9.4 Cleaning and disinfection

Cleaning and Disinfecting the Hoist
CAUTION!
– To prevent cross-infection, the parts of the hoist that
come in contact with caregivers and patients must be
cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis.
– Any parts that come in contact with the patient must
be cleaned and disinfected before the hoist is used for
a next patient.
A soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of dish liquid,
is all that is needed to clean the hoist, lifting strap and strap hooks.
The hoist can be cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners.
Never use acids, alkaline or solvents for cleaning the hoist. Dry the
hoist carefully after cleaning.
The hoist, hand control and mounting parts can be damaged if the
hoist is cleaned any other way than stated above.
For disinfection, the hoist must be wiped with a moistened, firmly
wrung cloth with ordinary household disinfectants. Only use
disinfection detergents approved by the facility.

Cleaning the Sling

Refer to the washing instructions on the sling and to the sling manual
for cleaning details.

9.5 Battery Maintenance

If the audible indicator beeps and the blue indicator on the hoist
flashes after the hoist has been fully charged and only been in use for
a short period of time, the battery may need to be exercised.
To enable the battery to charge fully, the battery should be exercised
from time to time.
Following a long period of storage, it could also be necessary to
exercise the battery.
It is also suggested that the battery is exercised in situations where
the hoist is used infrequently, and/or where the hand control is
placed in the charger for long periods of time. In this situation, there
will always be capacity enough for a few lifts, but we recommend to
exercise the battery as soon as possible afterwards.
Exercise of the battery can be done by charging and discharging the
hoist completely several times.
1. Charge the battery until the LED turns green.
2. Remove the hand control from the charger.
3. Raise and lower the straps with a load for one minute.
4. Wait ten minutes.
5. Repeat Steps 3–4 until the battery is completely discharged.
Continue this process after the audible alert sounds and
the blue light flashes, indicating the battery is low.
6. Repeat Steps 1–5 two to three times.
