In case of a correct operation, this prevents the patient/resident from slipping through
the butt opening.
Apply the toilet sling to the patient/resident so that the head support area of the sling is
at the same height as the patient’s/resident’s head. The bottom part of the sling is
f
ixed at approx. the height of the patient’s hips, depending on his/her body size.
Always make sure that the sling clips (for loop slings, the loops) are safely and
securely fixed to all points of the spreader bar provided to this effect, prior to lifting the
patient/resident. Slowly raise the CARLO ALU in order to be able detecting and
correcting immediately possible incorrect fixations.
Note:
We recommend opening the buckles of the head area prior to applying the sling and to
close them again after the sling has been applied. Make sure that the
patient’s/resident’s arms are located outside of the sling and over the upholstered arm
-
pit area.
Always make sure that the patient/resident is in an upright sitting position when he/she
is being lifted and transferred with the CARLO ALU.
If you respect and observe these instructions, the toilet sling will be an efficient aid for
the toilet visit.
8.1.3 After Use
For the washing, the slings are classified as accessory and therefore as medical
device. The slings may be cleaned and disinfected in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
During the washing and drying, no mechanical pressure must be applied, such as dry
press, rotary iron. This could damage the sling parts and impair the operation and the
safety of the sling or even destroy the sling.
The sling loops must be checked and, if required, cleaned after each use. The
washing temperatures must not exceed the temperature specified on the sling. Please
use common household detergents only. Do not iron hot. The plastic clips must be
checked for possible damages after each wash.
