Intended Use
Ergolift-2 is a mobile passive lift with a Safe
Working Load (SWL) of 160 kg (350 lb), for
indoor use only. It is intended to be operated
on horizontal surfaces for lifting and
transferring in hospitals, nursing homes or
other health care facilities where the patient:
•
Sits in a wheelchair;
•
Has no capacity to support him/herself;
•
Cannot stand unsupported and is not able
to bear weight, not even partially;
•
Is dependant on the caregiver in most
situations;
or where the patient:
•
Is passive;
• Might be almost or is completely
bedridden;
• Is often stiff or has contracted joints;
• Is totally dependent on the caregiver.
The Ergolift 2 is only for transferring patients.
It is to be used for patients within the
specified weight limit indicated on the lift and
the specified environmental conditions
described in this manual.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to use the
lift and mount the charger in humid, salty,
oxidizing and/or chlorinated conditions. In
such cases, a proactive regiment of frequent
inspections and maintenance should be
carried out.
The Ergolift 2 must always be handled by a
trained caregiver, who must attend the patient
during lift application and operation, and in
accordance with the instructions outlined in
these
Instructions for Use . The Ergolift 2 is
intended to be used with loop slings
(compatible with two-hook spreader bars).
Use only slings that are designed for the
Ergolift 2.
WARNING: Before using the Ergolift 2, a
clinical assessment of the patient’s
suitability for transfer must be carried out by
a qualified health professional considering
that, among other things, the transfer may
induce substantial pressure on the patient’s
body.
Any references to “the patient” in this
document apply equally to a resident at home
or in a long term care facility and refer to the
person being lifted or transferred.
References to left or right in these instructions
are as viewed from the caregiver’s pushing
position, standing at the rear of the Ergolift 2,
facing forward.
