General Instructions:
Warning
Do not attempt to transfer the patient until
all appropriate sling attachments are secured to
the lift spreader bar and you are satisfied that the
sling is the correct style, size and fit for the patient.
Correct sizing of a sling is important as a sling that is
too large could cause the patient to slip through the
aperture.
While every attempt is made to instruct a safe move
you must conform to the current moving and handling
procedures/regulations. If in any doubt, consult your
Moving and Handling Advisor.
Service Label & Sling Checks:
All products should be checked each time they are
used for any signs of deterioration.
The service label is a visual guide to the product’s
check. Please conduct a thorough sling check in line
with current safety requirements in your country.
If in doubt consult your distributor for current sling
checking protocols.
A risk assessment must be carried out to ensure
that the correct size and style of sling has been
met before use.
Pre-use sling check list:
• braiding/straps for deterioration and fraying
• material for holes/snagging
• compatibility with the lift
• safe working load of both the lift and sling/
product (if applicable)
• label is legible
Remove from use immediately if there are any signs
of deterioration to the sling or straps or the label
is illegible.
Washing Guidelines:
• Follow laundry temperatures for washing and drying
detailed on the product label.
• Always ensure that all Hook & Loop fastenings are
fully closed before washing.
• All products should be laundered using non-
biological detergents.
• DO NOT IRON
Product Care:
• Ensure that any Hook & Loop fastenings are closed
when not in use. This will prevent unnecessary
snagging of the sling material and prevent clogging
of the Hook & Loop.
• Launder regularly.
• Store products in a suitable dry clean place.
• Silvalea will accept no liability for any additions/
adaptations made to our products that have NOT
been carried out by ourselves. Doing so may cause
serious injury or death to the patient.
Drying Guidelines:
• Follow the recommended drying temperatures
as stated on product label.
• Overheating a textile product can cause
deterioration in the material components.
• Do not place the product on a convector heater
or steam pipes.
