Introduction:
IndeeLift’s p
atented line of Human Floor Lifts (HFLs) are a class of human lifts unlike any other. This family
of products has been designed to lift individuals who are on the floor or ground and are unable to get up
without assistance. The rugged and reliable IndeeLift HFLs are purpose-built appliances, built in the USA
and are available in home, professional/commercial and emergency medical services (EMS) models.
HFLs for EMS are industrial grade tools designed for emergency responders. These tools were developed
to safely lift and transport patients. They lift a patient from the floor, seated or on a backboard, without
causing injury to either the emergency services personnel or the patient. As a fall recovery appliance, the
HFLs are extremely maneuverable. The small footprint allows fall recovery to occur in much smaller
spaces than other mechanical lift devices. These tools eliminate manual lifting of patients from the floor
on medical-emergency and lift-assist calls. Additionally, the HFLs for EMS are designed to transport the
patient from the incident site to the gurney when required.
Overview:
This manual covers both the HFL-500/600-E for emergency medical services. The HFL-500-E is the standard
EMS model and is engineered to lift a person of up to 500 lbs. or 227 kg from the floor. The HFL-600-E is
the bariatric model and is engineered to lift a person of up to 600 lbs. or 272 kg from the floor
.
Both models
have the same basic features and functions, (any differences are noted in this manual).
The operating mechanism is a linear actuator powered by a 24V DC rechargeable battery pack which is
charged from any standard AC wall outlet using the included battery charger. The device is designed in a
portable “
roll-
around” configuration
utilizing six inch all-terrain wheels and is operated using a sealed and
simple up/down rocker switch.
IndeeLift’s
HFL-500/600-E are designed for EMS personnel, (including firefighters, paramedics, public
servants and security personnel). These rugged, state-of-the-art products were developed specifically to
eliminate lift-related injuries to first responders and their fallen patients. Once up from the floor, the
patient can take a deep breath and rest comfortably until they are ready to stand up and walk away, or
they can easily be transported and transferred to a gurney. Alternately, the patient can be lifted on a
backboard then transferred directly to a gurney, without
any
bending, stooping over, or manual lifting by
the provider.
HFL-500/600-Es also double as a dolly for equipment transport, and can be used to transport the patient
to a waiting gurney. The optional Stair Handle Set quickly assembles and deploys when needed, allowing
emergency responders the additional flexibility of maneuvering patients already secured to the HFL up
and down stairs or through uneven terrain or obstructions. The optional IndeeChuck Patient
Maneuvering Tool makes it easy to recover a patient from even the tightest of spaces, where they can
safely be moved to a more open space, positioned on the IndeeLift, and raised from the floor.
Additionally, the optional Stair Tread Accessory for the HFL-500-E makes it easy to transport patients
down stairs while secured to the lift.
Simply put, IndeeLift is revolutionizing emergency medical-assist calls involving patient lifts by doing the
heavy lifting
…
without risk of injury to the first responders or their patients!
