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 chassis. This will
lower the center of gravity and will ensure a maximum stability during the transfer.
12. If using the Poweo® 300 with electric suspension, tilt the suspension to position the patient
in the right position depending on the chosen destination support: lying down position for
bed rest, sitting position for a chair.
When the patient is to be sat in the chair, tilting the suspension allows to acquire a sitting
position without any effort and to position the patient correctly on 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. If using the Poweo
suspension in the sitting position before installing the patient in the
sling.
2. Fold the sling as previously described.
