Manual no: 00871 En Rev 4
ShellHBSling is easy for the caregiver to apply and it gives the patient a feeling of security. It features leg sections, which
means that the patient does not sit on the sling. Instead, the sling provides support from the tailbone up over the head
and under the legs. ShellHBSling has a concave shape and provides excellent support for the head. The sling enables an
upright seated posture that can be regulated via the two sling loop alternatives.
SystemRoMedic includes a wide range of functional, comfortable, high-quality slings that can be adapted for different
types of lifting and for patients with different needs. The slings are available in several different materials and in sizes from
XXS to XXL. All models are safe and very easy to use and are rated for lifting patients weighing up to 300 kg. The choice
of model and material depends on the patient’s needs and the transfer situation.
Visual and mechanical inspection
Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to ensure that
seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the device
and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy load. If there are signs of wear, the product must be
discarded.
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, trial fit the sling carefully. First, apply the sling’s
back loops to the slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been tested.
The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system. Always
check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if you have any questions.
