SECTION 5—TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT
WARNING
DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation (SWL) of 200 kg (31 stone). Maximum patient
weight is 195 kg (30 stone).
DO NOT attempt to transfer a patient without approval of a Healthcare Professional.
Thoroughly read the instructions in this owner's manual, observe a trained team of experts
performing the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with
proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient. Training can be provided. Please
contact Invacare UK on 016567762222.
DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the attachment points of the
stand assist lift. Check that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points prior to
lifting a patient. If any attachments are not properly in place, correct the problem. When the sling is
elevated a few inches/cm off the stationary surface and before moving the patient, check again to
make sure that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower
the patient back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem - otherwise, injury or damage
may occur.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. The patient's
arms should be inside the straps.
Use the sling that is recommended by a Healthcare Professional for the comfort and safety of the
individual that is being lifted
.
DO NOT lock the rear casters of the stand assist lift when lifting an individual. Locking the rear
casters could cause the stand assist lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants.
The legs of the stand assist lift MUST be in the maximum open position for optimum stability
and safety. If the patient is in a sling and it becomes necessary to move through a narrow
passage, close the legs of the stand assist lift only as long as it takes to move through the passage.
When the stand assist lift is through the passage, return the legs to the maximum open position.
If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the stand assist lift under a bed, close the legs only
as long as it takes to position the stand assist lift over the patient and lift the patient off the
surface of the bed. When the legs of the stand assist lift are no longer under the bed, return the
legs to the maximum open position.
Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to ensure that it
is properly attached before the patient is removed from a surface.
The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case.
