e the patient’s
hand and gently tilt the patient up to a seated position. If available or necessary, install a gait belt
around fallen persons upper chest area and gently tilt them up to a seated position on the center of
the FTS
’s seat.
If needed, assist the patient to shimmy to the center of the seat, as far back on the seat
as possible, (with their back resting on the FTS
’s vertical
column).
Once the patient is fully seated in the center and to the rear of the FTS
’s seat, replace the rise

handle by swinging it back into its locked position on the FTS. If the patient seems to be unstable
sitting on the FTS, secure them with the security belts. Have the fallen person place their hands on the
rise assist handles, assisting them if necessary, and let them know you are about to raise the seat.

Wheelchair Transfer:
Wheelchair seats are between 17’ and 19” from the floor. Wheelchair Transfers to or
from the FTS are performed at a height of 19 -21 inches above the floor. When
transferring to the FTS, the FTS seat platform is positioned two inches below the
height of the wheelchair seat. When transferring from the FTS to a wheelchair, the
seat is placed two inches above the wheelchair. The two inches allows a gravity
assisted transfer in either direction. Most wheelchairs will roll right up to the FTS
’s
seat on the most convenient side.
1)
Determine which side is preferred for the transfer.
2)
and place the wheelchair as close as possible to the FTS
’s
seat.
3)
Lift the rise-assist handle on the appropriate side and swing it rearward out of the way.
4)
Engage the brakes on the wheelchair.
5)
U
sing the wired remote, position the FTS’s seat to be approximately one to two inches
higher than the wheelchair’s seat.
