1.3 Intended use
Mobile patient lifts are indoor transfer devices, designed
to be used in most of the common lifting situations in
hospitals, nursing facilities and domestic areas, for example:
•
Between the bed and a wheelchair
•
To and from the toilet
•
Lowering and raising patients to/from the floor
The mobile patient lift can be used to transfer and position
completely or partially immobile patients, who cannot be
transferred with other types of lifts or transfer aids. All
position changes are possible without assistance of the
patient. The mobile patient lift is only intended to lift
patients up to the maximum weight limit stated in technical
data. There are no known contraindications for this product.
Selecting the appropriate slings and accessories for each
individual is important to assure safety when using a patient
lift. See Invacare’s sling and accessory user manuals for
further information on those devices.
