All references to the patient in these instructions
refer to the person being lifted, and references to
the attendant refer to the person who operates
the MAXI MOVE.
Techniques described in these instructions for
fitting slings and lifting patients from a reclining
position can be used for patients regardless of
where they may be lying; on the bed or on the
floor.
Similarly, lifting a patient from a chair employs the
same techniques as when lifting a patient from a
wheelchair or from a sitting position on the edge
of a bed.
These instructions specifically show both the clip
attachment slings being used with the standard
Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) and the loop
attachment slings for loop spreader bars. The
same methods and techniques described for the
standard DPS can also be applied to the optional,
powered DPS.
