Actions Before First Use
NOTE: Batteries need to be charged for a
minimum of 8 hours prior to the initial use of the
lift.
Always ensure that a weight load test has been
performed on the track, as per Arjo's instructions.
Actions Before Every Use
Always ensure that:
• The
Maxi Sky
2 Plus
display shows that the
battery charge level is within the normal
operating range and able to perform a
transfer (see "Battery Information" on page
13).
• The product is being used by trained
caregivers.
NOTE: The need for more than one caregiver to
transfer or reposition the patient must be
assessed in each individual case. Arjo
recommends that two or more caregivers be
involved when performing transfers with bariatric
patients.
WARNING:
Prior to any type of patient
handling, a clinical assessment to determine
the patient’s suitability must be carried out by a
qualified health professional according to the
following criteria:
• Weight
• Mobility level (including head and body
stability)
• Medical conditions
• Ability to understand and respond to
instructions
Among other things, the transfer may induce
substantial pressure on the patient’s body that
can degrade the patient’s health condition.
• Special consideration is taken when
transferring a patient who is connected to
electrodes, catheters, or other medical
devices.
WARNING:
Before transferring a patient, make
sure there are no obstacles in the transfer path
or injuries could occur.
• The sling has been inspected.
• The lifting procedures found in this manual
will be followed.
• The daily maintenance has been carried out
before using the ceiling lift and that attention
has been paid to the following elements:
The straps were inspected for wear,
discoloration or loose threads.
All sling parts (attachments, fabric,
stitch areas and straps) have been
inspected for signs of wear,
discoloration, deterioration or loose
threads.
The spreader bar has been inspected
for damage or cracks, that all
attachments are properly secured, and
that all the quick connect’s components
(cover and latch) are present.
• An inspection for evidence of external
damage, missing parts or broken panels
has been carried out.
• Make sure all end stoppers and end caps
are present in the track.
WARNING:
Ensure that there is no objects in
the path of the straps. This could damage or cut
the straps, causing a patient to fall.
