How to Use the Maxi Sky
600
Ceiling lift
To lift a Patient from the floor
The patient can be lifted from a completely reclined
position on the floor, but for his/her comfort, a pillow
can be placed under his/her head first.
When lifting a patient from the floor it is essential to
ensure the patient is situated directly underneath the
Maxi Sky
600
cassette, to avoid excessive swinging or
dragging as the weight of the patient becomes
suspended.
Place the sling around the patient as in section “Lifting
from a Bed” (see Fig. 13).
Attach the shoulder strap clips first, then with the open
part of the sling support frame pointing downwards
towards the shoulders, connect the leg strap clips.
Adjustment of the spreader bar height may have to
be made before connection is possible.
When lifting from the floor, some operators prefer to
connect the leg strap clips first. (This in particular
applies to patients with large thighs).
To use this method, raise the hip and knee into
maximum flexion and hook up the leg strap clips.
Tilt the frame towards the shoulders for attaching the
shoulder strap clips.
When all the connectors are securely attached, raise
the patient from the floor in a semi-recumbent
position.
The patient may then be positioned in a chair, or placed
on a bed. patients with extensor spasm may be lifted by
the Maxi Sky
600
, but special attention should be paid to
supporting the patient's legs during the early part of the
lift.
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 Fig. 13).
Note: To avoid the patient swinging
excessively during lifting, the lift strap
should be as vertical as possible,
immediately prior to the lift.
