The Bariatric Sling is a product intended for assisted
transfer of bariatric patients/residents with limited
ability to move and require full body support during
transfers. The Bariatric Slings should be used together
with Arjo lift devices in accordance with the Allowed
Combinations specied in the Instructions for Use
(IFU).
The Hammock model MAA8030 is required to be used
for reclined position only.
The Bariatric Slings shall only be used by
appropriately trained caregivers with adequate
knowledge of the care environment, and in accordance
with the instructions outlined in the Instructions for
Use.
The Bariatric Slings is intended to be used in hospital
environments, nursing homes, other healthcare
facilities and home care.
Slings made of nonwoven material (MFA8010),
referred to as Disposable bariatric loop sling, is a
patient specic, non-washable sling intended to be
used for a limited period only. Disposable bariatric
loop sling must not be used for bathing and/or

The Bariatric Slings should only be used for the
purpose specied in this Instructions for Use. Any
other use is prohibited.
P at i e n t / R e s i d e n t A s s e s s me n t
We recommend that facilities establish regular
assessment routines. Caregivers should assess each
patient/resident according to the following criteria
prior to use:
• Patient/resident sits in wheelchair
• No capacity to support herself at all
• Cannot stand unsupported and is not able to bear
weight, not even partially
• Dependent on caregiver in most situations
• Physically demanding for caregiver
• Stimulation of remaining abilities is very important
Or, for a patient/resident who:
• Is passive
• Might be almost completely bed ridden
•Often sti, contracted joints
•Totally dependent on the caregiver
• Physically demanding for caregiver
• Stimulation and activation is not a primary goal
Safe Working Load (SWL) for Disposable Bariatric
Sling:
•MAA8000, MAA8000A, MAA8010, MAA8020,
MAA8030, MFA8010: 454 kg (1000 lbs).
The right type and size of slings should be used after
proper assessment of each patient/resident’s size,
condition and the type of lifting situation.
If the patient/resident does not meet these criteria,
an alternative equipment/system shall be used.
E x p e ct e d S e rv i ce L i f e
The expected service life of Bariatric Slings is the
maximum period of useful life.
The expected life of the slings is dependent on the
actual use conditions. Therefore, before use, always
make sure that the sling does not show signs of
fraying, tearing or other damage and that there is no
damage (i.e. cracking, bending, breaking). If any such
damage is observed, do not use the sling. If you have
any doubts about sling safety, as a precaution and to
ensure safety, do not use the sling.
Disposable bariatric loop sling are intended for a
limited period only. By nature of its design, Disposable
bariatric loop sling must be treated as a disposable and
resident specic product.

transfers per day. (Disposable bariatric loop
sling).
