Liko RepoSheet Short Manual

is a warning triangle used for situations that demand extra care and attention.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient and the person helping them is referred to as
the caregiver.
Product Description
Solo RepoSheet accessory has been specially
developed by Liko to facilitate transfers of a patient in
bed. It is an excellent aid for repositioning further up
in bed and during turning in beds using a lift and with
minimal body strain for the caregivers.
Transfers can be carried out with the help of one person
but we recommend that there are two caregivers which
is time-saving and a comfortable way to work.
Solo RepoSheet accessory can be used in combination
with, or instead of ordinary bed sheets.
Solo RepoSheet accessory is intended for short-term
use by one individual patient. It should be disposed
when it becomes soiled or when the patient no longer
needs it.
Two models are available; Short, for lifting up to
200 kg (440 lbs.), and Generous, for lifting up to 300 kg
(660 lbs.). Solo RepoSheet Generous accessory have a
separate Instruction Guide.
There are also RepoSheet accessory models for long-
term use in Liko’s product range.
If it is necessary to transfer a patient between two
horizontal surfaces sufcient lift straps are used to ensure
that the patient has enough support under the body to be
lifted safely during the transfer. Also, make sure that strap
loops do not become stuck anywhere during the transfer.
Solo RepoSheet accessory works best in combination
with overhead lifts. We recommend LikoGuard™
overhead lift, Likorall™overhead lift or Multirall™
overhead lift. See nal page for recommended sling bars.
Solo RepoSheet accessory is not intended for lifting
or transfers from lying to sitting positions. For such needs,
we recommend lifting with one of our many sling models.
IMPORTANT!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a certain level of risk. Read the instruction guide for both
the patient lift and lifting accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the
instruction guide. The equipment should only be used by trained personnel. Ensure that the lifting accessories
are suitable for the lift used. Exercise care and caution during use. As a caregiver, you are always responsible for
the patient’s safety. You must be aware of the patient’s ability to make it through the lifting situation. If something
is unclear, contact the manufacturer or supplier.

User Description
Place Solo RepoSheet Short accessory centrally on the bed with the
head end of the sheet approx. 10 cm (3.9 inch.) from the edge of the
mattress. Note that the lift strap at the head end has a different colour.
Solo RepoSheet accessory should be placed like this the rst time it is
used or when it is time to change the bedding.
The rst time Solo RepoSheet accessory is put in place on the bed,
it is easiest to lift the patient from the bed in a sling, for example, Soft
Original High Back Sling, Model 26.
Each new time Solo RepoSheet Short accessory is put in place means
repositioning 2-3 times further up in the bed before it is time to change
the bedding.
Lifting further up in the bed
Connect the strap loops: Connect the strap loops to each side of the sling bar. Use the lift straps that lift the head and all the
lift straps that lift the body down to the hollow of the knees (3-4 pairs of straps is usual). Lifting with the lift straps under the
hollow of the knees can cause over-extension of the knee-joint. When it is also necessary to lift the calves, (for example when
transferring between two beds) particular care must be taken so that over-extension of the knee-joints does not occur.
Lifting: Lift so that the patient is free of the mattress and can be moved up to the desired position in the bed. During
repositioning, the caregivers should hold on to the sling bar and/or support the patient from the underneath. Do not pull the
lift straps! Lower, disconnect and smooth out the Solo RepoSheet accessory.
Alternative: In some cases, particularly if you want to lift the patient in as a straight position as possible, it may be better to
use Side Bars and distribute the strap loops on the Side Bar’s hooks instead, see the small illustration (although not during
the “turning” operation when only one side of the Solo RepoSheet accessory’s lift straps are carrying weight).

Positioning of Solo RepoSheet Short accessory
• A responsible person within your organization should decide on a
case-by-case basis whether one or more caregivers are needed.
• Plan the lifting operation before the lift to make it as safe and
convenient as possible.
• Before lifting, check that the lifting accessory hangs vertically and
can move freely.
• Although Liko’s sling bars are equipped with latches, special
caution must be exercised:
Before the patient is lifted from the underlying surface, but after the
straps have been fully extended, make sure the strap loops are
properly connected to the sling bar.
• Never lift a patient higher off the underlying surface than is needed
to complete the lifting and transfer procedure.
• Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting situation.
• The wheels on the bed must be locked during lifting/transfer
operation, the recommendation applies in particular when turning
patients.
• Put the bed rails up during turning, particularly if only one caregiver
carries out the procedure.
• Make sure that the RepoSheet accessory’s unconnected strap
loops do not become stuck, for example, in the bed during use.
• During transfers, the caregivers should hold on to the sling bar and/
or support the patient from underneath. Avoid pulling the lift straps
as that can damage the RepoSheet accessory.

Turning in bed
Turning a patient in bed can be done with the assistance of one person but we recommend that there are two caregivers
which is time saving and a comfortable way to work.
Use of bed rails is recommended, particularly in situations where only one caregiver is carrying out the procedure.
1. Before turning can take place
the patient must rst be moved to
one side of the bed. Connect the
necessary number of lift straps
according to the description at the
end of page 2.
Lift the patient high enough to clear
the bed surface.
2. Move the patient to one
side of the bed, lower onto
the mattress.
1. Disconnect the strap loops from the
side of the sling bar which is closest to
the middle of the bed. If Side Bars are
used, these should be removed.
Connect 3-4 strap loops to the hooks on
the sling bar when it is hanging parallel
to the bed.
2. Place the patient in such a way that turning is
made easy: arms over the side, one leg over the
other. Lift carefully so that the patient is turned
to the side with the help of the lift without tipping
forward.
3. Adjust the patient’s body position to one which is
comfortable and place pillows to support (behind the back,
between the knees, under the head). Lower the sling bar and
disconnect the strap loops. Smooth out the sheet.
Changing Solo RepoSheet accessory
The easiest way to change Solo RepoSheet accessory is to lift the patient in a Solo RepoSheet accessory while tting the
bed with a new one. After lowering, the rst sheet can be removed when the patient is turned to the side, preferable with the
assistance of the new RepoSheet accessory and the lift.
If Solo RepoSheet accessory is used for lifting further up in the bed it is practical to have two or more sheets to change
between.
When the patient is to be moved from the side position onto a supine position carry out the procedure in reverse order:
remove pillows, lower lift, connect the strap loops, lift and move the patient to the middle of the bed, etc.
