Invacare 9805P manual Using the Sling, Lifting the Patient

Page 11

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

If the patient lift is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on patient lift handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.

Using the Sling

Use an Invacare approved sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.

DO NOT use any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during transfer.

After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching.

Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard

IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT alter slings.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).

If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards.

When connecting slings equipped with color coded straps to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back of patient for support. Using longer straps will leave little or no support for patientʹs back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head support when lifting a patient.

Lifting the Patient

When using an adjustable base lift, the legs MUST be in the maximum Opened/Locked position before lifting the patient.

When the sling is elevated a few inches off the surface of the bed and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower the patient back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patientʹs arms should be inside of the straps.

Invacare slings are made specifically for use with Invacare Patient Lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and patient lifts of different manufacturers.
