Recumbent Patient Transfer, EZ Way Stretcher Lift
Recumbent patients can be transferred directly and
safely into the tub, on the height-adjustable EZ
Way stretcher lift. Refer to the EZ Mobile Bath Lift
System operator’s manual for correct procedure.
Transferring Patient on Stretcher Lift into Tub
1.
Prefill the tub in its lowest position and
physically test water for proper temperature.
Move patient on the stretcher lift over tub
and lock the lift casters. Important: Raise the
stretcher to ensure clearance over the rim of
the tub. This is to avoid the patient from being
pinched between tub rim and stretcher frame
during transfer. The footrest in the tub is not
used together with the stretcher.
2.
Raise the tub to a comfortable working height.
When the tub is in position, you can lower the
stretcher into the tub using the lift. Important:
Before raising or lowering the tub, make
sure that the patient’s hands firmly grasp the
stabilizing bar on stretcher or that the patient’s
arms are crossed over his/her body. This is to
avoid pinching arms or fingers between the
stretcher frame and tub rim when the stretcher
is lowered or raised.
3.
After bathing, lower the tub to raise the patient
above the water level to allow water to drip into
the tub. You can use the patient shower system
to rinse the patient in this position. The patient
can then be dried or wrapped in a bath towel
and transferred away from the bathtub.
Please note: Wipe beneath stretcher to prevent
water from dripping on the floor.
Important: Safety belts must be securely fastened
around patient at all times. For further details,
refer to the EZ Mobile Bath Lift System operator’s
manual.
