Comentário sobre Kelim 18:6
מִטָּה שֶׁהָיְתָה טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס, נִשְׁבְּרָה אֲרֻכָּה וְתִקְּנָהּ, טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס. נִשְׁבְּרָה שְׁנִיָּה וְתִקְּנָהּ, טְהוֹרָה מִן הַמִּדְרָס, אֲבָל טְמֵאָה מַגַּע מִדְרָס. לֹא הִסְפִּיק לְתַקֵּן אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה עַד שֶׁנִּשְׁבְּרָה שְׁנִיָּה, טְהוֹרָה:
Uma cama que contraiu a impureza dos midras : se o lado mais comprido foi quebrado e ele o reparou, ele ainda mantém a impureza dos midras . Se o segundo lado também foi quebrado e ele o reparou, ele se purifica da impureza dos midras , mas é impuro devido ao contato com [um objeto impuro através dos] midras . Se ele não teve a chance de reparar o primeiro lado antes do segundo lado quebrar, a cama se tornará pura.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
ותיקנה טמאה מדרס – it still stands in its defilement/impurity, since the second side exists.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
Introduction
Our mishnah continues to deal with a bed that has contracted midras impurity. In order to understand this mishnah we should note that there is a difference between "midras impurity" and "contact with midras." Midras impurity is a "father of impurity" and it defiles other things. "Contact with midras" is a first degree impurity and its defiling powers are limited.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
טהורה מן המדרס – even though the first was repaired prior to the second side being broken. Nevertheless, it is ritually pure/clean, for new faces had appeared here, for after it went down through the defilement of treading/Midras, these faces renewed themselves and this is not the first, for after it had been ruined enough in order that it be voided.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A bed that had contracted midras impurity:
If a long side of it was broken and then he repaired it, it still retains its midras impurity. If the long side broke and then he repaired it, the bed still retains its madras impurity.
If a long side of it was broken and then he repaired it, it still retains its midras impurity. If the long side broke and then he repaired it, the bed still retains its madras impurity.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
אבל טמאה מגע מדרס – because the long side of the bedstead was first when it was broken and fixed and he brought a new long side in place of the broken one and attached it below, it became defiled through contact via treading/Midras, for it (the person with gonorrhea) had touched the bed who was impure through treading, and when the second [board] was broken, that it sprouting from it the defilement of treading, there remained in it the defilement of contact, for the entire bed is connected to the first board when it was fixed.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If the second side was also broke and then he repaired it, it becomes pure from midras impurity but is unclean by virtue of contact with midras. However, if the second long side broke and then he repaired it as well, the bed sheds its original midras impurity because it is considered new. In other words, when does a repaired bed become a new bed? When both long sides were fixed. Although the original midras impurity is gone, the bed does have a lesser degree of impurity because it was in contact with something that had midras impurity. I shall explain. When the first long side was repaired and put back into the bed it contacted impurity from the rest of the bed. And even when the second side broke, and the bed lost the impurity it had by being in contact with a zav, it does not lose the impurity it had by being in contact with other impure parts of the bed. This is because the bed continued to be usable.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
עד שנשברה שניה טהורה ([if one did not have the time to repair the first] before the second was broken – it – the bed is pure) – for since the two long bedsteads were broken, they are no longer fit for use. And it is not similar to where it was taken apart and all of it exists, for there, it will be eventually be put back together with its fellow parts.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If before one could manage to repair the first side the second one broke, the bed becomes clean. If both sides were broken at the same time, then the bed is completely pure, even from contact with midras. This is because when both sides are broken, the bed cannot be used.
