SECTION 5—TRANSFERRING TO
DETAIL "A"

Transferring Patient to Bed

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.2 on page 25.
NOTE: The lift arms will stay in position until the down button is pressed.
1. Position the patient as far over the bed as possible (Detail "A").
NOTE: If patient is being transferred from a surface that is lower than the bed, press the up button
to raise the patient above the surface of the bed. The patient should be elevated just high enough to
clear the bed with the weight fully supported by the lift. The lower center of gravity provides
stability, making the patient feel more secure and the lift easier to move.
2. Press the down button and lower the patient onto the bed.
Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters of the stand-up lift only when
positioning or removing the sling (standing or transport) from around the patient.
3. Lock the rear swivel casters of the stand‐up lift. Refer to Locking/Unlocking the Rear
Casters on page 16.
4. Unhook the standing or transport sling from all attachment points on the stand‐up lift
(Detail "B").
5. If equipped, unfasten the leg strap from around the patientʹs legs.
6. Instruct the patient to lift their feet off the footplate.
NOTE: Assist the patient if necessary.
7. Remove the standing or transport sling from around the patient.
8. Pull the stand‐up lift away from the bed.
