Safety Precautions

To be aware of

The manual for both lift and sling must be read thoroughly before use to avoid injury when handling and using the product.

It is important that the sling has been tested with the individual user and for the intended lifting situation. Make a decision on whether one or more assistants are required.

Plan the lifting operation in advance to ensure that it is as safe and smooth as possible. Remember to work ergonomically.

Assess the risks and take notes. You as a career are responsible for the safety of the user.

Never lift a user higher from the starting point than what is necessary to carry out a sit to stand transfer. Never leave the user unattended in a lifting situation.

Always check

that the user has the required ability for the sling in question
that the model, size and material are suitable
that the sling is suitable for the lift/suspension to be used.
It is important to check that the sling ropes are correctly attached to the suspension before lifting the user.
Make sure wheels on the wheelchair, bed or bunk are locked when necessary during the transfer process.

Inspection

The sling must be inspected regularly, preferably prior to each lifting operation but especially after it has been washed.

Check to ensure that there is no wear or damage to seams, fabric, straps and loops.

Never use a faulty or damaged sling as it can break and cause personal injury. Destroy and discard damaged and old slings.

The sling should not be stored in direct sunlight.

Periodic inspection

Periodic inspection must be carried out at least every 6 months. More regular inspection may be required if the sling is used or washed more often than is normal. See the periodic inspection form at www.molift.com.

Overview

Sling application

Hold the sling with one hand and use the other hand to support the patient while leaning him forward. Slide the sling down behind the user’s back. Place the sling approximately in waist height on the back.
It is recommended to be two assistants when applying RgoSling with support. Place the support under the user. This is easier if the patient can lean forward. The support should hang loosely behind his back. Tighten the support so much that it acts as a support when lifting. It must not be tightened so that it takes up the whole load.
Place RgoSling Standup around the waist of the user and tighten the belt.
Place the lifter in position for fastening the sling to the suspension.
Fasten the sling to the suspension on the U-shaped suspension by pulling the rope down into connection point. On the V-shaped suspensions the ropes are fastened by pulling the rope into the rope lock/connection point from the inside and out. The ropes should be pulled down in the locks so that they are sufficiently fastened to avoid slipping of the ropes when lifting.
Check the length, and make sure the ropes are fastened with equal length on both sides.

If the patient is large and heavy, it may be necessary to pull the ropes from the outside in on the V-shaped suspension in order to increase the width between the connection points.

Sit to stand lift

The patient’s weight ensures that the rope locks into the suspension. The user should lean back slightly when lifting, and if possible hold onto the handles.
The waist belt should be retightened when lifting begins and when the sling is loaded.
The user should not stand fully upright during the transfer because this is uncomfortable for the user.
When using RgoSling Standup with support the support part can be removed when the user is in standing position.
