6)
Place the wired remote on the FTS’s upper handle then have the
patient grasp the far
handle of the wheelchair and assi
st them if needed as they scoot themselves from the FTS’s
seat to a fully seated position on the wheelchair.
7)
Once the recovered person is safely in the wheelchair, disengage the wheelchair’s
brakes and move them away from the FTS.
Transferring to the FTS is the reverse of this procedure.
Before transferring anyone from the FTS to a wheel chair, always ensure the
brakes on the wheelchair are fully engaged to avoid an accident that could lead to death or serious
injury.
If you remove the rise assist handle, temporarily place the handle in a safe
location (where they will not interfere with the transfer).
Before returning the FTS to its stored location, d
on’t forget to
either swing the rise assist handle back
into position or
–
if you removed the handle -- replace it on the appropriate side and secure it back in
place with the locking pin.
Securement Belt Information:
The anchor points and belt assemblies are for use when lifting an individual who is non-ambulatory,
has minimal upper and lower body strength, or has a condition that causes significant mobility
challenges, (e.g., a paraplegic person with no ability to move their legs, a person with cerebral palsy
who may need additional help to sit upright on the FTS when being lifted, or anyone with
neuromuscular conditions that may limit their lower body strength or their ability to stay on the seat
unassisted). The belt assemblies can also be used simply as desired for additional safety when lifting
an individual.
All procedures that do not involve the use of the waist and chest belt accessories are covered
in detail earlier in this Users’ Manual and are fully applica
ble to the FTS-600 units.
