sample resident (Resident 369) was free from
accidents including a fall, during a transfer
using a mechanical lift by:
The facility failed to:
1. Failing to ensure a monitoring system was in
place for the mechanical lift sling (resident care
equipment/machine used to lift and move a
resident into and out of bed or chair using a
sling that fits under the person's body and
connects with the machine's lift frame) to
ensure the staff discarded immediately,
bleached, cut, torn, frayed, or broken slings.
2. Failing to ensure there was a system in
place for the staff to remove slings deemed
unsafe for use or had been in circulation
beyond the manufactures recommended time
line.
3. Failing to ensure the staff labeled each sling
with a number as indicated in the facility's
policy and procedure, to ascertain when the
sling must be removed from use.
4. Failing to ensure the facility's laundry staff
and Certified Nursing Assistants were trained
for how to inspect the mechanical lift sling to
ensure the sling is safe prior to each use.
These deficient practices resulted in part of the
mechanical lift sling strap ripping in half during
transfer, causing Resident 369 to fall to the
floor, and sustain a hip fracture. Resident 369
required hospitalization for 4 days and
underwent general anesthesia for a retrograde
intramedullary rodding of the left femur fracture
(a type of hip surgery to repair the broken
bone).

On June 18, 2018, an unannouced onsite
inspection of the facility was made regarding a
Facility Reported Incident regarding resident
safety/falls.
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 369 was admitted on January 20,
2017, with diagnoses including but not limited
to cerebral infarction (stroke) and hemiplegia
(paralysis on one of the body) and hemiparesis
(weakness on one side of the body) affecting
the right side of the body.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an
assessment and care screening tool) dated
March 28, 2017, indicated Resident 369's
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily
decisions making were intact. The MDS
indicated Resident 369 required extensive
assistance from one person for moving in bed,
transferring from bed to chair, dressing, eating,
toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of the care plan for Self Care Deficit
initiated on December 4, 2017, and revised in
April 2018, indicated Resident 369 had a selfcare deficit related to stroke and right side
hemiplegia and hemiparesis. The care plan
indicated Resident 369 transfers with a
mechanical lift when the resident wishes to get
out of bed. The interventions in the care plan
did not address precautions to be taken when
using the mechanical lift and the sling to ensure
safe transfers.
The Fall Risk Evaluation dated April 10, 2018,
indicated Resident 369 was at high risk for
falls. The Monthly Record of Vital Signs and
Weight dated May 5, 2018, indicated Resident
369 weighed 139 pounds.

June 2, 2018, indicated two certified nursing
assistants (CNA) were trying to put (transfer)
Resident 369 back to bed from the shower bed
using the mechanical lift when the sling strap
(attaches the sling to the lift) ripped off and the
resident fell onto the floor. The report indicated
Resident 369 complained of severe left leg and
hip pain (pain level of 10 out 10 on the pain
scale rating, with zero being no pain and 10
being the worst pain possible). The physician
was notified and Resident 369 was transferred
to a general acute care hospital (GACH) via
emergency ambulance services.
A review of the GACH emergency (ED)
department notes dated June 2, 2018,
indicated Resident 369 presented to the
emergency room for evaluation of left thigh
pain after falling. The ED notes indicated
Resident 369 reported she was on a sling, it
broke, and she fell approximately two feet to
the ground.

tomography scan allows doctors to see inside
your body. It uses a combination of X-rays and
a computer to create pictures of your organs,
bones, and other tissues) result from the GACH
dated June 2, 2018, indicated Resident 369
had a displaced (pulled out of alignment) acute
(new) fracture of the femoral diaphysis (hip
bone was broken).

On January 11, 2019, at 8:37 a.m., during an
interview LS 2 stated she checked the slings
before returning them to the nurses to make
sure nothing was ripped and there was no
possibility of the slings ripping when used by
the licensed staff. The facility was unable to
provide any documented evidence of LS 2
inspecting the slings.
On January 11, 2019, at 9:15 a.m., during an
interview, CNA 2 explained that on June 2,
2018, CNA 1 was helping her transfer Resident
369 back to bed from the shower bed when
one of the loops of the sling ripped and the
resident fell on the floor. CNA 2 stated she
checked the sling before using it. CNA 2 stated
she avoided using slings that have areas that
are "faded, and have lose strings". The facility
was unable to provide any documented
evidence that the sling was inspected before
use.
On January 11, 2019, at 10:05 a.m., the sling
that was used during the incident was provided
by the Director of Nursing. The sling did not
have any of the manufactures label and did not
have a label or an identifying number from the
facility, to determine the brand, type of sling, or
the length of time the sling was in use, to
ascertain when the sling must be removed from
use. The loops on one of the straps was ripped
completely in half. (Photos of the sling were
taken on the same day of observation.)

stated laundry staff checked the slings and
removed those that were not safe for use. The
DON stated the laundry staff would then notify
nursing, and housekeeping supervisor so that
new slings may be purchased/provided. The
DON stated the facility did not have a log to
keep track of how many slings were in
circulation in the facility. The DON stated there
was no documented system of monitoring the
wear and tear of the slings and of keeping track
how long a sling had been in circulation and
when the sling should be removed (from use.)
On January 11, 2019, at 2:15 p.m., during an
interview the DON stated the CNAs inspect the
sling before each use to ensure the sling was
safe to use. The DON stated there was no
documented evidence of the daily inspection of
the slings by the CNAs. The DON stated the
facility now has a monthly monitoring system
and log for the sling (inspection) done by
nursing, the Director of Staff Development
(DSD), the housekeeping staff and the infection
control nurse. The DON stated the system (for
sling inspection) was not in place before
Resident 369 fell.
On January 11, 2019, at 3:19 p.m., during a
concurrent interview and record review of the
CNAs personnel files, the DSD stated the
CNAs are trained on how to use the
mechanical lift as well as the sling. A review of
the employees files for CNA 5, CNA 6, CNA 7
and CNA 8 all indicated they had training on
"Mechanical Lift Transferring" The checklist
used during the training did not mention use of
the sling and steps to take prior to transferring
a resident. The DSD stated there was no
lesson plan for this training prior to June 2,
2018, (before Resident 369 fell.)

slings and have always used the brand
Proactive. The AADM stated the sling involved
in the accident was a Proactive brand. The
AADM provided the invoices for the purchase
of the sling, but since the sling used during the
incident did not have any label, it was not
possible to determine when the sling was
purchased.
On January 11, 2019 at 3:40 p.m., a review of
Proactive Medical Product Full Body Sling
Instruction Manual provided by the facility
indicated the useful life of this product is six
months from the date of purchase under
normal use, however heavy use or excessive
washing may reduce the useful life of the
product. The manual indicated to carefully
inspect each sling before use for wear and
damage to the seams, fabric, straps, and strap
loops. The manual indicated torn, cut, frayed or
broken slings can fail resulting in personal
serious injury to the user.
On January 11, 2019, at 4:19 p.m., during an
interview and review of laundry staff employee
files, the Housekeeping Supervisor (HS)
provided evidence of training on sling laundry
