Basics in transferring an individual
Caution: Always make sure that the sling is correctly fitted and adjusted on each side of the
individual so that maximum comfort and safety are achieved prior to lifting.
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling are securely
placed on the hooks of the carry bar.
Step 4)
Attach the straps of the sling to the hooks of the carry bar. The straps on each side of the sling are
generally attached to the corresponding side of the carry bar. Be sure to double check to ensure that the straps
are properly attached to the carry bar, and that the individual being lifted is properly positioned in the sling
prior to lifting.
Caution: The following steps are intended to generally illustrate the procedure involved in the lifting
and transferring of an individual from one location to another using the mobile hoist.
The manual for the sling that was purchased with the hoist should be reviewed in detail prior to at-
tempting these steps, as the sling illustrated here may not be the same as the one that was purchased
.
Contact your local authorised Prism Medical UK Representatives if you have any questions or con-
cerns.
Step 2)
Prepare the individual being transferred with the appropriate sling. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the sling that was purchased on how to properly outfit an individual with a sling.
Step 1)
Unplug the hoist from its charging station or current location and move close to the individual that is to
be transferred. Use the procedures for up and down and transferring as described in the sections titled, “
Start
”,
“
Forward Movement
” and “
Turning
”.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the hoist from one location to another.
Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling,
or damage to the hoist.
Caution: Always check to ensure that the hoist is correctly positioned directly above the
person to be lifted.
Step 3)
Once the individual has been outfitted with the sling, move the hoist so that it is positioned
directly
over
the individual and utilise leg opening function if required. Lower the carry bar to a height so that the
straps of the sling can be easily attached to the carry bar.
Caution: Check to ensure that the carry bar has no cuts, dents or sharp edges that may
come in contact with the straps of the sling and cause damage to them. Report any concerns to
your local authorised representative.
