Page 8: Section 1-General Guidelines
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 resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person suspended in a sling over ANY distance is NOT recommended. 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 of these products is prohibited and will void the lift’s warranty. 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. -
Page 9: Operating The Lift
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Stand Assist Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand assist sling is positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient’s arms are outside the stand assist sling. Stand Assist Slings: The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury. Transfer Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transfer sling is at the base of the spine and the patient’s arms are outside the transfer sling. Transfer Slings: DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transfer sling, otherwise injury may occur. DO NOT use any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during transfer. After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard immediately. DO NOT alter slings. Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode). If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards. When connecting slings equipped with color coded straps to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back of patient for support. Using long section will leave little or no support for patientʹs back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head support when lifting a patient. 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. -
Page 10: Transferring The Patient
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES 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 objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles 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.
