Operating
Note:
Always ensure all straps on the Rhino
are not caught under any objects before
performing the lift.
WARNING:
If a slide sheet has been used to
transfer the patient onto the Rhino it must
be removed from under the patient before
commencing a lift.
•
Switch the Airflo Duo to ‘On’. Connect the hose
to the valve on the bottom section numbered 1
on the Rhino Lifting Cushion to inflate. (fig.7)
•
Push the hose onto valve 1 and ensure fully
connected. Once connected, the hose does not
require someone holding it during inflation.
•
Once the first section is fully inflated, this will
be indicated by the battery indicator lights
flashing green (fig.8) on the Airflo Duo display,
as well as an audible change in tone.
•
Then disconnect the hose from valve 1 and
connect to valve 2 to inflate the second section
(fig.9)
•
Continue to connect the hose to valves 3 and
4
in sequence
until inflation is complete and
then disconnect the hose from the Rhino
(fig.10)
WARNING
: In order to maintain stability, sections
must always be
fully
inflated from the bottom up,
in sequence. Never deflate the sections out of
order whilst a patient is on the Rhino.
•
The patient is now in a position to transfer
from the Rhino.
•
If performing a transfer to a bed from the
Rhino using the Swift Transfer Slide, adjust the
bed to a slightly lower height than the Rhino
and always check that the brakes are applied to
the bed or receiving surface before performing
the transfer.
