacken the turning sheet.
5. Stand next to the headboard and press the or buon 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 unl the sheet has been
completely reposioned 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 buon to
acvate VENDLET.
2. Use the turning funcon 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 instrucons
of the sling manufacturer.
4. Use the VENDLET turning funcon
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
liing beam of the hoist.

Transferring from one bed to another
When the client lies in a VENDLET, the VENDLET - in combinaon with a slide board
and a slide sheet - may be used to transferring the client onto another bed.
1. First use VENDLET’s turning funcon 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 buon to lower the bar facing the other bed.
3. Press the or buon 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 posion relave to the bed with the VENDLET.
6. Remember to lock the wheels on both beds.
7. Press the or buon 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 esmated that the bedridden must use side rails, the VENDLET models descri-
bed in this manual, have an integrated side rail.
1. Press the and buon
to raise the bar to the highest
posion.
2. Press the and buon to
slacken the sheet before the cli-
ent is le unaended in the bed.
Note: All previous VENDLET models
require the use of plasc plates! VENDLET V5S, VENDLET V5S+ , VENDLET V5S

Neither the VENDLET interferes with the func-
onality of the bed. Slacken the turning sheet
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 situaons, 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 lile before the process.
The power buon also funcons as a stop buon.
If the hand control buon controlling the ghtening of the sheet fails, the operaon
can be stopped by pressing the buon.
The VENDLET systems do not reduce the eect of either
pressure-relieving maresses or alternang air maresses. We have performed
pressure measurements which unambiguously show that the VENDLET systems do
not have a negave impact on the pressure-relieving properes of the maresses.
To prevent interference with the funcon of alternang air maresses, the turning
sheet must be suciently slackened before a client is le unaended 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 maress.
If the alternang air maress is very thick (i.e. approx. 22 cm or more), the VENDLET
must be installed with height extensions.
We recommend that alternang air maresses are rmly inated before paent
handling as this brings higher comfort to the client during the process.
VENDLET can also be used for clients using inconnence sheets. The inconnence
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 inconnence sheets as the client in this
case will lie on a double edge, which increases
the risk of developing pressure ulcers.
The inconnence 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 oen be an opmal
soluon. 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 maress, followed by the turning sheet
which is then aached 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.

400 cm 115 cm 95-110 cm
450 cm 135 cm 115-130 cm
You can also purchase disposable turnings sheets and slide sheets. The disposable
sheets are only avalible in one size.
1. Fold the slide sheet corner elasc straps
around the maress.
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 maress frame. It is impor-
tant that the tapes are fastened around
the frame under the maress 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 maresses.
The slide sheet is subject to extensive wear
and must be checked regularly. The fricon of
the turning sheet against the maress 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 alternang air maress is ed with a slide sheet, it is important that the
velcro tapes are not fastened around the frame under the maress too ghtly as this
could disrupt the funcon of the alternang air maress. Consequently, the maress
should be fully inated during ng.
Aaching 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 geng
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 buon 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 , buon unl the
sheet covers the maress evenly with the
red line at the centre of the maress.
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 insignicant
and the VENDLET system will sll 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 situaon, you will have to slacken the sheet that has been pulled askew and
pull it in again while guiding / smoothing it with your hand.

remaining part of the new turning
sheet in layers of 15 cm and place it
under the turning sheet being
replaced.
4. Move the client to a supine posion on
top of the folded new and old
turning sheets, and then on to the
opposite side by acvang the bar

The VENDLET system should always be installed by a qualied technician. The VEND-
LET systems are only intended for mounng 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 mounng on most beds with the
above dimensions, the VENDLET may not be suitable for mounng 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 situaon at hand requires
special consideraons. For example, it could be necessary to take special precauons
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:
Buon head bolts:
8 M10 x 20 mm (for mounng brackets)
NOTE:
Replace the M10 x 20 mm buon head bolts by M10 x 30 mm bolts
if 1 spacer is used.
Replace the M10 x 20 mm buon head bolts by M10 x 40 mm bolts
if 2 spacers are used.
Replace the M10 x 20 mm buon 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 mounng the
VENDLET. The VENDLET V5S system has been tested and approved to funcon as side
rails in accordance with the requirements of EN60601-2-52.
Mounng the VENDLET you should take the following dimensions into account:
PART 3 - Technical manual PART 3 - Technical manual

