Actions Before the First Use
Always ensure that:
• The rail system and the lift are installed by
an authorized Arjo agent in accordance
with local codes.
• A weight load test has been performed on
the rail, as per Arjo's instructions.
• All rails must be closed and secured with
end stoppers or connected to other closed
rail components.
Actions Before Every Use
Always ensure that:
• The product is used by trained caregivers.
• Special consideration is taken when
transferring a patient who is connected to
electrodes, catheters or other medical
devices.
• The sling is inspected and the lifting
procedures found in this manual are
followed.
• If at any time the patient becomes agitated,
stop transfer and safely lower them.
• The daily maintenance is carried out before
using the lift paying special attention to the
following elements:
• Inspect strap for wear, discoloration or
loose threads.
• Inspect all sling parts (attachments,
fabric, stitch areas and strap) for signs
of wear, discoloration, deterioration or
loose threads.
• Inspect the spreader bar for damage or
cracks. Make sure all attachments are
properly secured, and that all the Quick
Connect components (cover and latch)
are present (or Clevis Pin components,
if working with an Basic Ceiling Lifter
model).
• Inspect for evidence of external
damage, missing parts or broken
panels.
• Make sure all end stoppers and end
caps are present.
• When raising or lowering the patient,
always remember to keep the strap as
straight as possible for security purposes
and to prevent premature wear of the lift's
components. Never exceed maximum
values as shown in Figure 6.

NOTE: The need for a second attendant to
support the patient must be assessed in each
individual case.
WARNING: Before an attempt is made to move
a patient, a clinical assessment of the patient’s
suitability for transfer must be carried out by a
qualified health professional considering that,
among other things, the transfer may induce
substantial pressure on the patient’s body. A
transfer conducted when it should not can
degrade the patient’s health condition.
WARNING: Before transferring a patient, make
sure there are no obstacles in the transfer path.
Injuries could occur.
WARNING: Ensure that there are no objects in
the running way of the strap. They could
damage or cut the strap, causing a patient fall.
