8.1.3 After use
As the washing process is regarded, the slings are classified as accessory of the sit-to-
stand lift and therefore as medical device. The slings may only be cleaned and
disinfected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
During the washing and drying, no mechanical pressure must be applied, such as dry
press, rotary iron. This could damage the sling parts and impair the operation and the
safety of the sling or even destroy the sling.
The sling straps and the slings must be checked and, if required, cleaned after each
use. The washing temperatures must not exceed the temperature specified on the sling
(60 °C). Please use common household detergents only. Do not iron hot. The plastic
clips must be checked for possible damages after each wash.
8.2 Raising the patient from a chair or the bed (sitting
position)
CAUTION
Each lifting or transfer procedure must be adequately planned to
ensure an optimal protection for the caregiver and the resident.
•
Lift the patient/resident into a safe standing position and make
the transfer as short as possible.
•
Avoid slippery surfaces and thresholds and do not move the
product over sloping or uneven floors.
•
Make sure that the resident is not hurt by the door frame when
passing through doors.
CAUTION
Activate the brakes of the castors of the wheelchair, the
healthcare bed, the stretcher, etc. to ensure a safe lifting and
positioning of the resident.
To transfer a patient / resident from a chair or bed (sitting position of the patient),
proceed as follows (see also illustrations under point 8.3):
1. To raise the patient/resident from the bed, set the patient upright in the bed and turn
him/her so that the feet touch the ground, and the patient has a stable sitting
position.
2. Wrap the backside of the sling around the patient/resident and fasten the clip
fastener of the belly part. Please make sure to use the correct sling size adjusted to
the patient and check that the patient’s arms are located outside the sling.
3. Spread the legs of the carrier frame and lower the spreader bar completely.
4. Position the NORA in front
of the patient and adjust it so that the patient’s legs are
resting on the 3D-Comfort-System and form a right angle with the thighs. The
patient’s feet must be located in the middle of the footplate.
