6.
Once the final stair-step has been traversed, the emergency responder using the upper handles
keeps the HFL tilted slightly backward while the emergency responder using the lower handles
removes them from the HFL.
7.
When the patient has been successfully transported up the stairs, the
responder behind the patient tilts the HFL forward into its normal upright
position and raises the HFL’s to its full height.
The responders ensure the
patient’s feet are properly positioned for standing,
unbuckle the chest and
waist belts and assist the patient as they stand from the lift or are
transferred to a waiting gurney.

“IndeeChuck” Patient Maneuvering Tool
Accessory:
“IndeeChuck” Patient Maneuvering Tool
Procedure:
This procedure utilizes the
optional “IndeeChuck” Patient Maneuvering Tool to retrieve a
patient from an
inaccessible area and move them to an accessible area, where they can easily be lifted using the HFL.
Typically, only two emergency responders are required when using this procedure.
NOTE: It is
recommended that you view theHFL-600-E training video as you learn this procedure.
1.
Position the HFL in an easily accessible location, remove the IndeeChuck from its stored location
on the HFL and proceed to the location of the patient.
2.
Unfold and position the IndeeChuck to one side of the patient, then deploy the maneuvering strap
loops (two away from you and two towards you).
3.
Assist the patient as they lean away from the IndeeChuck then position it underneath the patient.
4.
Have the patient lean to the other side, fully deploy the IndeeChuck, and then assist the patient to
a seated position directly in the center of the IndeeChuck.
5.
With one emergency responder behind the patient and the other in front, pick up the
maneuvering straps and slide the patient to the waiting HFL.
NOTE: Remain in a fully standing
position while sliding the patient, (to avoid any bending or back strain).
