Safety Instructions

Intended Use

The

Maxi Sky

2 Plus is a configuration of

Maxi Sky

2 ceiling lift with a Dual Mode specifically

designed for the bariatric population weighing

between 159 kg and to 454 kg, with a Body Mass

Index (BMI) of above 40. The Maxi Sky 2 Plus is

designed to assist caregivers in hospitals, nursing

homes, long-term care and home care

environments, including private homes.
The

Maxi Sky

2 Plus, in Single Mode, can also be

used with non-bariatric patients weighing less than

159 kg.
The

Maxi Sky

2 Plus is a patient handling device

primarily intended to transfer patients of reduced

mobility, to reposition them in bed and for limb

support. In all cases, the proper sling needs to be

selected. It is not intended to transport the patient

over any long distances.
The

Maxi Sky

2 Plus must be operated by trained

caregivers as per the instructions found in this

manual, with adequate knowledge of the care

environment and common patient handling

practices and procedures.

WARNING:

Caregivers must continuously

attend the patient during the usage of the

ceiling lift.

WARNING:

This product is not intended to be

operated by the patient as they might become

helpless in the unit in the unlikely case of a

failure.

WARNING:

The

Maxi Sky

2 Plus must be only

used for the reasons stated above.

Operational Life

The

Maxi Sky

2 Plus has been designed and

tested to a useful life of 10 years or 20,000 cycles

(with a load of 1000 lb/454 kg), whichever comes

first.
It is subject to preventive maintenance as specified

in the "Cleaning the Ceiling Lifts" on page 36.

WARNING:

The manufacturer cannot ensure

full safety for a lift or an accessory of which the

operational life has been exceeded. Wear may

cause the breakage of a part and lead to a

patient falling.

The expected life for other consumable products,

such as batteries, fuses, slings, straps and cords is

dependent upon the care and usage of the product

concerned. Consumables must be maintained in

accordance with published

Instructions For Use

and the

Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:

Arjo warns of possible strangulation

risks related to the lifting strap, the hand control

cable, the accessories’ cable, or the emergency

pull cord, and advises to take necessary

precautions to prevent these.

CAUTION:

Keep all components of the ceiling

lift clean and dry. Have electrical and

mechanical safety checks done as instructed in

the “Care and Maintenance” section to avoid

malfunction of the device.

Keep this manual near the ceiling lift and refer to it

as required. Make sure that all users are regularly

trained in the use of the equipment according to

the information found therein.

CAUTION:

Do not drop either the ceiling lift or

the batteries, as this may cause internal

damage. If the lift is suspected to be damaged,

contact your local Arjo agent.

All controls and safety features are used only as

per the rules specified in this manual. Never

attempt to force a control or button on the ceiling

lift.
