USING THE DPS
3.1
Compatible slings
Important - Warning!
Use only slings intended for the DPS.
The DPS is compatible with slings of the type “clip slings” as
seen on the right.
All 4 attachment points must be used to ensure the right
stability of the DPS.
Make sure all 4 clip fixings are mounted correctly on the
attachment points before carrying out a lift.
If in doubt contact Winncare Nordic for assistance choosing
the right sling.
3.2
Bed to chair
When lifting a patient from a bed the DPS should be
positioned in the lying position.
For a smooth transfer, the c
aregiver can use the bed’s
adjustment functions if available.
Position the patient in a semi-supine position and adjust the
DPS to place the patient in the best position. Doing this
allows easier access to the patient.
3.3
Chair to bed
When lifting a patient from a chair or similar the DPS
should be positioned in the sitting position.
If it is a wheelchair with an anti-tilt function, this can be
used to position the patient.
The DPS can be activated while attaching the sling to allow
easier access to the rear attachment points.
