The patient to be transferred must be assessed by a qualified professional before attempting to lift and transfer.

Before using the sling, familiarize yourself with the proper method of sling attachment and lift operation. You can find this information in the operator’s manual provided with your lift system.

Inspect the sling carefully before each use. If fraying, seam separation, or other damage is visible or suspected, dispose of it immediately and replace it with a new sling.

Finally, never exceed the weight limitations of your lift or sling, as serious harm to the patient or caregiver may result.
