Important Safety Directions
Always ensure that:
• The lift is installed by an authorized Joerns /
Healthcare contractor or installer.
• The product is used by trained caregivers.
• Special consideration is taken when
transferring a patient who is connected to
electrodes, catheters or other medical devices.
• Violent impact during transfers is avoided.
• The sling is not damaged, torn or frayed and
the straps are in good condition and properly
fastened.
• The lifting steps found in this manual are
followed.
• All controls and safety features are used only
as per the rules specified in this manual. Never
attempt to force a control or button on the lift.
• The charger is not stored in a shower, bath or
other areas with high humidity.
• Any precautionary or instruction labels are
read and those that cannot be easily read are
replaced.
• The daily maintenance is carried out before
using the lift.
Shock Prevention
• Do not touch or use a lift with bare conductors
or a damaged power cord. Electrically live
equipment can result in serious injuries. If the
lift or charger has any exposed or damaged
wires, contact your local Joerns / Healthcare
agent immediately.
• Do not splash or expose the device to water or
moisture.
• Check nameplate for input voltage and
frequency requirements. These ones differ by
country. Do not attempt to use the lift in an area
that has a different voltage and frequency
requirement.
• Read battery and charger instructions
thoroughly before using or storing them.
Fire and Explosion Prevention
• Do not place or store the battery under direct
sunlight or near a heat source.
• Do not expose the batteries to flames.
They might open, causing a chemical leak.
• Do not use the charger in the presence of
flammable anaesthetic gases. The charger
might generate a spark, which could cause an
implosion.
• Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
WARNING: Before attempting a transfer, a
clinical assessment of the patient’s
suitability for transfer should be carried out
by a qualified health professional. A transfer
conducted when it should not can degrade
the patient’s health condition.
WARNING: Joerns Healthcare warns of
possible strangulation risks related to the
lifting strap and hand control cable, and
advises to take necessary precautions to
prevent these.
WARNING: This product contains small
parts (such as caps, see Fig. 6) that might
present a severe danger to children if
swallowed or inhaled.
CAUTION: Keep all components of the lift
clean and dry.
CAUTION: Excessive exposure of the hand
control to water (or other liquid) could cause
malfunction of the device.
