Using the VERA-LIFT
with Other Manufacturer's Equipment
WARNING
VERA-LIFT™ slings may be used with the VERA-LIFT™ only. Using other manufacturer's
patient lifts with VERA-LIFT™ slings is also prohibited.
Back Belt and Sling Care
When belts are soiled or contaminated, they should be washed with mild detergent in cold
or warm water only.
Laundering Instructions
1) Standard VERA back belts and sitting slings may be tumble-dried on the "delicate"
temperature cycle in the dryer. If the dryer in your facility does not have a "delicate"
cycle, slings should be hung to air dry.
2) "C" Cloth back belts and sitting slings may be washed in water temperature up to 167° F
(75° C). Do not bleach. Air dry or dry at temperature below 167°. Inspect with each use.
3) "H" Cloth back belts and sitting slings may be washed in water temperature up to 200° F
(93° C). Do not bleach. Air dry or dry at temperature below 200°. Inspect with each use.
WARNING
Bleach MAY NOT BE USED as it can weaken the stitching and fabric. It is important
that the Laundry Department is told how to care for belts correctly.
Pre-Use and Monthly Inspections
VANCARE lifts are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the safety requirements
for patient care equipment. In addition, they have been tested and listed by a nationally
recognized testing laboratory, MET Labs., to insure their safety. It is important, however,
that you know that materials can fail due to normal wear caused by use over time. Doing
the inspections described below will help your facility make sure that lifts, back belts and
slings are kept in safe working condition and that potential problems are noted before
hazardous conditions result.
