INTENDED USE
The University Graduate 150, Scholar 175 and Master 200 are for patient lifting. DO NOT use
them, or allow them to be used, for any other purpose.
All patients lifted with these hoists should be assessed for suitability by trained, professional staff
and be attended by a carer during use.
The University Graduate 150, Scholar 175 and Master 200 are used in conjunction with a range of
slings, sized to suit patients of varying builds.
The hoist can be used for lifting from the floor, wheelchair, chairs, bed and toilet.
Whilst these hoists are capable of transporting patients from room to room, it is recommended
other transportation methods are used in order to minimize the patient’s time in the sling.
We do not supply or fit any Weigh Scales on our hoist.
The Master 200 should not be moved with the patient in the highest position.
Only use the hoist on a flat surface and never attempt a lift on a slope.
