Patient Transport
The FTS-600 is designed to provide lift and transport functionality in acute, post-acute and long-term care
facilities. Many times, a patient needs to get from one point across the room to another point in the same room.
The FTS is designed to lift and transfer patients between seats or from the floor and to transport patients for
short distances eliminating multiple transfers in the effort to move a mobility-challenged patient across the
room.
The FTS can transport patients of any weight with minimal effort on the part of the provider. The procedure is
as follows:
Transfer the patient to the FTS from wherever they are seated.
Raise or lower the seat platform from 12 “to 14” from the floor.
Inform the patient that they will be lifted slightly. Many patients like to place their feet on the baseplate of the
FTS as they are being transported.
From the rear of the machine, with the patient on the seat at 12”to 14” from the floor, the provider places their
right foot on the Stainless Foot pad while pulling the transport handles rearward to tilt the patient back to
balance the patient on the FTS wheels.
The patient is them moved to the desired location and tilted back forward to a seated position before
transferring to another seat or standing as desired.
Floor Mount Assist Procedure:
This procedure will help the provider assist a patient that has fallen and is unable to independently scoot
backwards onto the FTS mounting ramp seat.
Ensure the FTS
’s
seat is in the fully downward position, and swing the appropriate rise-assist handle
toward the rear by lifting the handle upward out of its locked position and swinging the rise-assist
handle to the rear of the FTS out of the way.
The patient is helped to lie on the floor in a prone position with their legs as far forward as possible, (to
form an “L”
shape).
The FTS is placed with the rear edge of the seat, as close to the
fallen person’s
buttocks as possible.