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 maress and the VENDLET on both
sides of the maress, meaning that the dierence between the T and M measures
must be between 5 cm and 8 cm. Likewise, it is important that the maress guides
are suitable for the maress and will hold the maress in place.
In order to meet the side rail requirements, the upper edge of the bars must be
mounted 22 cm above the maress 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 soluon.
Unscrew the lower bolt on both mounng
brackets.
Swing the mounng plate upwards
Place the side on the bed with mounng
brackets resng on the bed frame
Aaching a side
The cables for the actuators on each side have dierent color-coding. Mount the side
with green O-ring on the bed at the client’s right side. Mount the side with yellow O-
ring on the bed at the clients le side.
Place the side on the bed with mounng
brackets resng on the bed frame
Remember to account for the distance between VENDLET and the maress. If the
distance is too small (<2.5 cm), spacers must be used - see the “Adjustment of width
of mounng brackets”. Swing the mounng plate back into place Screw the removed bolt loosely at both ends

Adjustment of width of mounng brackets
Use up to 3 10 mm spacers if necessary to pull the mounng bracket away from the
bed frame, cf. the “Dimensional side rail requirement” descripon on page 29-30.
Mount the spacers on the mounng bracket with the provided buon head screws
before aaching the mounng 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 buon head For 1 spacer
4 6 x 16 mm buon head For 2 spacers
4 6 x 26 mm buon head For 3 spacers
When using spacers the buon head bolts for support bars and mounng 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 mounng bracket.
Push the spacers towards the mounng bracket contact face and aach them to the
mounng bracket using the buon head screws.
It is now possible to mount the mounng bracket on the bed frame.

Mounng 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 locaons with free
space.
1. Mount the control unit on the suspension
plate with 4 bolts. There are two dierent
possible posions.
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 aached with cable es.
Connecng 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
posions.
Tighten the suspension plate around the
bed frame with the two ngerscrews
The hand control is connected to the control
unit
Connecon 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.
Connecon 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 mounng
is complete, all loose cables must be wrapped
around the control unit mounng xture cable
guides and secured to prevent them from
falling on the oor or geng pinched by the
moving parts of the bed.
Proper plug locaon
The green diode on the control unit is
illuminated
All cables must be kept away from the oor
The cables can also be aached to the bedframe with cable es next to the control
unit.
Please refer to page 22-23 for instrucons on how to aach the sheets.

The quick guide should always be placed where it will be visible from the bed and in
proximity to the bed.
It is possible to upgrade a VENDLET V5S and a VENDLET V5S+ to a VENDLET V5S
Speed Adjust or a VENDLET V5S+ Speed Adjust. It requires the purchase of a new
hand control and perhaps a new control unit. Please, contact Vendlet ApS for more
informaon.
If VENDLET is to be used in places where it can not
always be conneced to the power system, it is possible
to aach a baery.
Under bed light can be connected and is operated by
the hand control.
On some bed types the VENDLET system can conict
with the bed wheels or brake when the bed is lowered.
The height restricon bracket ensure that the bed can
not be lowered too much to create a conict.
The height limiter can be mounted on all beds with the
LINAK LA31 height adjustment motor, including:
• Invacare: SB750, SB750W, SB755 (85 and 90 cm),
SB900 (2 units), SB 910 (2 units)
• Comfort System
• KR Opus
Always perform a nal inspecon aer compleng the installaon. The nal
inspecon is carried out by following the checklist below. The list may also be
downloaded at www.vendlet.com.
The desired result of the procedure is a situaon where all ”Yes” checkboxes have
been marked. If one or more “No” checkboxes have been marked, the maer should
be invesgated and you should consider stop using the VENDLET unl the situaon
has been remedied and a soluon found.
The height restricon bracket can not be used for the
Guldmann GB4 care bed. Instead, this height restric-
on switch must be used for this type of bed.
The actuator turn ng makes it possible to turn the
actuator 90° so that the plasc housing of the actuator
does not bump against the bed’s brakes, wheels, etc.
You need to mount special brackets on a Volker 3080
bed before you can mount a VENDLET-system.
The transport and mounng trolley for VENDLET pro-
vides beer protecon of the VENDLET during trans-
port and simplies the enre mounng and transport
situaon.
