SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Stand Assist Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand assist sling is positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient’s arms are outside the stand assist sling.

Stand Assist Slings: The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury.

Transfer Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transfer sling is at the base of the spine and the patient’s arms are outside the transfer sling.

Transfer Slings: DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transfer sling, otherwise injury may occur.

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 long section 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.

Operating the Lift

Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to confirm proper mounting. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Use the handles to push or pull the patient lift.

Lifting the Patient

Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure that the patient’s feet are out of the way of the foot plate, otherwise injury may occur.

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