Mounting The Battery; Moving The Lift; Operating The Lift And Lifting The Patient; Transferring The Patient - Invacare Roze Manual Del Usario

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Mounting the Battery

Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to confirm proper mounting. Otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.

Moving the Lift

Use the steering handles on the mast to push or pull the patient lift.

Operating the Lift and Lifting the Patient

Ensure equipment used with the stand assist lift is of adequate strength to lift the load (e.g. sling). Ensure that should the
equipment malfunction that the person being lifted is not exposed to danger.
Before positioning the legs of the stand assist lift around the patient, make sure that the patient's feet are out of the way of the foot
plate, otherwise injury may occur.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patientʹs arms should be outside of the sling
straps.
Before lifting a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise the patient off the stationary object
and check that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct the problem, then
raise the patient and check again.
During transfer, with the patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over uneven surfaces that
would create an imbalance of the patient lift and could cause the patient lift to tip over. Use steering handle on the mast at ALL
times to push or pull the patient lift.
Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the sling (stand assist or transfer) from
around the patient.
Invacare does NOT recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the
lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare DOES recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting
procedures to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object.

Transferring the Patient

Before transferring, check that the product's weight capacity can withstand the patientʹs weight.
Wheelchair brakes MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport.

Performing Maintenance

The UK Health and Safety Executive's Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, require any equipment that is
used in the workplace to lift a load be subject to safety inspection on a six monthly basis. This must be carried out by a suitably
trained individual. Please refer to the HSE website for guidance (www.hse.gov.uk).
Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation. It is the responsibility of the person
responsible for the patient lift to ensure that this maintenance is carried out.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be
replaced. Perform this inspection every six months thereafter.
DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.
Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.
