Floor to Stand
When the patient needing a lift is on the floor, staff scoots the FTS to the patient and assists the patient
to slide or tilt onto the seat.
If the patient is unable to scoot onto the beveled seat, the provider positions
the FTS
directly behind the fallen person with the beveled seat as close to the fallen person’s buttocks as
possible and then assists the patient to tilt upward to a seated position. This leaves the patient seated
on the FTS seat.
Once the patient is fully seated in the center and to the rear of the FTS
’s seat, the
patient places their
hands on the rise-assist handles for stability. The provider then presses the lever
“UP”, as indicated by
the words
on the wired remote. The seat will rise until the “UP”
lever is released or at the maximum
height of 30” from the floor.
The Floor-to-Stand function is the complete fall-recovery seated-lift use cycle for Human Floor Lifts.
Once the seated person’s weight shifts to their feet, they are standing
, (see Figure A, Page 11).
Once the lift is complete, using the wired remote, position the FTS seat to the floor or a normal seated
height based on the preference of the primary user and return the FTS to its storage location.
Floor to Transfer
When the patient is transferring to a bed, wheelchair or a commode, they follow the Floor-to-Stand
instructions above. When the patient will be transferring to a wheelchair, bed or other destination, the
FTS should be stopped at one to two inches above the destination seat allowing for a slight-downward-
gravity-assisted transfer.
The provider then assists the patient to slide from the FTS to the receiving seat. The patient should
reach out for the Rise-assist handle on the opposite side of the FTS to provide upper body leverage in
the transfer motion. If the patient is unable to slide safely, a transfer board may be utilized to assist
with the transfer.
Once the transfer is complete, using the wired remote, position the FTS seat to the floor or a normal
seated height based on the preference of the primary user and return the FTS to its storage location.
