Ceiling lift
To lift a Patient from a chair
The lifting techniques described here, and represented in
Fig. 12 can be used for seated patients regardless of
where they may be seated (e.g. on the edge of a bed, in a
chair, wheel-chair or similar).
Step 1 - Place the sling around the patient so that the
base of his/her spine is covered, and the head
support area of the sling is behind the head.
Pull each leg strap under the thigh so that it
emerges on the inside of the thigh.
Step 2 - Before approaching the patient with the

, ensure that:
• the spreader bar is in “sitting position” (please
refer to “Operating the DPS” section of this man-
ual).
• the wide part of the spreader bar is at, or just
below shoulder level.Position the spreader bar
close enough to be able to connect the shoulder
strap clips of the sling to the frame.
• Connect these first, then tilt the frame and attach
the leg sections.
Step 3 - Ensure that all four strap clips are securely
connected, then raise the patient using the
handset.
The head support area of the sling should now
come into use. This is the most comfortable
position for the patient transfer, as it reduces
pressure on the patient’s thighs. The angle of
recline can be increased for the comfort of more

WARNING: Always check that the sling
attachment clips are correctly attached and
remain in tension as the weight of the patient
is gradually taken up (see top of Fig. 12).
NOTE: If necessary, lower the spreader bar a
little further, being careful not to lower it onto
the patient.
WARNING: Take care not to push down too
quickly, as this may jerk the patient's head
forward.
direction of travel, and keep at a normal chair
height This affords the patient a measure of
confidence and dignity. The patient should not
be lifted above the caregiver’s eye-level; this
can lessen the impression of height that may
confuse the patient. Support the patient to stop
excessive swinging and to give a feeling of
added security.
Step 5 - Proceed with the patient transfer to a chair, or
place the patient onto a bed, by moving and then
lowering the patient into the desired position.
WARNING: Ensure any obstructions are
removed from the intended route of travel.
WARNING: Do not attempt to pull the cassette
along the track using the handset cable. This
will damage the cable and eventually ruin the
function of the handset.
