OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the SuperPole System from HealthCraft. Please
read and understand the instructions in this manual; keep manual for future
reference. It is your responsibility to see that your SuperPole System is
properly assembled, installed, and cared for. Failure to follow instructions in
this manual could result in serious injury or death. If you are not equipped
to undertake the outlined work, we would recommend that you have your
SuperPole System installed by a qualified contractor.
The SuperPole System is intended for moderate vertical load bearing to
provide sitting and standing support for people with reduced mobility. The
floor to ceiling range and maximum user weight dependent on model (see
Page 13 for details and product / accessory compatibility chart). Product is
not intended to support full body weight. The SuperPole System is not to
be used in any other way than described above.
The SuperPole is a high quality, commercial grade floor to ceiling safety
pole. The SuperPole must be installed between a structural floor and
ceiling by turning a jackscrew at the bottom of the pole. The pressure
created by the jackscrew is strong enough for the SuperPole to support the
user, yet it does not require drilling holes into the floor or ceiling. This is
ideal for relocating or removing the pole. NOTE: The top plate has two
holes that may be used to fix the plate directly to the ceiling joist if
necessary. See Page 4 for details.
The SuperBar is a high quality, commercial grade pivoting and locking
horizontal bar that connects to the SuperPole (floor to ceiling safety pole).
The horizontal bar can be lifted, pivoted and lowered to the next locking
position around the SuperPole. In any of the 8 lowered position (every 45
degrees) the SuperBar can be used to support the user. It is important to
set proper height and orientation of the SuperBar to optimize the user's
range of motion.
The SuperTrapeze is a high quality, commercial grade over-bed trapeze
that connects to the SuperPole (floor to ceiling safety pole). The
SuperTrapeze handle features two offset ladder rungs to allow for
improved use of arm strength and increased comfort. Additionally, it can
hook around the pole to store out of the way when not in use. The support
arm has an adjustable strap that attaches to the trapeze handle. It is
important to set proper height and orientation of the SuperTrapeze to
optimize the user's range of motion.
WARNING - PATIENT ENTRAPMENT (see additional guidelines)
The potential risk of entrapment (limb, neck, head, torso) between the pole
and adjacent item (i.e. bed, toilet, etc.) can be reduced or avoided by the
following strategies:
1. Situate the pole at a distance that is considerably smaller or larger than
that which could result in entrapment.
2. Consider situations that could change with time or usage such as
mattress compression, patient movement, bed position changes due to
electrically powered beds, etc.
3. Realize that this product is not intended as a physical constraint or
barrier to exiting the bed.
