Sling Information
WARNING!
Invacare shall not be liable for damage or injury that
may occur as a result of using slings made by other
manufacturers.
Invacare shall not be liable for damage or injury due to
incorrect use of the sling or inadequate attention by the
caregiver or user.
–
Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s
healthcare team for the comfort and safety of the
individual that is being lifted. If there is any doubt
about the selection or use of a sling, please contact
your Invacare dealer.
A sling with four to six straps designed for mounting on hooks should
be used when using the ceiling hoist.
Refer to the sling user manual for more details about the slings.
Contact your Invacare Representative for more information.
6.2
Attaching the Sling
CAUTION!
Be careful when attaching the sling on the hooks.
–
Check that the sling straps have been positioned
completely onto the hooks.
–
When pressing the up button to lift the patient, check
again that all the sling straps remain correctly placed
in the hooks.
The sling straps are to be hooked in pairs (one from the back and
one from the leg) on their own suspension hook.
When attaching the sling to the hooks, and the straps are
twisted, the straps will rotate and stretch out, thus ensuring
trouble-free operation.
The information in this section is only a general guideline. Refer
to the Invacare sling DVD and the sling user manuals in how to
apply each of the Invacare sling models. Contact Invacare with any
questions regarding sling attachment.
