Troubleshooting
Is the patient incorrectly positioned in the sling?
• If the patient is at risk of sliding out, the sling is not correctly tted.
• If the patient is at risk of sliding out, the sling may be too large.
• If the patient is unbalanced when lifted, the instructions on the individual test log have not
been followed or a new test needs to be carried out.
• If the sling is too small, this can be uncomfortable for the patient.The sling can cut into the
patient's esh and/or his/her back may not have enough support.
Note: It is important that the right sling is used for each patient and that it is individually tested
to ensure that it meets the patient's needs.
