SLING GUIDE

The Oxford/Hoyer Arise is suitable for patients in the SITTING, SITTING/RECUMBENT
and RECUMBENT positions. The slings suitable for this device are listed as follows:
* Oxford/Hoyer Transport sling
* Oxford/Hoyer Standing sling
USER GUIDE FOR STANDAID SLINGS
The Transport and Standing sling is an easy fit sling, suitable for standing and sup-
porting. It is not a general purpose sling and patients must be assessed for suitability
by a qualified person.
Transport Sling
Feed the sling down the back of the patient leaving the top of the commode aperture at
the base of the spine. Check the roll part of the sling is square across the patient's back.
Attach the support strap around the chest of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It
is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the loops to the Standaid. It may
be left off altogether if preferred. Ensure patient's arms are on the outside of the sling.
Raise the patient's leg and feed the leg strap under and up between the legs. Ensure
the sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other
leg. Attach the loops on the roll parts of the sling to the white hooks at the end of
the hand grips.
Without crossing the loops on the leg straps, attach to left and right black knobs on
the lifting fork. You would normally use the middle of the three loops. The patient is
now ready to be raised from the seat. Once clear of the seat, the patient will be more
comfortable if lowered back in to the sitting position.
Sunrise Medical recommends slings are checked regularly and before use for fraying or
damage. Do not use slings that are worn or damaged.

Standing Sling
Place the sling down behind patient's back between base of shoulder blades and bot-
tom of rib cage. Attach the support straps around the front of the patient. This strap
need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling
to the Standaid. It may be left off altogether if preferred. Ensure that the patient's
arms are outside the sling.

LIFTING WITH THE OXFORD/HOYER ARISE

Position Standaid so that the patient's feet fit in the foot tray and knees rest against
the knee pad. Initially attach the longer loops of the sling to the grey hooks at the
end of the Standaid hand grips. The patient's hands should be placed on the hand-
grips. (Once the patient is used to the lift the shorter loops may be used to achieve a
more upright position). Then push UP button on handcontrol to raise the patient to
the standing position.
