8.1.3 After use
As the washing process is regarded, the slings are classified as accessory of the
standing and raising aid and therefore as medical device. The slings may 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.

position)
Please proceed in the following way to raise a patient from a chair or the bed (patient

1. To raise the patient 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 and fasten the clip fastener of
the belly part. Please make sure to use the correct sling size adjusted to the

3. Spread the legs of the carrier frame and lower the bow completely.
4.
Position the NORA in front of the patient and adjust it so that the patient’s legs are
