1.2 Intended Use

WARNING!
Risk of Falling
The Invacare stand assist lift is NOT a transport
device. It is intended to transfer an individual
from one resting surface to another (such as a
bed to a wheelchair).
Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are
specifically designed to be used in conjunction
with Invacare patient lifts.
To avoid injury or falls:
– Patients who are transferred and positioned
using the stand assist lift MUST be cooperative,
coherent and have head and neck control.
Otherwise, injury may occur.
– Patients who are transferred and positioned
using the stand assist sling MUST be able
to support a majority of their own weight.
Otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Refer
to the sling user manual for more information.
Stand assist lifts are battery-powered transfer devices,
designed to be used in most of the common lifting
situations, for example:
• Between the bed and a wheelchair
1078985-I
• To and from the toilet

maximum weight limit stated in technical data.
Selecting the appropriate slings and accessories for each
individual is important to assure safety when using a patient
lift. See Invacare's sling and accessory user manuals for
further information on those devices.
Invacare recommends that the patient be transferred to a
shower chair or other means for bathing.
The stand assist lift can be turned (rotated) in place for
transfers with limited floor space.
