The EZ Out was designed for the safe, effective transfer of patients in and out of a vehicle. Its special design
allows caregivers to transfer patients from a variety of vehicle heights and configurations, is able to reach into the
hard-to-reach areas where patients may be located within a vehicle, and provides a safe method of transferring for
both caregivers and patients.
For safe operation of the EZ Out, operators should read through this manual, complete the competency checklist,
and practice on fellow staff members before use with patients.
Safety Notes
Perfect for emergency rooms, the EZ Out was designed for transferring patients from vehicle to
wheelchair or gurney, or any time you need to quickly and easily lift someone into or out of a vehicle.
The patient’s condition must be considered when determining the safest method for transferring the patient and
common sense must be utilized to determine if an individual is combative or has certain conditions that could
deem them inappropriate for transfer with a lift.
Important: Operators must be aware of the position of their feet when rolling the lift towards themselves to
avoid contact with their feet. Do not place your feet on the rail of the EZ Out.
The EZ Out is not for use in transporting patients. Transfers in and out of a vehicle should only be performed on
a level surface. Do not lock the wheels of the EZ Out when lifting a patient.
It is recommended that a minimum of two caregivers participate in transfers with the EZ Out. Operators should
evaluate the lifting situation to determine if additional caregivers are needed. A minimum of one caregiver must
be in control (grasping the handles) of the EZ Out at all times when the patient, with sling, is attached to the EZ
Out.
EZ Way designs slings specifically for use with the EZ Out. For the safety of the patient, do not use any other
type of sling when operating the EZ Out.
Store the EZ Out inside. Do not expose the unit to excess moisture.
All EZ Way equipment must be maintained regularly by competent staff according to the maintenance checklist
provided.
These instructions should be kept with the EZ Out at all times. Instructions can also be downloaded from EZ
Way’s website at
