LABEL SPECIFICATIONS

Before attempting to raise a resident, a full clinical assessment of the resident’s condition & suitability must be carried out by a qualified person on the individual resident to determine if it is advisable that the resident will be lifted and/or transferred using a SARA 3000.

Upon opening the FLITE, write the name of the resident and the date that the FLITE was first used on the label in permanent marker.

ArjoHuntleigh FLITES must not be used to support a resident while bathing or showering.

ArjoHuntleigh FLITES are intended to be specific to the resident, ensuring that it is always the correct size, comfortable, and having respect for personnel hygiene.

The FLITE can be retained to be re-used with the resident as required until the FLITE has been soiled or damaged, is suspected of being contaminated, or if the resident no longer requires it.

For resident comfort and label visibility, ArjoHuntleigh FLITES shall be used with the DO NOT WASH label and attachment straps to the outside, and not against the resident.

WARNING

WARNING

Before raising, always make sure that Velcro strap A has been connected to Velcro strap B around the resident and that the Velcro straps have been pressed tightly onto each other (See Fig. 1).

Always ensure that the straps connecting the FLITE to the attachment clips are not twisted when the attachment clips are connected to the lifting arms. Use the correct method to attach the FLITE to the lifting arms, meaning that the same height of the attachment clip has to be used on both sides to avoid injury to the resident and damage to the FLITE.

Make sure the resident’s hands are outside of the FLITE when raising or lowering the resident with a SARA 3000 FLITE.
