IMPORTANT!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a certain level of risk. Read the instructions for use for both the patient
lift and lifting accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the instructions for use.
The equipment should only be used by a trained caregiver. To be trained, a caregiver needs to read and understand the
Instructions for Use. Ensure that the lifting accessories are suitable for the lift used. Exercise care and caution during use.
As a caregiver, you are always responsible for the patient's safety. You must be aware of the patient's ability to make it
through the lifting situation. If something is unclear, contact the manufacturer or supplier.
Before lifting, keep the following points in mind:
• A responsible person within your organization should decide on a case-by-case basis whether one or more caregivers
are needed.
• Plan the lifting operation so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.
• Make sure that the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney, etc., are locked during the lifting/transfer operation.
• Always work ergonomically. Use the patient's ability to actively participate in the operations.
Make sure that the patient and caregiver stay clear of pinch points and moving parts during a lifting event. Injury could occur.
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk and monitor patients appropriately. Make sure that the patient's head and limbs are not in or
between sling loops during lifting event. Failure to do either of these could cause serious injury or death.
Do not operate, store, or transport the sling in the vicinity of pets, pests, or unattended children!
Incorrect attachment of the straps to the stretcher may cause severe injury to the patient.
Manually turning the patient in bed may cause injuries to the caregiver.
Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting situation!
Never leave children unattended in the vicinity of the sling!
Do not store the sling where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or heat sources, such as a radiator, fireplace, or stove/oven!
