Transfer to Stand
In this scenario, the patient is seated in a chair, on a bed, a couch, in a wheelchair or elsewhere. The patient
will need to be transferred to the FTS to assist in raising them to a standing position, (see Figure B, above).
The provider positions the FTS directly beside the patient and uses the wired-remote to position the seat
one to two inches below the height of the
patient’s
seated buttocks. This positioning facilitates a gravity-

unable to slide safely, a transfer board may be utilized to assist in the transfer.
Once the patient is fully seated in the center and to the rear of the FTS
’s seat, have them place their hands
on the rise-assist handles and let them know you are about to raise the seat.
Always ensure that the Tilt-Seat locks are disengaged to ensure the seat rotates
with the lifting person.

lever
is released or at the maximum height of 30” from the floor. Once the patient’s
weight shifts to their feet,

Once the lift is complete, using the wired remote, position the FTS seat to the floor or a normal seated
