Lifting the Patient

DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation of 200 kg.
Individuals that use the standing patient sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own
weight, otherwise injury may occur.
DO NOT lock the rear casters of the stand up lift when lifting an individual. Locking the rear casters
could cause the stand up lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Unlocking the rear casters
during lifting procedures allows the lift to stabilize itself while the patient is initially lifted from a
wheelchair, bed of any stationary object.
DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly attached to the attachment points on the stand
up lift. Make sure that the sling is properly attached BEFORE lifting the patient. If any attachments
are not properly in place, correct the problem. When the sling is elevated a few inches off the
stationary surface and before moving the patient, check again to make sure the sling and all
attachments are securely in place. If any problem is found, lower the patient back onto the stationary
surface and correct the problem - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient.
Invacare patient slings are made specifically for use with Invacare patient lifts. For the safety of the
patient, DO NOT intermix patient slings and patient lifts of different manufacturers.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.2 on page 17.
NOTE: The patient MUST be in a seated position first. Use the head section of the bed to get the patient upright then move legs over the side
of the bed.
1. Instruct the patient to hold onto the hand grips on both sides of the stand up lift (Detail "A" of FIGURE 4.2).
2. Instruct the patient to lean back into the standing or transfer sling.
