Lifting The Patient - Invacare Stand Assist Manual Del Usuario

WARNING!
Risk of Injury
The lift could tip and endanger the patient and
assistants.
– The legs of the lift must be in the maximum
open position for optimum stability and safety.
If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to
maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of
the lift only as long as it takes to position the
lift over the patient and lift the patient off the
surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift
are no longer under the bed, return the legs of
the lift to the maximum open position.

5.3 Lifting the Patient

WARNING!
– DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation
(SWL) of 159 kg (25 stone).
– Individuals that use the stand assist sling MUST
be able to support the majority of their own
weight, otherwise injury may occur.
– 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. Unlocking the rear casters during
lifting procedures allows the lift to stabilize
itself while the patient is initially lifted from a
wheelchair, bed of any stationary object.
– DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not
properly attached to the attachment points on
the stand assist lift.
– Make sure that the sling is properly attached
BEFORE lifting the 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 the sling and
all attachments are securely in place. If any
problem is found, lower the patient back onto
the stationary surface and correct the problem
- otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
– Adjustments for safety and comfort should be
made before moving the patient.
