2.2.5 Using the Sling

WARNING!
-Use an Invacare-approved sling recommended by the individual's doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and
safety of the individual being lifted.
-DO NOT use any kind of plastic-back incontinence pad or seating cushion between the patient and the 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 the sling(s) for wear, tears,
and loose stitching.
-Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard them immediately.
-DO NOT alter the slings.
-Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to ensure 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 forward or backward.
-When connecting slings equipped with color-coded straps to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the
back of the patient for support. Using the long section will leave little or no support for the patient's back. The loops of
the sling are color coded and can be used to place the patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect
both sides of the sling equally. Make sure there is sufficient head support when lifting a patient.
