1.04 Anvendelse
Er du i tvivl vedrørende valg eller brug af løftesejl, kontakt
venligst Guldmann.
Vigtigt!
Planlæg forytningen, og lad ikke brugeren sidde i sejlet uden tilsyn. Før du
løfter, skal du sikre, at brugeren ikke kan blive fastklemt, samt at sejlet ikke
hænger fast i seng, kørestol eller andet. Brugerens hoved, arme, hænder og
fødder må ikke være i fare for at sidde fast. Vær forsigtig med evt. slanger
eller ledninger, der er fastgjort til brugeren og/eller til udstyr. Kontroller at
håndbetjeningen og håndbetjeningskablet er fri af løftebøjlen, brugeren og
andre genstande, før løftebøjlen hejses op eller ned.
Guldmann fraskriver sig ansvar for fejl eller ulykker, der opstår, fordi løfte-
sejlet ikke anvendes korrekt eller på grund af manglende agtpågivenhed fra
hjælper eller bruger. Såfremt sejlet bruges i forbindelse med andet udstyr end
Guldmanns, skal dette risikovurderes af kvaliceret personale.

2.00 Vedligeholdelse
2.01 Rengøring
Tåler normal maskinvask ved angiven temperatur
Tåler ikke blegemidler
Tåler tørring i tørretumbler ved lav temperatur
Tåler ikke strygning
Spænderne skal være lukkede/samlede før vask
2.02 Hvilken vedligeholdelse skal ejer selv forestå?
Tjek om der er tegn på slid og skader før sejlet tages i brug i henhold til
nedenstående tjekliste, som ikke er tænkt som en udtømmende oversigt over
alle tænkelige inspektionstrin. Eventuelle skader kan variere. Den
kontrolansvarlige/arbejdsstedets dømmekraft er afgørende.
Tjekliste for inspektion af sejl
Før et Guldmann sejl/tilbehør tages i brug, skal følgende kontrolleres:
Er sejlet rent?
Følg proceduren for infektionskontrol, der gælder for det specikke
arbejdssted.

6
© Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5 © Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5
Er sejlets mærkat læselig og komplet?
Tjek sejlet for manglende, ulæselige og ufuldstændige mærkater. Mangler
mærkaten er det ikke muligt at denere sejlets type, sejlets funktion og/eller
vægtbegrænsning.
Er løftestopperne og syningerne intakte?
• Tjek efter for ødelagte eller slidte syninger
• Tjek efter for knuder på stropperne
• Tjek efter for ænger eller osser
• Tjek efter for huller, ænger eller snit
• Tjek efter for fremmedlegemer i stoffet eller på stropperne
(fx metalsplinter e.l.)
Er stoffet intakt?
• Tjek efter for tegn på unormalt slid og overdreven brug
• Tjek efter for trævler og ænger
• Tjek efter for usædvanlige eller væsentlige misfarvninger
• Tjek efter for rifter, huller, ænger eller snit
• Tjek efter for trævlede eller usikre sømme
• Tjek efter for mærker fremkaldt af kemikalier eller ætsende stoffer
• Tjek efter for forandringer i stoffet – fx øget stivhed
• Tjek efter for indkapslede partikler
Har sejlet stadig den originale størrelse og længde uden
brug af knuder, nåle, tape eller andre metoder, der kan ændre
formen og gøre sejlet kortere eller længere?
Konklusion
Såfremt sejlet har nogle af ovennævnte mangler, skader e.l., skal det
kasseres uanset vægten af brugeren, der skal løftes.
2.03 Bortskaffelse af sejl
Sejl bortskaffes ved forbrænding.
Ved korrekt forbrænding nedbrydes polyester til kuldioxid og vand.
3.00 Service og levetid
3.01 Sikkerheds-/serviceeftersyn
I henhold til international standard EN/ISO 10535 ”Hoist for the transfer of
disabled persons – Requirements and test methods” skal der udføres et sik-
kerhedseftersyn mindst hvert halve år. Proceduren for sejleftersynene skal
være grundig, systematisk og vedvarende. Derudover er både praktisk og
visuel gennemgang anbefalet.
Visse former for skader er langt lettere at opdage gennem praktisk gennem-
gang end blot ved visuel gennemgang. Som eksempel kan nævnes: stivhed
i stoffet, defekte stropper og tyndslidt stof. Disse kan ndes gennem fysisk
kontakt med sejlet. Visuelle eftersyn afslører sandsynligvis ikke alle former for
sejlskader.

© Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5 © Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5
Overvej udformningen og håndteringen af den skriftlige dokumentation af sej-
leftersynene. Dokumentationen bør indeholde følgende informationer: navnet
på producenten, sejlets varenummer, bredde og længde, sejlets unikke identi-
kationsnummer (vigtigt ved uddifferentiering af ens sejl) samt sejlets tilstand.
Andre vigtige oplysninger kunne også være dato for modtagelse af sejlet,
dato for ibrugtagning af sejlet og andre brugbare specielle kendetegn.
Vis omtanke vedrørende ødelagte og defekte sejl, og tag derfor sejlet ud af
brug, hvis nogle af følgende forhold er til stede:
1. Kemiske og ætsede mærker
2. Nedsmeltede eller brændte mærker
3. Rifter, huller, ænger eller snit
4. Ødelagte eller slidte syninger
5. Manglende, ulæselige eller mangelfulde sejlmærkater
6. Knuder på sejlet
7. Slitage
8. Andre synlige skader, der medfører tvivl om sejlets styrke
Sejleftersynene udføres for at beskytte brugere og hjælpere.
En systematisk gennemgang af sejlene har ere fordele:
• at identicere påbegyndte skader
• at forebygge evt. hændelser
• at sikre kvalitet i arbejdet.
NB: Eftersynene bør udføres af en person, som er kvaliceret til det og som
er bekendt med designet, brugen og vedligeholdelsen af sejlet.

3.02 Levetid
Sejlets levetid er individuelt afhængig af brugsmønster, vask mv., men sejlet
skal efterses inden brug i henhold til beskrivelse i afsnit 2.02 og evt. kasse-
res, hvis eftersynet ikke lever op til vejledningen.

Follow facility specic infection control procedure.

15
© Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5 © Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5
Is the sling’s label present, legible and complete?
Missing, illegible or incomplete sling label(s) could make identication of
appropriate size of the sling, function of sling, and or weight limit capacity of
the sling impossible.
Are the lifting straps and stitches intact?
• Look for broken or worn stitches
• Look for knots in straps
• Look for tears or fraying of straps
• Look for snags or punctures or holes
• Look for any particles in fabric or straps
•
Is the fabric intact?
• Look for abnormal wear patterns, excessive wear, abrasive evidence
• Look for cuts or frayed fabric
• Look for unusual or signicant discoloration
• Look for snags, punctures, tears, holes
• Look for frayed or insecure seams
• Look for any acid / caustic / thermal burns
• Look for changes in material consistency, e.g. increased
stiffness
• Look for any imbedded particles
Are slings the original size and length without the use of knots, pins,
tape or other methods to change the shape, shorten or lengthen them?
Conclusion
If the sling suffers from one or more of the above mentioned conditions then
it must be taken out of service regardless of the weight of the person to be
lifted.
2.03 Disposal of slings
Slings are disposed of by incineration. By proper incineration polyester
will be degraded to carbon dioxide and water.
3.00 Service and lifetime
3.01 Safety/service inspections
In accordance with international standard EN/ISO 10535 “Hoist for the
transfer of disabled persons – Requirements and test methods” an inspection
must be performed every 6-month according to the following instructions,
which is not intended to represent all potential inspection steps. Potential
damage may vary. Judgment of inspector/site prevails.
Safe Operating Practices with Slings
Considerations for damaged or defective slings and taking them out of
service:

