LOCOMOTOR Rotastand...Compact
LOCO-600 MANUAL
3.2 User instructions for use
3.2.1 NB ALL PATIENT HANDLING TASKS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT AFTER A FULL RISK
ASSESSMENT OF THE PATIENT AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE TASK IS TO BE
CARRIED OUT.
3.2.2 The
Rotastand...Compact
has been designed to allow staff to transfer a patient/client from one
seated position to another. Before a transfer can take place staff should satisfy themselves through an
appropriate risk assessment that the patient/client is able to bear weight independently
3.2.3 Before every use of the
Rotastand...Compact
ensure that both the handle and shin pad are
secure and that the equipment is in no way damaged.
3.2.4 Before using your
Rotastand...Compact
adjust the height of the handlebar and the shin pad to suit
the patient/client as described in 3.1 above.
3.2.5 Ensure that the SOLO stabilising bar is fully retracted.
3.2.6 The
Rotastand...Compact
can now be manoeuvred on its rear wheels and brought to a position in
front of the patient/client
3.2.7 Assist the patient/client to the front of their chair, ready to stand and place the patient/client’s feet
on the non slip foot plate and gently wheel the
Rotastand...Compact
up to the patient/client on its central
wheels. The
Rotastand...Compact
should end up with the patient/client’s feet on the non slip foot plate
and shins firmly against the shin pad.
3.2.8 If the
Rotastand...Compact
is to be operated in SOLO mode with only one carer then the SOLO
stabilising bar must now be fully extended
3.2.9 Encourage the patient/client, using the handlebar, to pull themselves into a standing position. The
nurse/carer should position themselves(s) at the side of the patient/client with one hand on the handlebar
bar ready to assist if required. Once the patient/client is in a standing position, ensure SOLO stabilising
bar is fully retracted then gently rotate the
Rotastand...Compact
to the position required. Ensure the
SOLO stabilising bar is fully extended before encouraging the patient/client to sit, reversing the above
procedure.
3.2.10 If the
Rotastand...Compact
is to be operated by 2 carers then extending the SOLO stabilising
bar is optional.
3.2.11 The
Rotastand…Compact
can also be used in the same way as a conventional
Rotastand
. In
this way a carer would counterbalance the
Rotastand…Compact
from the front by holding the handle
bar, and placing a foot on the brake as the patient/client brings themselves to a standing position. The
SOLO stabilising bar is thus not needed to perform this transfer
