SystemRoMedic ShellHighBackSling Bedienungsanleitung
Manual no: 00871 En Rev 4
ShellHBSling is easy for the caregiver to apply and it gives the patient a feeling of security. It features leg sections, which
means that the patient does not sit on the sling. Instead, the sling provides support from the tailbone up over the head
and under the legs. ShellHBSling has a concave shape and provides excellent support for the head. The sling enables an
upright seated posture that can be regulated via the two sling loop alternatives.
SystemRoMedic includes a wide range of functional, comfortable, high-quality slings that can be adapted for different
types of lifting and for patients with different needs. The slings are available in several different materials and in sizes from
XXS to XXL. All models are safe and very easy to use and are rated for lifting patients weighing up to 300 kg. The choice
of model and material depends on the patient’s needs and the transfer situation.
Visual and mechanical inspection
Check the condition and function of the sling regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to ensure that
seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. Apply load to the device
and check to ensure that clasps, handles, etc. withstand heavy load. If there are signs of wear, the product must be
discarded.
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
To prevent discomfort and the risk of the patient sliding out of the sling, trial fit the sling carefully. First, apply the sling’s
back loops to the slingbar, and then apply the leg support loops. Use a slingbar that has been tested.
The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled system. Always
check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if you have any questions.
Functional inspection
Always read the manual

1.Hold the sling in one hand and place your
other hand in the pocket at the lower edge
of the sling. This is easier if the patient leans
forward or can be helped to lean forward
slightly. Guide the sling down behind the
patient’s back, by sliding it along the back of
the chair/wheelchair or along the bed, ideally,
to the tailbone. The mid-section of the sling
should follow the patient’s spine.
2. Take care to guide the sling down to the
patient’s hips. Do this by pushing the sling
into the space in the back corners of the
wheelchair seat.
3. Then, work the leg sections out along
the outside of the patient’s thighs. Face the
patient and pull the lower edge of the leg
support, so that the sling slides into place
around the hips. Light pressure against the
patient’s knees prevents him/her from sliding
forward in the chair.
4. After checking to ensure that the leg sup-
ports are of equal length on both sides, place
them under the patient’s thighs. Cross the
leg supports and hook them to the slingbar.
Start raising the lift, when the straps become
taut, stop and check that everything is ok
before proceeding with the lift.
Application of the sling when the patient is sitting in a wheelchair/chair or in bed
1. Fold the leg support and allow it to slide
under itself when you pull it out at the
outside of the thigh.
2. Then, pull the sling up behind the
patient’s back.

Application of the sling when the patient is lying in bed, on a stretcher or on the floor
1. Turn the patient towards you. Place
the sling so that the product label is fac-
ing the underlying surface and the sling’s
mid-section follows the spine. The upper
edge of the sling should be high enough
so that the sling supports the head and
the lower edge is level with the tailbone.
Place the sling as far in under the patient
as possible. Push the back-section loop
under, so that you can reach it once you
have turned the patient back onto the
sling.
2. To reduce the number of application
steps, you can fold the back section up
against the patient’s back and place the
leg supports between the patient’s knees
when he/she is turned towards you, and
then pull them forward when the patient
is lying on the sling.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling
and pull out the head support, back sec-
tion and leg support.
4. Cross the leg supports and hook
them to the slingbar.
Start raising the lift, when the straps
become taut, stop and check that every-
thing is ok before proceeding with the lift.
1. Lay the leg supports between the
patient’s knees.
2. Turn the patient towards you and fold
the sling in under the patient so that the
fabric slides towards you when you pull
it out after you have turned back the
patient.

Alternative application of the sling’s leg supports
1. In the standard application the leg supports are crossed before they are hooked to the slingbar.
2. If it is desired to keep the legs of the patient together, for dignity or comfort the leg supports can also be overlapped
under both legs.
3. For more access to the perinea area of the patient. You can even choose not to cross the leg supports. Note, however,
that this entails a risk that the patient might slide out of the sling.