16
© Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5 © Guldmann 08/2016 # 900688_5
Withdraw the sling from service if one or more of the following conditions are
present:
1. chemical or caustic burns
2. melting or charring of any part of the sling
3. snags, punctures, tears or cuts
4. broken or worn stitches
5. missing, illegible or incomplete sling tag
6. knots in any part of the sling
7. abrasion
8. other visible damage that causes doubt as to the strength of the sling
Sling inspection is done for the protection of the user, the caregiver, and the
overall hospital site safety. A sling inspection system has additional benet.
Systematic sling inspection will assist in the identication of damage trends,
potentially leading to cost effective suggestions and results. The inspection
process can also help to identify inventory duplicity in certain sling types and
sizes.
Sling inspection system
Development of a specic procedure and program for the inspection of
slings at your facility is your best safeguard. Consider employing a three
part system of inspection. Slings that are removed from service and are not
capable of repair should be disposed of so they are unt for any future use
and can not nd a way back into active inventory.
1) Initial
This level of inspection is done at the time that the sling is received into your
facility. The inspector should ensure that no damage has occurred during
transit, and also verify that the sling work load limits match those contained in
the manufacturer’s catalogue. If your facility documents the sling inspection
process through written inspection records, the paper trail should begin at this
stage
2) Frequent
The frequent level of inspection should be done by the sling user before each
use. The sling should be examined and removed from service if damage is
detected. The sling user should also determine that the sling is proper for the
user conditions, care task required and the required weight capacity.
3) Periodic
Your facility might want to consider implementing a program for a periodic
level of inspection at regular intervals. The interval should be based upon
the frequency of use, severity of the service cycle and information derived
through the inspection process. Recommendations to prevent damage and
enhance service life could be made by staff that perform the periodic inspec-
tions. If written inspection records are maintained, they should always refe-
rence the unique sling identication number, and be updated to record the
condition of the sling. Not intended to represent all potential inspection steps
or all potential aspects of product management program. Judgment of inspec-
tor/site prevails.

17

Sling inspection technique
The sling inspection procedure should be thorough, systematic and con-
sistent; both visual and “hands on” inspection techniques are recommen-
ded. Certain forms of damage are far more discernable through hands-on
inspection, than by visual inspection. For example, fabric stiffness, crushed
webbing, as well as, thinning fabric can be identied through tactile inspec-
tion. Visual inspection alone may not reveal all forms of sling damage. Once
signs of damage have been identied, do not downgrade the work load limit
of the sling, with the intent of continuing to use it, but at limited capacity or
frequency. This is sometimes done to get more service life out of a damaged
sling. The operating rule and standard should be: intact = use; damage = do
not use.
Consider the practice of documenting sling inspections through written
inspection records. The documentation should include information such as:
the name of manufacturer, the sling stock number, width and length, the
unique sling identication number (important in differentiating similar slings),
as well as the condition of the sling. Other important information might also
include the date it was received or put into use at your facility and any special
features (if applicable). A benecial outcome of an inspection program would
be the realization of repetitive forms of damage and the analysis that would
lead to specic recommendations.

3.02 Lifetime
The life of the sling is individual and depends on how it is used, washed etc.
Before use the sling must be examined according to description in section
2.02 and if it does not meet the inspection requirements, it must be discarded
if necessary.

7.00 Placing the slings
With the user in a seated position i.e in a
wheelchair or on a bench / plinth.
Position the sling around the user and
attach by fastening the zip.
Ensure the sling is the correct size, it
should t snug with no pressure under the
arm. The bottom of the sling should end
just above the groin area.
Adjustment to the width of the sling can
be made by tightening or loosening the
elasticated straps / buckle on the back of
the sling.
The plastic stiffeners (positioned in the
back of the sling) can be removed if not
required or for laundering.
Position the groin strap by leaning the user
to one side, threading the strap under the
user’s pelvis and in between the thighs.
If the user has poor sitting balance, two
care staff should carry out the sling appli-
cation.
