▪ Make sure that the sling form and size match the patient’s body. Respect and observe
the size and weight specifications for each sling.
▪
In case of differences in the maximum load for the sit-to-stand lift and sling system,
always observe the lowest maximum load.
▪
Each lifting or transfer procedure must be adequately planned to ensure an optimal
protection for the caregiver and the resident.
▪
Lift the patient/resident into a safe standing position and keep the transfer as short
as possible.
▪
Avoid slippery surfaces and thresholds and do not move the product over sloping or
uneven floors.
▪
Make sure that the resident is not hurt by the door frame when passing through doors.
▪
Activate the brakes of the castors of the wheelchair, the healthcare bed, the stretcher,
etc. to ensure a safe lifting and positioning of the resident.
▪
Check prior to lifting that all clips or loops are correctly fixed to the spreader bar.
▪
Make sure that the patient seizes the handles provided to that effect with both hands.
▪
Make sure that no one grabs in the hazardous areas (bracket, carrier frame) during
the adjustment procedure. Only use the adjustment of the carrier frame when there
is nothing in its range of movement. Pay particular attention to your feet and those of
the patient. Risk of crushing!
▪
Please check before and during the height adjustment procedure that your feet are
not located in the area of the castors or in the resident’s area.
▪
The operating time and the maximum load of the lifting unit must not be exceeded
(see 13.1 Technical description).
▪
During the movement of the sit-to-stand lift, the carrier frame must be closed.
▪
Do not stand between the sit-to-stand lift and an obstacle during the transfer
procedure.
▪
Ensure that the power supply is always switched on throughout the usage.
