Transferring Patient in Supine Position
WARNING: Only use Arjo soft stretcher slings. Do not use any other type of soft stretcher sling with the
Maxi Sky 2.
CAUTION: Before the soft stretcher can be used with the Maxi Sky 2, ensure the stretcher frame has
been correctly attached to the strap.
Identify the head section of the soft stretcher. Look for a
label sewn to the end of the head section.
Position the soft stretcher sling by rolling the patient over.
Ensure that the top section of the sling is under the
patient's head, with the top edge of the sling levelled with
the top of the head.
With the stretcher frame as high up as possible, move the
lift until the frame is directly over the patient.
Lower the stretcher frame carefully over and just clear of
the patient, aligning the centre of the frame approximately
over the patient's navel.
Connect all the sling loops securely.
As the patient is raised slightly off the bed, assess if the
frame needs to be adjusted to accommodate the patient's
centre of gravity so that a level position is maintained.
Lower the patient onto the bed and adjust as needed.
Refer to specific stretcher literature for details.
Raise and move the patient away from the bed.
NOTE: If the patient is not able to roll on his/her side,
use a MaxiSlide sheet to apply sling.
NOTE: The frame is symmetrical and can be used
from either side.
WARNING: When using the lowering function be
careful to not hit the patient with the stretcher frame as
this could cause injury.
NOTE: The attachment straps have several
connection loops. Choose whichever loop is
considered the best to enable the patient to lie in the
most comfortable position.
