A loaded hoist should always be used on flat, smooth surfaces that are free of obstacles. If moving a patient
along a sloping surface, the gradient must not be greater than 5º and it is recommended to use the assistance
of a helper. Never leave a hoist loaded with a patient on a sloping surface. Transfer the patient with the hoist
legs in parallel position at a maximum speed of 3 km/h (0.8 m/s).
Keep the hoist away from water, humidity, splashes and corrosive atmospheres (indoor swimming pools, the
sea, etc.). Do not use the electric hoist in the shower or recharge the battery in the bathroom.
Do not force the safety controls and devices. Do not push the mast, the boom or the patient to move the hoist.
Do not lift or lower the patient with the rear wheel brakes on. Apply the brakes only to transfer a patient from
the hoist to a chair or a bed, or the reverse.
Is not allowed use the hoist without shoes.
If hoist have been displaying in the sun during long time, could have parts with risk of burn.
BEFORE MOVE THE PATIENT Consider individual hazards, including:
•
Mobility and capacity of fastening of patient
•
Risk of crushing/squeezing.
•
Potential falls.
•
Disturbed patients.
•
Patients with learning difficulties.
•
Small children and pregnant women.
•
Persons without the mental capacity to recognize unsafe behavior.
•
Unauthorized persons.
Anybody who is authorized to use the hoist must be able to do so in a safe and controlled way.
Due to the continuous, smooth lifting action of the moving parts, there is risk of entrapment. When
operating these parts, the user and/or the carer must make sure that there are no body parts in the areas where
they may become trapped.
2.2.- Electrical safety precautions
All the hoist's electrical connections must comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
standards. The power supply should be equipped with an earth-leakage circuit breaker with a maximum
operating current of 30 mA, as prescribed by standard IEC 364-5-53.
This product complies with the standards EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-2 on electrical apparatus and the
electromagnetic interference of medical devices. Therefore, it does not interfere or is not interfered when
combined with other medical devices that also comply with the electromagnetic standards.
Some apparatus, particularly older devices, which do not comply with electromagnetic compatibility standards
may, however, cause or be affected by interference when used with this hoist. If using such apparatus, you must
make sure that any potential malfunction will not harm the patient or any other person.
Before moving the hoist, make sure the power supply cable is unplugged from the mains. Any work on
electrical parts may only be undertaken by authorized, qualified personnel.
