Cleaning
Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE
detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean
your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of
time.
DO NOT wash under water pressure or steam clean.
Checking for damage and wear
It is extremely important to frequently check the areas of the patient lift that are under a great deal of
stress for damage and wear. These areas include slings, spreader bars, spreader bar suspension and mount-
ing hardware, pump mounting hardware and all pivot points. Inspect for signs of cracking, fraying,
deformation, and any loose components. Replace any defective parts immediately, and make certain that
the patient lift is not used until repairs are made. Contact your authorized Lumex dealer for replacement
parts.
Care of sling
Lumex slings are easy to use. They are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes.
The head support's plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be dried by using a
dryer on LOW heat or by hanging.
Note: Slings should not be bleached!
