No, the Arjohuntleigh Sara Stedy is designed for short transfers between sitting positions, such as from a bed to a chair, wheelchair, or toilet. It is not intended for transporting patients over longer distances. Using it for a 5-meter transfer may not be safe.

The Arjohuntleigh Sara Stedy is designed to transfer patients between sitting positions, such as from a chair, wheelchair, bed, or toilet. It is not intended for long periods of sitting or extended transportation. However, if the patient is suitable for transfer using the device and the distance is short (such as 5 meters on a flat surface), it may be possible to use it for that purpose. The caregiver should ensure safety and follow all instructions provided in the manual.
