Sling Instructions
Purpose and Use
The GoLimb sling is suited for lifting or supporting legs.
Instructions:
Do not place the GoLift system in the control of persons who have not received proper
training in its operation. Serious injury can occur if the GoLift system is used improperly.
Read and understand all instructions regarding the operation of the GoLift system prior to
use. Follow these instructions to ensure the safety of both the caregiver and the patient:
1. Use the proper size of sling on the patient.
2. Do not, under any circumstances, exceed the GoLift’s and sling standard working load.
3. Perform a visual inspection of the sling for signs of wear. Look for fraying, cuts or tears
in the material on both the slings body and straps prior to using the sling.
4. Remove and replace the sling if any damage is found on the sling.
5. Position the sling properly under and around the patient, to ensure a balanced lift.
6. The GoLift system must not be used for unsafe practices.
In facilities when more than once sta is responsible for operating the GoLift system, it is imperative that all such members are trained in its
proper use. A training and orientation program should be established by the facility to familiarize new caregivers with the GoLift system.
Plan the move. Avoid leaving the patient in the sling unattended. Do not start to lift the patient until it has been checked that the patient cannot
get trapped and that the sling does not catch on the bed or wheelchair. Be careful with any tubes and wires that are attached to the patient
and/or equipment.
Amico Mobility shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incorrect use of the sling or for reasons of inadequate attention on the part of
the caregiver or user. If the sling is used in combination with products not manufactured by Amico, a risk assessment must be conducted by
qualied sta.
Attaching the lifting sling:
Insert the sling into a washing/laundry bag prior to being placed in the washer.
This is to prevent any unusaul wear and tear of the sling from the washing machine.
