Transferring To A Bed - Invacare GET-U-UP LIFT Maintenance Manual

SECTION 5—TRANSFERRING

Transferring to a Bed

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.3.
NOTE: The lower center of gravity provides stability making the
patient feel more secure and the lift easier to move.
NOTE: The lift arms will stay in position until lowered.
1. Position the patient as far over the bed as possible.
NOTE: If patient is being transferred from a surface that is lower
than the bed, raise the patient above the surface of the bed. The
patient should be elevated just high enough to clear the bed with
their weight fully supported by the lift.
2. Lower the patient onto the bed.
3. Unhook the sling from all attachment points on the lift.
4. Instruct the patient to lift their feet off of the footplate.
Assist the patient if necessary.

the patient.
