CLEANING

Regular cleaning is recommended every three months; clean the lift more often as needed. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of time.

sNOTICE: DO NOT wash patient lift under water pressure or steam clean.

CARE OF SLINGS

Lumex slings are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes. The head support’s plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be air dried or dried by using a dryer on LOW heat.

sNOTICE: DO NOT bleach slings!
