General Information
Operational Life
The expected operational life of your ARJO lift is ten
years from the date of manufacture, providing the
following conditions are adhered to:
• The expected operational life for fabric slings and
fabric stretchers is approximately two years from
date of purchase.
• This life expectancy only applies if the slings and
stretchers have been cleaned, maintained and
inspected in accordance with the “ARJO Sling
Information” documents, the “Operating and Product
Care Instructions” and the “Preventive Maintenance
Schedule”.
• The expected life for other consumable products,
such as batteries, fuses, lamps, gel cushions, filters,
seal kits, seat inserts, mattresses, safety belts, padded
covers, straps and cords is dependent upon the care
and usage of the equipment concerned.
Consumables must be maintained in accordance with
published “Operating and Product Care Instructions”
and the “Preventive Maintenance Schedule”.
Policy on Number of Staff
Members Required for Patient
Transfer
ARJO’s passive and active series of lifts are designed for
safe usage with one caregiver. There are circumstances,
such as combativness, obesity, contractures etc. of the
individual that may dictate the need for a two-person
transfer. It is the responsibility of each facility or medical
professional to determine if a one or two person transfer
is more appropriate, based on the task, resident load,
environment, capability, and skill level of the staff
members.
