1 General Information

Thank you for choosing a Petermann product.

Please read the user manual carefully before using the product for the first time!

The current understanding in modern occupational health and safety is that people in nursing professions

experience significant work-related physical strain. Back injuries are common. There are many situations in which a

patient has to be transferred from a bed, a wheeled stretcher, ambulance stretcher, an X-Ray table or a wheelchair

to a different stretcher or seat. The strain on the user and the patient / care-dependent can be reduced significantly

through the use of slides.

The use of transfer aids should be conditional upon the user having learned to use the equipment properly. The

user has to decide for themselves what equipment is suitable to the patient's situation and the intended sequence

of movements.

Slides are made from a particularly low-friction and hard-wearing polyamide, allowing for easy movement. The

Slides are produced as tubes.

The Slides are part of a product line which is used specifically to aid in the transfer of patients in home care and

other health care facilities, as well as in hospitals.

The product may only be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions.

The Slides are a safe transfer aid, which allows for a transfer which is pleasant and comfortable for the patient as

well as being simple and back-friendly for the users.

The information in this user manual is for the patient who is being transferred and moved, as well as the user

performing the transfer / position change.
