Troubleshooting
Description
The client is at risk of sliding out
The client is unbalanced when lifted
The sling is too small
Note: It is important that the right sling is used for each client and that it is individually tested to
ensure that it meets the client's need and the transfer situation.
Care Instructions
Check for wear and tear
Check the sling for wear and tear. It is important
to check the fabric, the edging, the seams and
the lifting straps.
Damaged lifting equipment must not be used.
Cleaning
Human Care slings are intended for individual
use. To avoid infections or transmission of bac-
teria, it is important to clean the slings properly.
All slings should be machine washed and dried
as soon as possible. Slings should always be
cleaned after use in a wet situation.
Always refer to the label of the sling before
washing.
Periodic inspection
A periodic inspection must be carried out at
least every 6 months. See Human Care's peri-
odic inspection log which can be found on our
website at www.humancaregroup.com
Action
•
The sling may be too large.
•
The sling is not correctly fitted - the length of the loops should be
stretched at the same time.
•
The instructions on the individual test log have not been followed or
a new assessment needs to be carried out.
•
This can be uncomfortable for the client. The sling can cut into the
client's flesh and/or his/her back may not have enough support.
