Your stand is designed to lift people, so do not use it for other purposes.
• Check that the patient's weight does not exceed the maximum weight that the lifter can lift.
• Do not force the controls and devices of the stand, they are all easy to use and do not need force.
• Maneuver the stander by pushing the handles or handles, never pushing the patient.
• Carefully manipulate the stander when transferring a patient and at a speed appropriate to the
situation.
• Move with the stand on flat, smooth surfaces. It is not recommended to use it on a slope of more
than 5 °: if you are obliged to circulate on a ramp, it is advised that a second person helps you. Never
use an electric stander under a shower.
• Never charge a stand-up battery near a bath or shower.
• The stand-up lifts are useful and effective when a patient has a certain degree of dependence cou-
pled with a caregiver need for basic care.
• They are designed for patients whose mobility is reduced but who can however be supported
temporarily on at least one leg (a minimum of tonicity by the patient is required), and who require
mechanical assistance to be put into standing and be moved.
• The stand-up lifts contribute to the stimulation of the patient and its mobility; stimulate the cardiac
system; combating against osteoporosis and all disorders associated with immobility such as falls
during transfers; stimulate brain activity thus favouring maintenance of continence; improves intestinal
activity and bladder function.
• Using a stand-up lift requires a capacity assessment of the patient.
• When using a stand-up lift, patients can be categorized in 2 categories:
1. Low-tonicity patients
2. Medium-tonicity patients
• How to properly use a stand-up lift (1.):
- Low-tonicity patients shall be transferred in a "semi-seated" position
