Contra-indications
There are no contra indications associated with the use of the ranges of Slings
manufactured. The sling is transient in its use and only in contact with uncovered
skin for a very short period (5 to 10 minutes’ maximum), the sling is not an active
device and is non-invasive.
Cautions
There are no user medical cautions but as will all devices, the IFU should be read at all
times and the limitations of the device understood regarding the usability of the slings.
Intended use
This is derived through the information on the previous pages.
Product end of life considerations – Disposal
Please observe the local laws on recycling and respect the current laws for disposal
within the community the device is being used within.
The relevant components utilised in the manufacture of the device that can be
recycled at the end of the device life are:
Fully recyclables:
•
Plastic clips and mouldings
•
Initial packaging of the device (Cardboard / Polythene)
Components that are not recyclable:
•
Sling textile – this is currently not recyclable
Contamination control – Return of product
Should there be a requirement to return this product it needs to be in a clean
condition and should not be soiled. Return of “contaminated” product will put the
health of individuals who are involved with the return process, both delivery and
manufacturing staff, in jeopardy.
Sling Compatibility
Whilst we recommend the use of the sling with the range of hoists manufactured by
Prism Medical, there is no reason to assume the sling will not be compatible with
other devices in the field manufactured by different companies. However, we do
recommend you do a full risk assessment of the compatibility before using the sling
with another manufactured device. Alternatively, please call the number for
customer services indicated on this user manual for further information.
Connection to the hoist system
Please refer to the user manual of the selected hoist to ascertain the correct
connection method to use for the sling.
