PROS™ Sling User Manual

Intended Use and Precautions

INTENDED USE

• The HoverMatt PROS (Patient Repositioning O-Loading System)

Sling is used to assist caregivers with patient positioning (including

boosting and turning), vertical lifts, lateral transfers, and proning.

By providing pressure relief of bony prominences to aide with Q2

compliance, reducing shear and friction when repositioning, and

enhancing microclimate management, the system provides a solution

to safely turn and reposition patients while reducing caregiver strain.

INDICATIONS

• Patients unable to assist in their own repositioning (including turning

and boosting) and lateral transfer.

• Patients that need Q2 turning for o-loading pressure.

• Patients that need to be placed in prone position.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Do not use with patients over the weight limit of 550 lbs without use

of a ceiling or ﬂoor lift.

• Do not use with patients over the weight limit of 1000 lbs with a

ceiling or ﬂoor lift (or the weight capacity of the lift – whichever is

the lower weight limit).

• Do not us as a sling with patients who are experiencing thoracic,

cervical or lumbar fractures that are deemed unstable unless a clinical

decision has been made by your facility.

INTENDED CARE SETTINGS

• Hospitals, long term or extended care facilities

PRECAUTIONS  FOR USE AS A SLIDE SHEET

• Caregivers must verify that all brakes have been engaged prior to

transfer.

• Use a minimum of two caregivers during lateral patient transfers.

• For in-bed positioning tasks, more than one caregiver may need to

be used.

• Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this

manual.

• When transferring or positioning on a low air loss mattress, set the

bed mattress air ﬂow to the highest level for a ﬁrm surface.

• Additional support products may be necessary between surfaces

when transferring.

• PRECAUTIONS – FOR USE AS A SLING

• For transfers more than one caregiver may need to be used.

• For in-bed positioning tasks, more than one caregiver may need to

be used.

• For proning, see HoverTech’s training video @ www.HoverMatt.com.

• The PROS Sling should only be used by trained personnel.

• Only use accessories that are authorized by HoverTech International.

• A clinical assessment should be carried out before lifting patients

with the PROS Sling.

• Make sure the PROS Sling is not attached to any object other than the

loop style hanger bar.

• When connecting to loop style hanger bar, ensure strap loop colors

match on the patient’s left and right side.

• Once the sling support straps are fully extended, make sure they are

properly connected to the hanger bar before the patient is lifted.

• Never lift a patient higher than is necessary to complete the lift/

transfer.

• Never leave the patient unattended while using the PROS Sling to lift

the patient.

• Use the PROS Sling according to both the lift and PROS Sling

instructions.

• If the weight limit diers among the patient lift, hanger bar, and

PROS Sling, then the lowest weight limit applies.

If there is any indication of damage, remove the PROS Sling

from service and discard.

Side rails must be raised with one caregiver.

For use with loop style hanger bar only.

In the OR – To prevent patient from slipping, always deﬂate the

HoverMatt and secure the patient and HoverMatt to the OR table

prior to moving the table into an angled position.

Instructions for Use – PROS Sling

PLACING PRODUCT UNDER PATIENT – LOG ROLLING TECHNIQUE

1. Open the product and place length-wise next to the patient.

2. Unfold the PROS Sling furthest from the patient to the side of the bed.

3. Tuck the other side under the patient as far as possible.

4. Roll the patient onto their side toward the unfolded sling. Unroll the

rest of the sling from under the patient to cover the bed.

5. Place the patient back in a supine position. Straighten sling to

remove any wrinkles.

ATTACHING TO BEDFRAME

1. Loosely attach Velcro hook to Velcro loop around solid points on the

bedframe (or to the headboard or siderails as your facility protocols

or bed type allow) to reduce sling migration.

2. Repeat the process on the other three corners of the sling.

3. Before boosting, turning, proning, lifts and/or transfers, disconnect

sling straps.

Instructions for Use as a Slide Sheet

BOOST/REPOSITION

(To ease boosting eorts, place bed in Trendelenburg prior to boosting.

1. Ensure brakes are locked. More than one caregiver may be needed

for this task. If using one caregiver, raise the siderails.

2. Place PROS Sling underneath patient using a log rolling technique.

Be sure patient is centered on the product prior to movement.

3. Using the handles on the sling, boost/reposition the patient using

proper ergonomic positioning for the caregiver.

Note: To use with a ceiling or ﬂoor lift, see strap suggestion guide on

page 5 for attachment to a loop-style hanger bar.

TURN/WEDGE PLACEMENT

1. Ensure brakes are locked. More than one caregiver may be needed

for this task. If using one caregiver, raise the siderails.

