SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the Dealer for further instructions. The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one seated surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient. Invacare Stand Assist and Transfer slings are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s patient lift system. Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual that is being lifted. If the patient lift is used in the area of a shower or bath, ensure that the patient lift is wiped clean of any moisture after use. DO NOT store the lift in a damp area or in a damp condition. Periodically inspect all components of the patient lift for signs of corrosion. Replace all parts that are corroded or damaged. The stand up lift may be operated by one healthcare professional for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures with a cooperative, partial weight‐bearing patient. However, since medical conditions vary, Invacare recommends ... -
Page 9: Operating The Lift
Operating the Lift Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to confirm proper mounting. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Use the handles to push or pull the patient lift. Lifting the Patient Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure that the patient’s feet are out of the way of the foot plate, otherwise injury may occur. Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patientʹs arms should be outside of the sling straps. Before lifting a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise the patient off the stationary object and check that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct the problem, then raise the patient and check again. During transfer, with the patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over uneven surfaces that would create an imbalance of the patient lift and could cause the patient lift to tip over. Use steering handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the patient lift. Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the sling (stand assist or transfer) from around the patient. Invacare does NOT recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare DOES recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting procedures to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object. Transferring the Patient Before transferring, check that the product’s weight capacity can withstand the patientʹs weight. Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport. Performing Maintenance Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation. After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Perform this inspection every six months thereafter. DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets. Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.
