How to correctly position a patient in an Arjo Sling?
- A
  Ashley HughesAug 21, 2025
  To correctly position a patient in the Arjo Sling, ensure the clip/lift cords are attached at the right length, and the straps aren't twisted or knotted. Position the patient inside the sling, using the label as a reference, and ensure they are centered. Check that there are no creases on the leg flaps and that they are attached at the correct length. Verify the clip isn't caught. Use the sling according to the allowed combinations. Adjust the patient’s position using the clips/lift cords, or inner clips, and adjust the support belt for comfort. Ensure the patient is holding onto the handles on the lift.

What to do if Arjo Medical Equipment Sara Plus support arms do not move upwards and overload is displayed?
- L
  Lonnie HoltSep 3, 2025
  If, when pressing the “Raise” button, the Sara Plus makes a noise, “overload” is displayed, and the buzzer beeps continuously but the resident support arms do not move upwards, it may be that the resident support arms are blocked by an obstruction. Remove the obstruction and check the Sara Plus thoroughly for damage before continuing the lifting cycle. If in doubt, use the System failure lower override to return the resident to a safe seated position, then remove the Sara Plus from use. Do not use the equipment again until it has been inspected and passed for safe working by an Arjo approved service engineer.
