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, trial fit the sling carefully.
Use a slingbar that has been tested.
The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system.
