pressure evenly and prevents the sling from creasing under
the thighs.
The guide loops on the side of the sling assure correct
positioning of the leg supports and help to prevent the opening
for the seat from widening, thus providing added security
during lifting. The arms are held inside the sling.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the "patient" and the person helping them is referred to as the "caregiver".
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.
