User instructions for:

Hammock Sling

Inspect each sling for wear, tears or loose stitching after each wash.

Hammock Sling (THA-S, M & L)

Our most universal sling, the Hammock sling, is a mesh type material that dries quickly but is soft and pliable. The sling has an incorporated head support and a unique strap system that keeps the patient secure in the sling. A special polyester fabric in the seat area helps to reduce friction and makes the sling easy to place around a patient in a chair without lifting or removing the patient. The patient may be transferred in a seated, semi-reclined or fully reclined position. Best choice for most situations

– including bathing. Fits all BHM ceiling lift models as well as the Ergolift Mobile Lift.

Available in sizes S, M & L. Weight capacity is

250 kg (550 lb.).

10

BHM SLING

Hammock 6 Strap Sling (THA6-S, M &

L)

Almost identical to the Hammock sling above, this sling provides extra security and a tighter fit for patients who are low-tone or who would prefer a more secure feeling. The head support is tighter and the extra straps on the side provide more lateral support. The patient may be transferred in a seated, semi-reclined or fully reclined position.

Fit all BHM ceiling lift models as well as the

Ergolift mobile lift. Available in sizes S, M & L.

Weight capacity is 250 kg (550 lb.)

(U-shaped and white fabric)

2. Lean the patient forward in the chair and make sure that the patient is supported.

Whenever possible have someone assist you to ensure the patient's safety at all times.

3. With the white fabric of the sling facing the patient, grab the sling at the top of the Ushape and slide the sling down to the base of the spine or coccyx.

BHM SLING

Option 1 - Bridge

(Most recommended)

a) Take the two straps between the legs – these are the short loops – and thread one loop through the other to cross them.

5. Kneel in front of the patient so that your back is straight and so you are at eye level with the patient. Grab the end of the sling with the white fabric and make sure there are no twists in the sling. Make sure the white fabric is facing the patient’s leg. Place one hand on the patient’s knee to hold it in place and gently pull the sling forward with the other hand until the edge of the sling is approximately even with the patient’s knee.

6. Place the patient’s foot on your thigh and slide the white section of the sling under the leg. b) Now take the long strap on the outside of each leg and string it through the inside strap. By crossing the straps as you see here, form a bridge above the patient’s legs and protect them from any pinching or pressure, as well as keep the knees and hips in line.

7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 for the other leg.

Sling Attachment Options

c) Finally, place the patient’s hands inside the sling.

OPTION 2 – Leg Separation

Using this method of sling placement will pull the patient’s legs apart. Check with the patient’s physician, nurse or medical specialist before attempting this method.

a) Thread the long strap through the short strap on each leg.

V4 CEILING LIFT 12

BHM SLING

a) Slide the sling end with the white fabric so that it is all the way under both legs. One sling strap will be on top of the other. b) Each short strap should be looped through the long strap on the same leg. c) Place the hands inside the sling. See sling placement for leg separation as installed below. b) Thread the long strap through the short strap that is next to it. The photo below shows clearly an example without a patient in it.

OPTION 3 – Amputee

Do not use this method of sling placement for a patient who is agitated or spastic.

V4 CEILING LIFT c) When installed there should not be any sling material between the patient’s legs. Place the hands inside the sling.

13

BHM SLING

3. Lower the patient down on top of the sling.

Roll the patient the opposite direction to pull the sling out the other side.

When transferring a patient from a bed, have people on each side of it, or raise the bed rails to ensure the patient does not roll off the bed.

2. With someone there to assist you, carefully roll the patient onto one side. Now place the fold of the sling at the center of the bed or where the spine of the patient will be. The top of the U-shape in the sling should be at the base of the spine or coccyx .The top of the sling should be next to the head. Lift the top fold and tuck next to the patient.

Emergency Brake

• The emergency brake is made of a metal bar fixed to the drum

• In case of a chain, gear or motor breakage, the centrifugal force created will block the bar against the frame.

Battery Information

• 2 rechargeable batteries of 12 Vdc, 5 Ah.

• Provides up to 120 transfers with a load of

74 kg (200 lb.) and up to 70 transfers with its’ maximum load of 190 kg (420 lb.).

Life cycle (number of charging cycles) of the batteries is largely dependent on the depth of discharge in each cycle. More the batteries are drained, the shorter their life span. The life of the batteries is also related to such factors as varying temperatures and rest periods between charge and discharge.

If you drain the batteries until they beep every time, you can expect the batteries to fully charge only 600 times.

To prolong battery life, return the lift to the charger

WHENEVER THE LIFT IS NOT IN

USE.

BHM uses sealed lead-acid batteries.

Contrary to nickel-cadmium, BHM batteries do not have any memory effect. Therefore, batteries should not be completely drained before recharge.

MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS CARRY OUT THE

DAILY CHECKLIST BEFORE

EACH LIFT USE.

Alterations made to the V4 by someone other than a certified technician may cause serious injury and voids the warranty.

The V4 and accessories must be inspected ANNUALLY by a certified technician in addition to the daily and other periodic visual checks done by the user specified in this section.

Preventive maintenance specified in this manual can prevent accidents and reduce repair costs.

