Basics in Transferring a Patient
Lifting Sling:
A lifting sling with four to six straps designed for mounting on hooks
should be used with the Amico Portable 450 lift. Place the straps on the
hooks and make sure the loops are not in the latch so the straps do not
unintentionally fall off.
Amico Mobility shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to
incorrect use of the lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention
on the part of the caregiver or patient.
Working with the Amico GoLift Portable:
The Amico GoLift Portable moves freely in the track system and does
not have any special requirements for space or power in connection
with moving. Attention can be fully focused on the user’s functional level and the caregivers technique.
To use the GoLift Portable correctly, the patient should only be lifted to the extent that she/he is clear of the surface
and should be moved at this height.
Attaching the Lifting Sling:
Place the straps from the lifting sling on the hooks of the GoLift Portable Start with the uppermost set of straps (from
the back) and then take the lowest set of straps (from the legs).
!
Be careful when attaching the lifting sling on the hooks. Check that the straps have been completely through
the opening and into place in the Carry Bar hooks. When pressing the up button to lift the patient, check
again that all straps remain correctly placed.
Lifting to and from a seated position:
• When lifting a patient from e.g. a wheelchair, move the Amico
GoLift Portable towards the patient to be lifted.
• The lifting hooks should be at the same height as the patient’s
chest and should not be moved further in over the user to
approximately mid-though position.
• Place the lifting hooks parallel to the patient’s shoulders.
• Place the lifting sling behind the user’s back between the back of
the chair and the user’s back.
• The center band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine.
Lead the leg straps along the outer sides of the patient’s shins and
beneath the thighs between the hollow of the knees and the hip
joints. Cross the leg straps in front of the user.
• All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling
can now be mounted on lifting the hooks.
