Setup and Application

Proper application of the Molift RgoSling is crucial for patient safety and comfort. Follow these steps for correct setup:

1. Positioning the Sling: Ensure the patient is seated comfortably in their wheelchair or on the edge of the bed. Carefully slide the back section of the sling behind the patient, ensuring the top edge is at shoulder height.
2. Securing Leg Loops: Guide each leg loop under the patient's thighs. The color-coded loops help ensure correct orientation and fit. Cross the leg loops between the patient's legs for added security, if appropriate for the transfer type and patient comfort.
3. Attaching Shoulder Loops: Bring the shoulder loops over the patient's shoulders and under their arms. Ensure they are not twisted.
4. Connecting to Lift: Attach the shoulder and leg loops to the appropriate hooks on the patient lift's spreader bar. Ensure all loops are securely fastened before initiating the lift. The sliding loops will adjust as the patient is lifted.

Operating Instructions

Always ensure the patient lift is in good working order and that you are familiar with its operation before performing any transfer. This section outlines the general steps for using the Molift RgoSling with a compatible patient lift.

1. Pre-Lift Check: Verify that the sling is correctly positioned and all loops are securely attached to the lift's spreader bar. Ensure the patient is comfortable and their head is supported.
2. Initiate Lift: Slowly raise the patient using the lift's controls. Observe the patient's comfort and the sling's position during the initial lift. Adjust as necessary.
3. Transfer Movement: Once the patient is clear of the starting surface (e.g., wheelchair), carefully maneuver the lift to the destination surface (e.g., bed). Maintain control and smooth movements.
4. Lowering the Patient: Slowly lower the patient onto the destination surface. Ensure they are properly aligned and centered.
5. Removing the Sling: Once the patient is safely and securely positioned on the new surface, detach the sling loops from the spreader bar. Carefully remove the sling from behind and under the patient.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your Molift RgoSling HighBack Padded. Follow these guidelines:

• Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the sling for any signs of wear, tear, fraying, or damage to the fabric, stitching, or loops. Do not use a damaged sling.
• Cleaning: The sling can be machine washed according to the care label instructions. Typically, slings can be washed at 60°C (140°F) and tumble dried at low temperatures. Always check the specific label on your sling.
• Storage: Store the sling in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Disinfection: If necessary, disinfect the sling using standard hospital-grade disinfectants, ensuring they are compatible with the sling material.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Molift RgoSling, consider the following common scenarios:

• Patient Discomfort: Ensure the sling is correctly sized for the patient and properly positioned. Check that no fabric is bunched or twisted. The padded areas should align with the patient's body contours.
• Sling Slipping: Verify that the leg loops are securely placed and, if applicable, crossed between the legs. Ensure the patient is centered in the sling.
• Difficulty Attaching Loops: Confirm that the lift's spreader bar is at an appropriate height and angle. Ensure the loops are not tangled.
• Uneven Lift: Check that all four loops are attached to the spreader bar at the same length or adjusted appropriately for the desired patient position.

If problems persist, consult a healthcare professional or contact Molift customer support.
