Prism General Purpose Clip Sling

Application

ONLY TO BE USED WITH STUD TYPE CARRY BARS

The Prism General Purpose Clip Sling is designed for ease of fitting and general

purpose transfer. It can be used to transfer from the seated to recumbent position or

from recumbent to seated. The person must be assessed by a competent person

who must be fully trained in the suitability, application and fitting of the sling. Carers

should always be trained in the use of hoists and slings.

Prior to use of the sling, the following instructions must be read and adhered to as

well as the instructions for the hoist to which the sling is to be attached.

The plastic stiffeners supplied with the sling MUST be placed in the head support

pockets prior to use.

Sling Inspection

All Prism Slings are manufactured to meet and exceed the requirements of

BS EN 10535:2006 ’Hoists for the transfer of disabled persons– Requirements and

test methods’. Slings should be inspected prior to use and after washing. Damaged

or badly worn slings should be discarded… The label on the sling contains vital

information to identify the sling - if any part of the label becomes illegible, then it

must be removed from service and replaced.

The sling should be visually inspected with regard to the following items:-

 Any signs of damage (i.e. cuts, frays, tears, burns) to the sling straps

 Any sign of damage to the plastic attachment clips.

 Any signs of stitching becoming undone on any part of the sling

 Any signs of the fabric being stretched, tearing or undue wear

 Any signs of discolouring or bleaching on the material

 Is the sling complete? i.e. all straps present, stiffeners in place - where

applicable, etc

 Label clearly legible

Maximum Load (Safe Working Load - SWL)

The maximum load for the sling is clearly marked on the label of the sling. The

maximum load will also be displayed on the hoist and any detachable elements of

the hoisting system.

DO NOT exceed the maximum load stated on any of the equipment.

Prism General Purpose Clip Sling - Material Variants / Uses

Polyslip:

The sling is made from a close knit polyester material and has nylon ‘rip

stop’ material to the outer side of the leg sections to aid the fitting of the

sling. This is a General Purpose Clip Sling and can be used for sitting and

recumbent transfers between chairs, beds, floor, baths, changing beds,

WC’s etc.

Spacer:

The sling is made from knitted polyester “spacer” fabric that is manufactured with an

‘air gap’ internally. The material stretches slightly in all directions and moulds

perfectly to the shape of the person being hoisted. This is a General Purpose Clip

Sling that can be used as the Poly, but has the added benefit of being suitable to be

left in position if required *.

SLING CARE / LAUNDERING

GENERAL.

Remove the plastic stiffeners from the sling prior to washing - Replace before use

Sensitive laundering of lifting slings will extend the service life of the product. Conversely,

improper laundering will reduce the service life and possibly affect the strength and integrity

of the sling.

To be avoided:

 Use of bleach at washing, particularly hypochlorite [may cause structural damage]

 Overheating the sling [temperatures in excess of 100º may cause extreme shrinkage

and structural damage]

 Gas Sterilisation

 Mechanical pressure or rolling during washing or drying of the sling

Use of non-biological detergents is not recommended (especially Fairy Non - Bio): as these

types of detergent contain bleaching agents that can degrade the strength of the sling.

The use of fabric conditioners is not recommended.

Any hook & loop fastenings should be closed prior to laundering to avoid the ‘hook’ side

damaging the sling or other items laundered with it.

GENERAL SOILING.

The sling should be laundered with soap or detergent at 50°C on a standard

domestic cycle.

DISINFECTION.

The sling should be laundered to ensure a ‘period at temperature’ of:

 10 minutes at 65ºC

 3 minutes at 72ºC

Following NHS guidelines, extra time should be added to ensure thorough mixing of hot

water through the wash load.

It may be that available equipment does not allow the required level of temperature control.

The sling may be washed on a 90ºC wash cycle, though it is likely that some moderate

shrinkage and/or colour bleed will occur.

DRYING.

Slings will air dry quite quickly in a warm room.

Slings should not be placed over radiators or convectors.

Slings may be CAREFULLY tumble dried on a cool [60ºC] setting and short cycle. The sling

should be checked at intervals not exceeding 5 minutes.

Do not allow the sling to overheat.

STORAGE.

Store away from direct sunlight in clean dry conditions away from chemicals, sharp

objects or other potential causes of damage.

The Sling should last in excess of 5 years if the above guidelines are adhered to.

All Prism Slings have a manufacturers guarantee of 12 months.
