Before lifting, keep the following points in mind:
•
Note that the sling’s geometry changes when you attach Extension Loops to individual strap loops. A change to the sling’s
geometry can affect safety, so be careful during the testing phase, which is to be conducted by an authorized prescriber.
•
Check to make sure that the Extension Loops are correctly attached to the sling / lifting accessories before each lift. Be
especially attentive after washing.
•
Although the Liko sling bars are equipped with latches, special caution must be exercised. Before the patient is lifted from
the underlying surface, but when the straps are fully extended, make sure the straps are correctly connected to the sling
bar hooks.
• Always work ergonomically. Use the patient’s ability to actively participate in the operations.
• When the sling is not being used, do not place in direct sun light.
Incorrect attachment of sling to slingbar may cause severe injury to the patient.
Manually turning the patient in bed may cause injuries to the caregiver.
