7.11 Impact and Jamming Protection (hoist motor)
The electrical motor (hoist motor) features an integrated impact and jamming
protection (freewheeling). This feature avoids jamming, pinching and/or crushing
dangers when the spreader bar of the CARLO ALU strikes or encounters an obstacle.
The motor runs free until the obstacle is removed or the CARLO ALU is moved away
from the obstacle.
After the obstacle has been removed, the spreader bar could start lowering
autonomously. Therefore, you must immediately release the button of the handset as
soon as you have noticed that an obstacle has been encountered.
8 Operation
8.1 Sling Operating Manual
Important note:
The normal service life of BEKA-slings is approx. 36 months from the date of
production (marked on the sling). The specified service life is only applicable, when the
BEKA-slings are cleaned, maintained and inspected in accordance with the
instructions contained in the following documentation.
8.1.1 Prior to Use
The slings must be checked before and after each use and, if necessary, be washed in
accordance with the manual. This is prescribed in particular to reduce the risk of
infections to an absolute minimum, in the event that the same equipment is used for
other residents or patients.
Prior to each use, a thorough check of the sling including the loops and the fastening
clips is imperatively required. If the sling or the loops would be frayed, cut-in or
damaged, or the clips would be damaged, the sling no longer must be used.
Please make sure that a sling of the correct size is used for the resident.
Prior to lifting the patient or the resident, the situation must be assessed by a qualified
employee or a therapist. This also applies to care-dependent persons with limited or
reduced shoulder mobility or for patients who are unable to hold themselves with one
or both hands.
8.1.2 During Use
Check that the sling fittings at the sling hoist match the sling clips.
The use of incompatible (i.e. non-BEKA Hospitec) slings can cause accidents!
Check that the sling is not twisted when attaching the sling. Always check that the
sling clips are correctly attached prior to and during the lifting procedure and that they
are tensioned while supporting the patient’s weight. Check that the sling is not too tight
and that the patie nt’s arms are inside the sling.
