Instructions for use

Raising and transferring the patient

For an ergonomic transfer, it is recommended to maintain a 90° angle for the back, the
knees and the ankles.
If the patient to be transferred is on a wheelchair, do not forget to block the brakes of
the chair before any transfer procedure.
Should the patient have its gravity center offset due to a very large size or
morphology, it is highly recommended to compensate this offset by shortening one of
the sling cords and by avoiding to raise the patient in a full upright position.
Whatever stand aid model is used, assisted rapid transfer is only for patients with
minimal tone in the lower limbs. When transferring, it is important that the patient's
shins are in contact with the lifter.
1. Place the sling on the lower back of the patient, making sure the bottom edge of the
sling is at the base of the spine. Pass the belt under the arms of the patient.
2. Secure the belt with the buckle and tighten the belt to secure the installation of the
sling.
3. Lower the handlebar to a minimum height while keeping it raised. Brake the lifter for
agitated patients or if the patient has spasms.
4. Position the lifter facing the patient, open the legs of the lifter if needed. The feet of the
patient should rest on the base of the lifter.
5. Lower the handle, then pass the sling under the arms of the patient.
6. Secure the sling cords tightly and symmetrically, by positioning them in the notch on the
handlebars. The ropes should preferably be placed from the inside to the outside of the
