Introduction
The Bathmaster Sonaris2 is a patient bathing device intended to assist a bather into and out of the bath. Designed to make the pleasure of
taking a bath safer and easier, for both user and caregiver, the Bathmaster Sonaris2 is a fully battery-powered, self-contained bath seat, which
requires no plumbing or electrical installation and is suitable for use in either domestic or institutional situations.
The bath lift folds compactly, and separates into two parts, enabling it to be carried, transported and stored easily.
The Bathmaster Sonaris2 is easily positioned in any standard bath (Note: There are a few extremely narrow or contoured designs of
bath in which a powered bath seat is not suitable – full details of compatible bath sizes can be found in the Technical Specifications
section of these instructions). The frame stands on four suction feet that may be rotated to suit the curved floor of the bath. Integral
“pull- up” tabs on the suction feet, plus a rear release system, enable the Bathmaster Sonaris2 to be easily removed from the bath.
Replacement components and accessories are available.
In this instruction manual you will find information and instructions on the safe and correct use of your bath lift. Keep all documents in a safe
place.

Do the following
Check the contents to see that all components are included. In the
rare event that product or components have been damaged, contact
Patterson Medical immediately.
• Before using the Bathmaster Sonaris2 for the first time, read
these instructions and familiarize yourself with the product and
the lifting techniques. Become familiar with the operation of
the unit before using it to lower or raise a person.
• Retain these instructions for future reference and keep them where
people using the bath lift can have access to them.
• Ensure the suitability of the unit to lift the individual is assessed.
Judging the suitability of any patient lifting device is the
responsibility of the healthcare professional or the caregiver. Some
circumstances that must be considered include the following:
size and weight of the individual; his or her upper body strength,
balance, coordination, cognition and hip flexibility; their potential to
spasm.
• Only use the bath lift in baths which comply with the specifications
outlined in the Technical Specifications section of these instructions.
• Inspect the unit before each use to be sure it is free from damage
and excessive wear. Biannual inspections by trained technicians
are strongly recommended (see Maintaining the Unit).
• Ensure both the bath surface and suction feet are clean, dry and
free from soap and bath oil residue before fitting the Bathmaster
Sonaris2 into the bath.
• If using bath oils or bath salts, do not use a strong solution. A high
concentration may impair the slide function of the lifting scissors.
• While using the bath lift, the user should remain calmly seated.
Excessive movement should be avoided.
• Use the Bathmaster Sonaris2 only with accessories, hand
controllers and rechargers that are supplied by Patterson
Medical.
• When the Bathmaster Sonaris2 is being used by a disabled person
unaided, please ensure that an alarm system or telephone is
available that could be used in the event of difficulty or emergency.
