Intended Use of the Product
The Wispa hoist has been designed to lift and transfer a less able person
with the help of a carer. It should be used with a Wispa sling or other lifting
accessories from the Chiltern Invadex range, as assessed by a trained
person.
Note: Not all slings and accessories are compatible with this hoist. If you are
unsure please contact your nearest Chiltern Invadex regional office.
The correct and appropriate use of this product will reduce the risks
associated with manual patient handling. The lifting/transferring task should
be assessed and planned by a trained person.
