CAUTION!
Compatibility of slings and spreader bars / strap
hooks
Invacare uses a "Loop and Coat Hanger Spreader
Bar / Strap Hook System" as do many other
manufacturers. Therefore other suitable patient
transfer systems (slings), manufactured by other
companies, can be used on the Invacare patient
lift range as well.
However we do recommend:
– A risk assessment is always to be carried out by
a professional prior to issuing lifting equipment.
It is important that the Task, Individual, Load,
Environment and Equipment are considered in
the risk assessment.
– Always choose the sling design and size
according to the patient's weight, size and
physical ability whilst considering the type of
transfer to be carried out.
– Do only use slings that are suitable for a "Loop
and Coat Hanger Spreader Bar / Strap Hook
System".
– Do not use slings for "Keyhole Spreader Bar" or
for "Tilting Frame Spreader Bar" designs.
