standing position, the seat locks are disengaged to allow the seat platform to rotate forward to shift the
weight from the buttocks to the legs, allowing them to stand up.
Once up from the floor, the fallen person can stop at chair height to take a breath and/or rest comfortably
or simply get up and walk away or be directly transferred to a wheelchair, bed, toilet or recliner, all
without the risk of injuries related to the fall recovery
Standing Operation
The FTS provides patients a method to be lifted while standing on a floor to a safe height 12-14 inches
from the floor. This application can assist the user onto an exam table or an imaging bed or table.
The FTS is positioned next to the desired destination (e.g., imaging bed). The rise-assist handle is swung
out of the
patient’s
way allowing the patient to mount the FTS standing without having to step up more
than two inches. The rise assist handle is swung forward to its locked position. The patient typically faces
away from the destination and holds on to the rise-assist handles or the transport handles in preparation
for being lifted. The patient is then lifted to the level required for the patient to place their buttocks on to
the imaging bed and then the patient lies back and swings around to a position laying on the imaging
bed/table.
When ready, the patient sits up placing their feet back onto the FTS platform, stands up and the FTS is
then lowered to the ground for the patient to dismount.
Patient Transfers
The FTS has been designed to be used as a patient transport device for short distance patience
placement. Many care situations require a patient to be transferred from a bed to a wheelchair and
then to a commode and back to the wheelchair and back to the bed. This process requires a transfer
from the bed, chair or other palace the patient is located to the wheelchair and then a transfer back to
the bed. With the FTS, the provider can transfer the patient directly to the FTS, transport the patient
to the destination (i.e. Commode) transfer to the destination. And reverse the process to return the
patient to the desired destination. This transport ability eliminates two transfer procedures in the
simple process of getting a patient to the commode and back to the bed.
This product contains moving parts where hands or feet could be injured if they are
in an inappropriate location. Users and caregivers must be aware of everyone’s body parts that could be
trapped between the seat platform and the floor or between the seat platform and any obstruction located
above the seat platform level, that when contacted, could cause Minor or Serious Injury.
