SWL: 570 kg/ 1257 lbs
BariSling has been designed for lifting persons weighing 200 kg/440lbs or more. It can be used in combination with mobile or stationary (overhead) lifts, with a four-point slingbar or with a BariTurn. BariSling has six suspension points. It has two slingbar loops at the back and four below, under the legs, to distribute pressure comfortably and safely.
Functional inspection
Visual and mechanical inspection
Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the
product after laundering. Check to ensure that seams and material are free
from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to
the device and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy
load. If there are signs of wear, the product must be discarded.
Always read the manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling,
trial fit the sling carefully. First, apply the sling’s back loops to the
slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been
tested.
BariSling product description
BariSling is designed as a full sling without separate leg supports. It has six slingbar loops to distribute pressure comfortably and safely: two at the back, two below on the outside of the legs, and two between the thighs.
BariSling consists of:
- Rear slingbar loops
- Front slingbar loops
- Leg harness with slingbar loops
- Back and seat section
Using BariSling
Application of BariSling on the patient, horizontal position in bed:
Ideally, the patient should be able to turn him/herself. If this is not
possible, we recommend the use of assistive devices for turning, such as
SafeHandlingSheet, TopSheet or other approved assistive devices for turning.
Place the sling so that the midsection is aligned with the patient’s spine and the lower edge is about 5-10 cm above the hollow of the knee. Place the edge of the sling as far in under the patient as possible.
Turn the patient back, so that the sling can be pulled forward and adjusted. The leg supports are then drawn up between the knees. Check to ensure that the sling is evenly distributed on both sides.
If possible, raise the head of the bed before lifting.
Application of BariSling on the patient, seated position at the bedside:
The patient leans to one side of the bed and the BariSling is placed centred
under the seat, as far back under the patient as possible, with the mid-
section under the crotch.
Place the sling so that the mid-section is aligned with the patient’s spine and the lower edge is about 5-10 cm above the hollow of the knee. Place the edge of the sling as far in under the patient as possible.
When the BariSling is correctly positioned, the patient sits up again and turns to the other side, so that the sling can be pulled forward and adjusted. The leg supports are then drawn up between the knees. Check to ensure that the sling is evenly distributed on both sides.
Application on a four-point slingbar:
When lifting with a mobile or overhead lift unit, the use of a four-point
slingbar is recommended. First, apply the rear loops to the wider side of the
slingbar, and then the front loops to the narrower side.
Application on BariTurn:
BariTurn is a turning plate that can be used in combination with two lift
units to assist lifting while turning.
First, connect the four lower loops to the slingbar on one lift unit, and then
connect the two rear loops to the slingbar on the other lift unit.
Lifting:
Prepare the patient for lifting; explain what is about to happen. Never leave
the patient unattended during a transfer situation and always be attentive to
the patient’s signals. Begin lifting. Stop lifting when all lift straps are
taut and check to ensure that everything is as it should be before continuing.
Stop lifting if the patient is uncomfortable.
The sling is left in the chair under the patient.
Removing BariSling
Horizontal position in bed
Lower the patient to the bed and disconnect the lift straps from the slingbar.
The patient turns first to one side of the bed, so that the BariSling can be
tucked in under the patient’s back. The patient then turns to the other side
and the BariSling is removed.
Lifetime information & Periodic inspection
The product has an expected lifetime depending on how the product is used
according to the manual instructions.
The service life of the product varies depending on usage frequency, washing,
drying, etc. Please be sure to read the product label and follow the care
instructions for this product on

The periodic inspection of the non-rigid body support unit should be performed at the timestamps stated by the manufacturer, but at least every 6 months to be sure. More frequently inspections may be required if a non-rigid body support unit is used or cleaned more frequently than advised by the manufacturer. The periodic inspection instructions for this product are found on www.directhealthcaregroup.com
Safe working load
Different products on the same lift system (lift unit, slingbar, sling, scales and other lifting accessories) may have different allowable safe working loads. The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system. Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if you have any questions.
NOTE! Recommended for use with four-point slingbar or BariTurn.
Material:
Polyester: Durable material with low friction.
Care of the product:
Do not use rinsing agent. To ensure maximum material life, hang dry or tumble dry on low heat.
NOTE!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a degree of risk. Always
make sure that the patient’s health permits lifting. When in doubt, do not
proceed with lifting. The caregiver is always responsible for the patient’s
safety.
