Solo RepoSheet

Generous • 7EN161108 Rev. 3
Before lifting, remember the following
!
Definitions
User Description
Place the upper edge of the sheet even with the head section of the
bed. The longer end of the RepoSheet accessory should be at the foot
section of the bed. The patient’s pillow should be placed under the
patient’s head (i.e., on top of the RepoSheet accessory).
One placement of Solo RepoSheet Generous accessory is good for
about 3-5 repositionings before it is time for re-bedding.
Lifting further up in the bed
Connect the strap loops:
Connect the strap loops to each side of the sling bar. Use the lift straps that lift the head and all the lift straps
that lift the body down to the hollow of the knees (4-5 pairs of straps is usual). Lifting with the lift straps under the hollow of the knees
can cause over-extension of the knee-joint. When it is also necessary to lift the calves, (for example when transferring between two beds)
particular care must be taken so that over-extension of the knee-joints does not occur.
Lifting:
Lift so that the patient is free of the mattress and can be moved up to the desired position in the bed. During repositioning, the
caregivers should hold on to the sling bar and/or support the patient from the underneath.
Do not pull the lift straps!
Lower, disconnect
and smooth out the Solo RepoSheet accessory.
Alternative:
In some cases, particularly if you want to lift the patient in as a straight position as possible, it may be better to use SideBars
and distribute the strap loops on the SideBar’s hooks instead, see the small illustration (although not during the “turning” operation
when only one side of the Solo RepoSheet accessory’s lift straps are carrying weight).

Positioning of Solo RepoSheet Generous accessory
• A responsible person within your organization should decide on a case-by-
case basis whether one or more caregivers are needed.
• Plan the lifting operation before the lift to make it as safe and convenient
as possible.
• Before lifting, check that the lifting accessory hangs vertically and can
move freely.
• Although Liko’s sling bars are equipped with latches, special caution must
be exercised: Before the patient is lifted from the underlying surface, but
after the straps have been fully extended, make sure the strap loops are
properly connected to the sling bar.
• Never lift a patient higher off the underlying surface than is needed to
complete the lifting and transfer procedure.
• Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting situation.
• The wheels on the bed must be locked during lifting/transfer operation,
the recommendation applies in particular when turning patients.
• Put the bed rails up during turning, particularly if only one caregiver carries
out the procedure.
• Make sure that the RepoSheet lifting accessory’s unconnected strap loops
do not become stuck, for example, in the bed during use.
• During transfers, the caregivers should hold on to the sling bar and/or
support the patient from underneath. Avoid pulling the lift straps as that
can damage the RepoSheet lifting accessory.