Note all service or repairs to the V4 or its accessories in the log book at the end of this manual. Have the document signed by the certified technician

Daily Check List

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES MUST

BE FOLLOWED BEFORE EACH USE:

• Have batteries been charged? Park the lift on the charger whenever the lift is not in use.

• Inspect the lift for any damage. If the lift casing does not look properly aligned, or there are any cracks or other damage on the lift, or any parts are missing – DO NOT USE

IT. Contact your local representative to have the lift serviced.

• Inspect the visible strap for any signs of wear, frays, loose threads or other damage.

If there is any evidence of damage – DO

NOT USE IT. Contact your local representative to have the lift serviced.

• Inspect the sling for tears, frayed straps or loose stitchings. If the sling has any of the above damage – DO NOT USE IT. Contact your local representative to have the sling replaced or repaired.

• Inspect the carry bar for any signs of the cracking or damage.

V4 CEILING LIFT

MAINTENANCE

• Ensure the ring and cother pins that attach the carry bar to the strap are secure.

Inspection and Cleaning

Clean the V4 with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of solvent that may damage the finish.

Do not immerse lift in water.

To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley wheels, clean the inside of the track every 4 months. To do so, insert a damp cloth in the opening and slide it from one end of the track to the other.

Always reinstall the rail end stopper (if they have been removed) after servicing.

Strap Inspection

This equipment is built with a strap that can withstand a load of 1364 kg (3000 lbs.)

Nonetheless, if this strap is damaged or shows signs of wear, the acceptable load on the strap before rupture can drop rapidly and present a danger for the patient or caregiver.

BHM Medical recommends thoroughly inspecting the strap every 2 months as follows:

1. Completely unwind the strap.

2. Look for any signs of wear:

Loose threads in stitched area.

Noticeable discoloration by having a

Lighter color strap than the double thickness stitched area.

Side wear.

Middle wear.

If there is any sign of wear as indicated here or other visual defects, strap should be changed immediately. By continuing to use the lift without changing the strap, caregiver and patient safety is greatly compromised.

In any case, the manufacturer recommends changing the strap at least

25

every two years. By continuing to use the lift without changing the strap, caregiver and patient safety is greatly compromised.

Take note of inspection results in the logbook at the end of this manual.

Handling and Storage

Avoid violent shock during transportation.

The lift should not remain stored for long periods of time without recharging the batteries.

BHM Medical recommends charging of batteries at least every two weeks even if the lift is not used. This will prevent premature aging of batteries.

If you store or ship the V4 lift, turn the power off

(green light off).

Battery Replacement

BHM uses sealed lead-acid batteries. Contrary to nickel-cadmium, BHM batteries do not have any memory effect. Therefore, batteries should not be completely discharged before recharge.

Replace the battery when there is a noticeable reduction in the number of transfers that can be performed between charges. If you notice the

Voyager lift “beeping” and a red light flashing, see the instructions in “Troubleshooting” to ensure it is a problem with the battery.

To replace a battery, contact your local dealer or representative.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A

BATTERY NOT AUTHORIZED BY

BHM MEDICAL.

BHM batteries are specially designed for

BHM charging systems. Attempting to use an unauthorized battery may seriously damage the lift and/or the charger.

Verification of Charger Power Source

If the light does not illuminate when there are batteries in, do the following steps:

1. Make sure that the power cord is correctly plugged into the charger in the wall and Clip on charging station indicator green light is on.

V4 CEILING LIFT

MAINTENANCE

2. Make sure that there is contact between the contact plates of the lift and the circuit board of the charging station.

3. Check the power of the outlet.

4. If the yellow or green light of the charging station do not light up, contact your local dealer or respresentative for assistance.

Sling Inspection and Care

For maximum patient safety and hygiene, read the following instructions:

Chemical Attack

Oil, grease, creosote or paint stains are harmless but other forms of chemical attack of a sufficient degree may lead to deterioration or extreme softening of the webbing, which could lead to the fibres being rubbed off (almost as powder in extreme cases). It is best to avoid fumes, spray or mists of acid and alkalis or organic solvents. If contamination is suspected, wash out well in warm water. Avoid contact with excessive heat, which is likely to affect the product.

Cleaning

Certain chemical substances mentioned above may be removed with heavy duty cleaner diluted in warm water. Ensure that any cleaning agents are removed by rinsing thoroughly in warm water, maximum 60°C (140°F).

For normal washing and cleaning, follow the care instructions on the label of the product.

Storage

Slings should be stored away from direct sunlight, stress, pressure, excessive heat or humidity. The sling should be kept away from contact with sharp objects, corrosives or other possible damaging material.

Loose threads in stitched area.

Noticeable discoloration by having lighter color strap than the double thickness stitched area.

Side wear.

Middle wear.

1. Check for any sign of wear on sling straps as described above and at the strap-sling junction. Buckles on certain slings should be

26

checked to ensure that the locking/unlocking mechanism opens and closes easily and is secure when locked.

2. Check for any sign of deterioration of the sling material. Check for general external wear, local abrasion, cuts, holes or burns in the webbing and for chemical attack.

3. Look at "stitched areas" for broken, worn, pulled or unravelled stitches.

4. Sling should be cleaned as indicated on the tag.

If there is any sign of wear or deterioration as indicated above or other visual defect, sling should be changed immediately. By continuing to use the lift without changing the sling, care giver and patient safety is greatly compromised
