4. Opsætning og klargøring

Before each use, ensure the sling is clean and free from damage. Prepare the patient and the lift according to their respective manuals.

1. Inspect the Sling: Visually check the entire sling for any cuts, tears, fraying, loose stitching, or damage to the fabric, straps, loops, or buckles. If any damage is found, DO NOT use the sling.
2. Prepare the Patient: Ensure the patient is in a stable seated position. Explain the transfer process to the patient to gain their cooperation.
3. Position the Sling: Carefully slide the sling under the patient while they are seated. Ensure the padded sections are correctly positioned under the arms and in the lumbar region. The open area of the sling should align from the middle of the patient's back to the middle of their thigh, allowing for clothing adjustment.
4. Secure the Sling: Fasten the hook and loop belt around the patient's torso. Then, secure the separate buckle strap, ensuring it is snug but not overly tight, to hold the sling securely in place.
