WARNING
A nurse or professional rehabilitation staff member must inspect slings at least once a
month for signs of damage, loose and missing stitching, and/or tears and excessive
wear that might cause them to fail. If a sling is damaged or overly worn, it must be
thrown away and replaced with an undamaged sling. A permanent record of each of
these inspections and action taken should be kept by the facility. (See Monthly
VANDER-LIFT™ Sling Inspection Checklist at the back of this manual.)
It is important that a nurse or professional rehabilitation staff member
inspects all slings monthly.
WARNING
The VANDER-LIFT II™ must be inspected by qualified maintenance staff at least
monthly for missing parts and excessive wear that might cause the lift to fail. If a
problem is noted, the lift should not be used until repairs have been made by qualified
maintenance staff. A permanent record of each of these inspections and repairs made
should be kept by the facility. (See Monthly VANDER-LIFT II™ Inspection Checklist at
the back of this manual.)
It is important that qualified maintenance staff inspect all VANDER-LIFT
II™ units monthly.
WARNING
Bleach MAY NOT BE USED
as it can weaken the stitching and fabric.
It is important
that the Laundry Department is told how to care for slings correctly.
