	The ResQpod encloses the evacuee using hook & loop tape fastening

Note: There is no Australian or International Standard for this product, therefore we have adopted the testing requirements as set out in ISO 10535:2011 (Hoists for the transfer of disabled persons). This Standard covers testing for mechanical lifting hoists and associated lifting slings. It includes a method for obtaining a SWL for a lifting sling which lifts a person’s entire weight, which Pelican’s range of slings adhere to. We use the same materials, thread and method of stitching our slings, as we do for the ResQ products. Because people’s weight and size may be distributed differently between the chest, stomach and legs, it may be possible that the cross straps do not fit some bariatric people. If possible, we recommend this is tested before an emergency occurs. If this is the case, please contact us as we can supply extension cross straps.

Important

Manual Handling Warning: Products designed to help with manual handling must be used correctly to avoid injury to the carer, patient or user. We recommend practising in a safe environment with an able-bodied colleague. Immediately cease any manual handling movement at the first sign of risk or discomfort. Use the most appropriate piece of equipment. Complete a suitable risk assessment before using, and seek assistance where necessary. It is important to remember that manual handling products are designed to assist, they are not designed to take the place of manual handling.

How to thread a buckle: It is vital that a buckle is threaded on the webbing strap correctly. Incorrect fitting could result in the product not performing as expected, and may put the users at risk of injury. Click here to see our video demonstrating how to thread a new buckle onto the webbing.

Plan your escape route: Practise before there is an emergency. Be mindful of any obstacles that may impede an evacuation, such as furniture, bed footboards or headboards, and narrow doorways.

How to slide off the bed frame: Although we recommend to slide off feet first, you may have certain environmental factors which means that is not possible. For example, the footboard may not detach form the bed. Take guidance from your Manual Handling Trainer to determine the safest way to use this product.
