Preparing To Lift - Invacare Roze User Manual

Invacare® Roze™
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
– Use the sling that is recommended by a
healthcare professional for the comfort and
safety of the individual that is being lifted.
– 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.
– Be sure to check the sling attachments each
time the sling is removed and replaced to
ensure that it is properly attached before the
patient is removed from a surface.
Refer to the patient sling brochure for more
information.

6.2 Preparing to Lift

WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
– Ensure equipment used with the lift is of
adequate strength to lift the load (e.g. sling).
Ensure that should the equipment malfunction
the person being lifted is not exposed to
danger.
– Before positioning the legs of the 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. Patient's
arms should be outside of the sling straps.
1. Refer to the Safety section of the manual and review
the information in Safe Lifting before proceeding further.
Observe all warnings indicated.
2. The patient MUST be in a seated position to use the
stand assist lift. If the patient is on a bed, use the head
section of the bed to get the patient upright then move
their legs over the side of the bed.
