Raising and Lowering the Patient
At the beginning of the lifting process, keep a hand
on the sling to ensure it remains in the correct
position. Lift only from a safe, seated position.
Bring the Levanto up to
the patient, spreading the
base as required. Place
the patient’s feet on the
footplate and lock the rear
casters.
If possible, have the patient
grasp the patient handles
with both hands.
Adjust the shin pads to
approximately 2cm/0.8”
below the patient’s knees.
There should be no space
between the leg and the
pad.
Place the sling around the
patient’s back and pass the
ends under the patient’s
arms. Secure belt and
tighten.
Attach sling clips to Levanto
lift arm clips. Ensure all
straps are even in length.
Using the up/down button
raise or lower the patient
approximately 2.5cm/1”
to ensure the straps are
secure. Continue with lift.
Ensure the lift brake is not
engaged when seating a
patient.
Ensure that if lowering
patient into a product (ex.
wheelchair), the brake is
engaged or the seat secure.
Remove the sling only after
the patient is fully seated
on a firm surface.
