SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

WARNING
SECTION 1 – GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.

WARNING
DO NOT move a person suspended in a sling any distance. The Invacare patient lift or the sling are NOT transport devices. They are intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Otherwise, injury or damage may occur..

Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the dealer for further instructions.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this owner’s manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case. Bed rails may be used to minimize patient movement during sling positioning.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. These weights will vary from 350 to 600 lbs. depending on the type of patient lift purchased. For maximum weight limitation, refer to the Typical Product Parameters section in the patient lift manual or contact customer service.
Invacare slings are made specifically for use with Invacare lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and lifts of different manufacturers.

Using the Sling
Use an Invacare approved sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.
Standing Slings – Individuals that use the standing sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight, otherwise injury can occur. Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the standing sling is positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient’s arms are outside the standing sling. The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury.

Transport/Transfer Slings – Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transfer sling is at the base of the spine and the patient’s arms are outside the transfer sling. DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transfer sling, otherwise injury may occur.
The Jasmine Patient Lift can be used with the standard swivel bar or an optional cradle attachment. The tilting cradle attachment enables a single caregiver to more easily position a patient in an upright and seated position.
DO NOT use any kind of material (such as a plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion) between the patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during transferring.
After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching.
Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard immediately.
DO NOT alter slings.
When connecting slings equipped with color coded straps to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back of the patient for support. Using the long section will leave little or no support for the patient’s back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place the patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head support when lifting a patient.

Care
NOTE: Laundering should always be done with dark colors. The sling should be washed regularly in a water temperature not to exceed 180°F (82°C). DO NOT bleach. Air dry or dry at low temperature. Inspect with each use. Refer to tagged washing instructions on the sling.

WARNING
After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard immediately.

Introduction
The hardware used with the standard sling includes four metal support bars. The support bars insert into the pockets at the edge of the fabric. The pocket that holds the metal bar has an opening in the center. The pocket is sewn closed on one end and has an open-end with a strap on the other.

Care
Remove the four metal support bars before laundering the standard style sling. The metal support bars MUST be replaced before the sling can be used for patient lifting.

Positioning the Standard Style Sling

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.2.
NOTE: Use the following method to easily move the patient and avoid strain to yourself.

1. With an attendant on each side of the bed and up against the mattress, the attendant on the right-hand side of the bed will elevate the left knee and position his/her left-hand on the elevated knee and his/her right-hand under the patient’s left shoulder, slowly push on the knee and assist with a slight lift of the shoulder and the patient will easily roll onto their side. Refer to Detail “A”.

2. Put the standard style sling onto the mattress.
   NOTE: The upper edge of the back section should be positioned slightly above the armpit level and the lower edge of the seat section positioned a few inches above the back of the patient’s knees Refer to Detail “A”.

CAUTION
When using either the chains or straps to connect the sling to the patient lift, the short-est of the two sections of the chains or straps MUST be attached to the back section of the sling. Using the long section will leave little or no support for the patient’s back.

1. With the patient laying on his/her back and positioned properly in the sling, lay the chains or straps on the bed next to the sling. Refer to Detail “A”.
2. The short section of chain or strap will be placed parallel to the patient’s back. This will position the longer section of chain or strap from the waist to the mid section of the thigh.
