Standing Sling (Model R130) (FIGURE 2)
WARNING
Individuals that use the Standing Sling (Model R130)
MUST be able to support the majority of their own
weight, otherwise injury can occur.
DO NOT use the standing sling in combination with
the stand up lift as a transport device. It is intended
to transfer an individual from one resting surface to
another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a
person using the standing sling in combination with
the stand up lift over ANY distance is NOT recom-
mended.
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.
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.
1. Position the standing sling around the patient's torso
just below the shoulder blades and under the arms.
NOTE: Make sure the bottom edge of the sling is on
the lower back and the patient's arms are outside
the standing sling.
STANDUP AND TRANSPORT SLINGS
NOTE: The belt should be towards the patient with
the labels at the bottom of the standing sling.
2. Secure the standing sling to the patient by buckling
the belt.
The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the pa-
tient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling
during transfer, possibly causing injury.
3. Adjust the belt for a snug, but comfortable fit.
4. Attach the standing sling to the stand up lift. Refer to
ATTACHING THE SLINGS TO THE STAND UP
LIFT in this section of the manual.
