8.3 Raising the patient from a wheelchair
CAUTION
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 make
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.
CAUTION
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.
Please proceed in the following way to raise a patient from a wheelchair:
1. Engage the parking brakes of the wheelchair.
2. Wrap the backside of the sling around the patient/resident and fasten the clip
fastener of the belly part. Please make sure to use the correct sling size adjusted to
the
patient and check that the patient’s arms are located outside the sling.
3. Spread the legs of the carrier frame and lower the spreader bar completely.
4.
Position the NORA in front of the patient and adjust it so that the patient’s legs are
resting on the 3D-Comfort-System and form a right angle with the thighs. The
patient’s feet must be located in the middle of the footplate.
5. Activate the brakes on the rear castors.
6. Tighten and fasten the two leg safety belts.

attachment points of the sling bow.

correctly attached (also refer to section 8.1.2.1 Safely suspending the clips in the
holder).
CAUTION

Check prior to lifting that all clips or loops are correctly fixed to the
spreader bar.

Make sure that no one grabs in the hazardous areas (bracket,
carrier frame) during the adjustment procedure. - Risk of crushing.

Check before and during the height adjustment procedure that
your feet are not located in the area of the castors or in the
