AmpSling
Instructions for use - English
AmpSling is easy for the caregiver to apply and it gives the patient a feeling of security. It features leg sections,
which means that the patient does not sit on the sling. Instead, the sling provides support from the tailbone up
over the head and under the legs. AmpSling has been designed for the most common lifting situations, even where
a sling without separate leg sections is preferred; e.g., when lifting a patient with high double leg amputations.
Functional inspection
Visual and mechanical inspection
Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to ensure
that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the
device and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy load. If there are signs of wear, the product
must be discarded.
Always read the manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, trial fit the sling carefully. First, apply the
sling's back loops to the slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been tested.
The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system.
Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use.
Contact your dealer if you have any questions.
