Introduction

The Hoyer

®

 Quickfit Deluxe Sling is a development of the Quickfit design to suit 95% of clients. It 

provides a more comfortable and more supportive lift without the need for side suspenders. It is available 

with padding and it is available in five sizes - extra large, large, medium, small and pediatric.

Statement of Intended Use

A sling is an item of moving and handling equipment that is used with a mechanical lift in order to facilitate 

the transfer of a patient. It comprises a specially designed and constructed piece of fabric that is placed 

under and/or around a patient before being attached to the spreader bar/cradle of a lift to raise, transfer 

and lower the patient. When selected and used correctly, a sling and lift combination will achieve a safer 

transfer and reduce the risks associated with manual handling.
It is the responsibility of a competent person to conduct a thorough risk assessment prior to using any 

sling, to ensure that the sling choice, method of positioning in the sling and procedure for transfer has 

been correctly determined for the patient. For further guidance, please contact your authorized Hoyer 

service provider or Joerns Healthcare directly.

FOR USE WITH PASSIVE LIFTS ONLY.

Expected Service Life

The expected service life of a Hoyer sling will vary dependent on use and following the care and washing 

instructions provided in the user guide. Factors such as wash temperature, detergents, frequency of use 

and patient weight will impact on the lifetime of your sling. Joerns Healthcare recommend that slings are 

checked each and every time prior to use to ensure the safety of the patient. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed or 

broken slings are unsafe and must be discarded and replaced.

•  For the safety of the patient and carer; before using a sling a full risk assessment must be 

conducted to ensure that the correct sling choice, method of positioning in the sling and 

procedure for transfer has been determined for the patient.

•  CHECK sling and stitching before each use. Using bleached, torn, cut, frayed or broken slings
