10. Use the lifter carefully to minimize swinging, especially if the lifter and patient are close to any
furniture.
11. Once away from the bed, lower the patient so that his feet rest on the base of the lifter. This
will lower the center of gravity ensuring a maximum stability during the transfer.
12. When using the Poweo® 200, tilt the suspension to position the patient in the right position
depending on the chosen destination support: lying down position for bed rest or sitting
position for a chair.
When the patient is to be sat in a chair, tilting the suspension allows to achieve a sitting
position without any effort and to position the patient correctly onto the chair.
Setting the patient down onto the bed
1. As described before, lift the patient until his buttocks are just above
the bed. Approach the bed with the lifter while being careful of the
patient's feet.
2. Center the patient over the bed and turn him so that his feet point
to the foot end of the bed.
3. Lower the patient carefully using the remote control. It may be
necessary to hold his head.
Transfer from a (wheel) chair
1. When using the Poweo
patient in the sling.
2. Fold the sling as previously described.
If the patient's physique and ability allow, he should be encouraged
to take an active part in placing the sling. He can lean forward, lift
his thighs and help place the legs section.
