2. Introduction: The Oxford Advance Patient Lift

Each lift is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being packed/shipped.
The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton and is used for both export and domes-
tic markets to ensure the safe arrival of the lift. A number of documents are supplied in a wallet
packed with each lift and should be kept safely for future reference.
• TEST CERTIFICATE
• DEALER GUARANTEE CARD
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and should be kept for reference purposes. To
properly maintain your lift please refer to the maintenance schedule included in this document. If
you are at all unsure what your country's servicing requirements are, please check with your dealer
and/or a local government agency.

Statement of Intended Use
The intended use of this lifting device is for the safe lifting and transfer of an individual from one
resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Joerns Healthcare recommends that the
transfer of a patient is fully risk assessed and conducted safely over a short distance only.
The Oxford Advance is suitable for patients in the SITTING, SITTING/RECUMBENT and
RECUMBENT positions.
The Oxford Advance is designed to support and promote safe patient handling and transfer for
both the patient and carer. It can be folded without the use of tools enabling it to be easily stored in
environments where space is limited. The Oxford Advance can also be separated into two sections
to facilitate onward transportation in a vehicle with a suitably sized boot.
The Oxford Advance patient lift incorporates a 6-point spreader bar and is designed to be used in
conjunction with the Oxford range of slings. The examples of slings suitable for use with this device
are listed as follows:
• Oxford Quickfit
• Oxford Full Back
• Oxford Quickfit Deluxe

Expected Service Life

Oxford Professional lifts are designed and tested for a minimum service life of ten (10) years,
subject to the use and maintenance procedures stated in this manual. Use, other than in accordance
with these instructions, may compromise service life.
