Raise the patient up, until they are supported in a
sitting position - their feet being supported on the
footrest. (See fig. 10).
Note: Be careful not to raise the patient too
high, as this will negate the comfort of the
transfer sling.
Release the brakes, and transport the patient to the
new position, i.e. wheelchair, bed, etc.
Note: Transportation is possible with the
chassis legs open or closed, but will be easier
through doorways etc., with the chassis legs
closed.
When the patient is seated in the new position, and
you wish to remove the sling, unloop the leg support
straps, unclip the shoulder support attachment clips,
and remove the sling from around the patient.
If the patient lacks sitting balance, and has
been returned to the bed on the Sara 2000,
a second attendant may be needed to
support the patient while the sling is being
removed. (See fig. 11).
