STEP 1A

STEP 2A

Moving the Patient

STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the standing sling in combination with the

stand-up lift as a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one

resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person using the

standing sling in combination with the stand-up lift over any distance is not

recommended.

During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll

stand-up lift over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any

uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the stand-up lift and

could cause the stand-up lift to tip over. Use push handle on the mast at all times to

push or pull the stand-up lift.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.2.

1. Using the push handle, slowly move

the patient to the desired surface.

2. Refer to Transferring to on page 23

before lowering the patient onto the

desired surface.
