Camel
The Camel by Mangar, is an inflatable lifting device
which is designed to sit up and lift a fallen person
from the floor. When inflated, the Camel lifts the
patient into a raised seated position ready to stand
with or without assistance.
This equipment may be used with or without a
helper as required.
The Camel is powered by a Mangar Airflo Plus
Compressor and controlled using a 4-Way Hand
Control. Please refer to the separate Airflo Plus
compressor instructions before operating.

WARNINGS
• This equipment MUST only be used by persons
familiar in its use.
• The medical state of a person needing to be
raised MUST be assessed before commencing a
lift.
• Ensure that the surface on which the Camel is to
be placed is free from sharp objects. NOTE: Place
a blanket, groundsheet, towel or similar under
the Camel if using it on a rough surface.
• If a slide sheet has been used to transfer the
patient onto the Camel it must be removed from
under the patient before commencing a lift.
• Sections 2, 3 and 4 MUST always be fully inflated
in sequence from the bottom up, in order to
maintain stability. NOTE: The backrest may be
partially inflated before any other section is
raised. Once the lowest section is fully inflated,
the backrest can be raised further as required.
• Do not operate the Airflo compressor in the
presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures
with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide, as these
mixtures can create a combustible environment
leading to the potential for fire or even an
explosion in the presence of a spark.
