PURPOSE AND SAFETY
The tilting spreader bar is an add-on for the Luna IPx4 2 channel model. The tilting spreader bar
works as a dynamic positioning system (DPS) and will be referred to as
DPS
in this user guide.
The DPS is powered, meaning that it is operated by the Luna hand control. This allows for
powered patient positioning, resulting in less strain on the caregiver.
The DPS is rated for 275 kg.
1.1
Purpose
The purpose of the DPS is to ease the transition of a suspended person from (a) sitting position
to (b) lying down position. It also allows the caregiver to reposition the angle of the suspended
patient while in the sling to facilitate a more comfortable and optimal user position.
The DPS is suitable for all types of users, especially users having difficulty in reaching a 90-
degree sitting position, for example due to their medical condition.
After thorough cleaning the DPS can be used by multiple users (See 4.1).
NOTE:
Do not use DPS for purposes other than originally intended.
1.2
Safety instructions
Important - Warning!
Read user manual and safety instructions before using the product.
•
NEVER use the DPS if there are any indications of wear or suspicion of other defects on
the track systems, the Luna, accessories and the DPS itself. In such cases the DPS must be
taken out of service immediately and you must contact your dealer or Winncare Nordic.
•
Take the necessary steps to ensure that neither caregiver nor patient can be injured
when carrying out lifts, transfers and tilts. Always check surroundings and move obstacles
out of the way.
•
Always ensure that the sling is attached correctly, before lifting a patient.
NOTE:
Read the user guide for Luna IPx4 before using the DPS.
1.3