2. Be sure patient is centered on the product prior to movement.

3. Wedge Placement

a. To insert wedges, hold PROS Sling by the handles and place

wedges between the bed and sling.

b. Insert the tail of the wedge under the patient’s thighs. Ensure

the back part of the wedge is elevated until the position is set,

then lower the wedge down to secure in place with the

HoldFast™ foam.

c. Place the standard wedge to support the patient’s back about 1

hand’s width away from the tailed wedge. Ensure the back part

of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then lower the

wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.

d. Pull the tail through to the other side of the patient to anchor

the wedge.

e. After wedges are placed, make sure the sacrum is not touching

the bed (ﬂoating). If it is touching the bed, reposition wedges to

ensure sacral o-loading.

4. Hygiene Turn, HoverCover™ Replacement, Wedge Placement (non-air turn)

a. With a caregiver on each side of the patient, one caregiver hands

the sling straps to the caregiver who will be completing the turn

b. With good ergonomic posture, the caregiver turning the patient

will begin to pull on the sling straps facilitating the turn. Patient will

start to roll on their side towards the caregiver performing the turn

c. If replacing the HoverCover or performing a hygiene turn, the

opposite caregiver will brace the patient on their side while the

turning caregiver will release the handles and hold onto the

patient’s hip and shoulder to stabilize the patient.

d. While the patient is turned, hygiene can be performed and

HoverCover removed and replaced.

e. Repeat on the other side before placing wedges.

f. Find the patient’s sacrum and place the wedge under the sacrum.

Insert the tail under the patient’s thighs. Ensure the back part of the

wedge is elevated until the position is set, then lower the wedge

down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.

g. Place the standard wedge to support the patient’s back about 1

hand width away from the tailed wedge. Ensure the back part

of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then lower the

wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.

h. Return patient to supine position.

i. Pull the tail through to the other side of the patient to secure the

wedge.

j. After wedges are placed, make sure the sacrum is not touching

the bed (ﬂoating). If it is rouching the bed, reposition wedges to

TURN/WEDGE PLACEMENT CONTINUED

5. Wedge Placement with a Ceiling or Portable Lift (Single Caregiver)

a. Raise the side rails on the opposite side of the bed the patient

will be turned toward. Ensure the patient is centered and slide

the patient in the opposite direction of the turn using either the

sling to lift or a manual technique. This will allow the patient to be

centered on the bed when repositioned on the wedges.

b. Attach the shoulder and hip loop straps of the sling to the hanger

bar which should be parallel to the bed. Raise the lift to initiate the

turn.

c. Insert the tail of the wedge just under the patient’s thighs. Ensure

the back part of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then

lower the wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast™ foam.

d. Place the standard wedge to support the patient’s back about 1

hand’s width away from the tailed wedge. Ensure the back part

of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then lower the

wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.

e. After the wedges are placed, lower the patient onto the wedges,

ensure straps are not underneath the PROS Sling.

f. Pull the tail through to the patient’s other side until taught. Check

wedge placement by placing your hand between the wedges,

conﬁrming the sacrum is not touching the bed. If it is, reposition

wedges to ensure sacral o-loading.

PRONE

1. Ensure brakes are locked. Multiple caregivers will be needed for this

task.

2. Be sure patient is centered on the product prior to movement.

3. Slide patient & PROS Sling over to one side of the bed to ensure room

for the turn.

4. Place another HoverCover & PROS Sling on top of the patient. Fold

mat down to shoulder level to keep face exposed.

5. Roll the two slings together toward the patient to tightly cocoon the

patient.

6. With a ﬁrm grasp on the rolled slings, turn the patient onto their side.

Caregivers on opposite sides should exchange hand positions (hands

on top should switch with hands on bottom).

7. Continue with turn after hand positions are switched. Unroll the

slings and remove the top PROS Sling and HoverCover.

8. Position patient per facility protocol.

Note: To use as a sling with a ceiling or ﬂoor lift, see strap suggestion guide

below for attachment to a loop-style hanger bar.

Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance

PROS SLING CLEANING

If soiled, the PROS Sling may be wiped down with disinfectant wipes or a

cleaning solution used by your hospital for medical equipment disinfection.

A 10:1 bleach solution (10 parts water: one part bleach) may also be used.

NOTE: Cleaning with bleach solution may discolor fabric.

To help keep the PROS Sling clean, HoverTech International recommends

the use of the HoverCover™ Disposable Absorbent Cover. Whatever the

patient is lying on to keep the hospital bed clean may also be placed on

top of the PROS Sling.

The Single-Patient Use PROS Sling is not intended to be laundered.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the

PROS Sling

ensure that there is no visible damage that would render the PROS Sling

unusable. The

PROS Sling

should have all of its sling straps and handles

(reference the manual for all appropriate parts). If any damage is found that

would cause the system not to function as intended, the

PROS Sling

should be removed from use and discarded.

INFECTION CONTROL

The Single-Patient Use PROS Sling eliminates the possibility of

cross-contamination and the need for laundering.

If the PROS Sling is used for an isolation patient, the hospital should employ

the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and/or for

linens in that patient room.
