2.10.2 Attachment to the hoist
Read these instructions carefully before using the sling.
Always check the sling for damage and wear.
It is essential that you fully understand how the sling
must be hung from the cradle.
UCP-clip (C)
1.
Hold the clip strip with one hand, and pull the large hole
of the clip over the head of the attachment point/hook
point on the hoist, check that the strap (with which the
clip is attached to the sling) is not twisted.
2.
Grasp the strap under the clip of the sling and pull it
down
3.
Pull the clip so that the hook point is securely held. The
hook point is now locked in the hole at the top of the clip.
iQ clip (Q)
1.
Before attaching (and removing) the clip, release the
tension from the sling. Hold the clip with one hand and
push the latch open with your thumb. You can also press
the clip over the hook point instead of opening it first.
Check that the strap that holds the clip on the sling is not
twisted.
2.
Hook the clip over the hook point and pull it down. The
clip will click.
3.
The clip is now locked and secured. Due to the tension on
the sling, the clip can never come off. Half mounting isn’t
possible thanks to the design of clip.
Loops (P)
1.
Affix the sling to the user. The leg flaps must be
connected to the spreader bar crosswise or both through
a middle loop.
2.
Use the long loop for legs and short for shoulders for
sitting position and the short loop for legs and long for
shoulder for laying position.
3.
Hook the loops onto the spreader bar. Make sure the
locking clip closes after applying the loop.
2.10.3 Shapes and Sizes
Different people, use and transfers require different slings. An
overview of the possible types of sling and their usability is shown
in the table 4.4 p.18.
The following issues play a role in the dimensions of the slings:
weight, height and size of the patient, degree of stability of the hip,
pain, amputation etc.
Standard United Care slings have a maximum
lifting weight of 230 kg (unless stated otherwise).
2.10.4 Sling Washing Instructions
Every United Care sling has a label on which
the washing instructions are displayed. Such
a label is shown in the picture on the right.
This shows the model, material, size and type
of attachment of the sling. The serial number
of the sling is sewn on top of the label on the
right.
You can see how the slings can be washed.
This can sometimes be different due to the
use of different types of materials.
Remove the plastic ribs from the sling before
it is washed or disinfected. When
disinfecting, use the correct concentration as
indicated on the package of the product. The
sling must be washed in a laundry bag.
It is important that the sling is in good
condition. The condition of a sling is partly determined by
the way in which it is washed or disinfected.
Always check the sling before and after washing for wear
and defects.
