Product Usage Instructions

Check Safety

Perform visual inspections regularly to ensure the safety of the product. Check for any damage, wear, or fading of the fabric. Discard the product if signs of wear are present.

Mechanical Load

Conduct a friction test by applying pressure to buckles and handles to ensure they can withstand heavy loads. Verify that the surface allows for smooth sliding without excessive effort.

Always Read the User Manual

Read and keep the user manual accessible for reference. Ensure you have the correct version of the manual for proper usage.

Placement of OneWaySlide

Position the OneWaySlide so that the open section faces the back of the wheelchair. Secure it to the rear frame tubing of the wheelchair for stability.

Using OneWaySlide

When repositioning a user, caregivers can grasp the handles or loop them around their wrists for better grip. Maintain proper posture and weight distribution during use. Positioning is easier if the user can lean forward.

Care of the Product

• Follow the care instructions provided on the product label.
• Avoid using fabric softener and tumbler drying for optimal longevity.

Check Safety

Visual inspection

• Check the condition and function of the assistive device 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.
• If there are signs of wear, the product must be discarded.

Mechanical load

• Apply pressure to buckles and handles and verify that they will not open or break under heavy loads.

Friction test

• Low friction – Ensure that the surface is smooth and slides effortlessly. Compare with a new product.
• High friction – Ensure that the surface is rough and prevents the transfer aid from moving. Compare with a new product.

Always read the user manual

• Always read the user manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
• Keep the user manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
• Always make sure that you have the right version of the user manual.

Placement of OneWaySlide

• Place OneWaySlide so that the open section is facing the back of the wheelchair. Place the upper section so that it sticks up a bit on the backrest of the wheelchair. This makes it easier for the caregiver to reach the handles.
• Tie the OneWaySlide to the rear frame tubing of the wheelchair.

Alternative grips

• The caregiver can either simply grasp the handle, or first loop it around the wrist.
• Remember to work with knees bent, back and arms straight, and shift the weight.

Using OneWaySlide

• Positioning is easier if the patient can lean forward. If the user is unable to lean forward, one caregiver can assist from the front while supporting the patient’s balance.
• If the user can lean forward and has good balance while seated, only one caregiver is required. Grasp the appropriate handles and pull the user back by drawing the OneWaySlide upward along the backrest of the wheelchair.
• If the user is heavy or if the chair has a high back, two caregivers can assist, one working on either side. Coordinate your efforts.
• A caregiver can easily help make small positioning changes sideways using the handles on each side of the OneWaySlide

Raising the user´s feet from the floor will relieve some of the weight of the thighs from the seat, thereby making repositioning easier.
