c) Lifting the Patient
•
Adjust the BOOM height using the BOOM LIFT - UP/DOWN buttons on the
HANDSET to position the LIFTING BAR and attach the sling straps onto the
hooks of the LIFTING BAR
•
Position yourself to guide the patient during the lift and
transfer. This is done best by assuming a position inside
the open and extended legs of the lift and adjacent to the
bed and receiver.
•
Raise the patient from the departure surface by pressing
the BOOM LIFT - UP button. Lift the patient high
enough so the transfer to the receiver can be made with
no restrictions.
•
The patient will feel more secure if the caregiver is holding onto the sling straps
as the individual is lifted.
Safety Precautions:
1) Insure that LIFTING BAR remains clear of patient while lowering and
attaching sling.
2) Insure that patient is free of bed linens and limbs are free of bed frame prior
to lifting.
3) Insure that all sling straps are evenly (same color loop on right and left side)
and fully engaged on LIFTING BAR.
4) Insure that LIFTEM is clear and remains clear of any catheters or cables
connected to the patient.
5) Do not attempt to lift patient unless LIFTEM LEGS are fully spread and
extended.
6) Do not attempt to close or retract LIFTEM LEGS with patient suspended.
7) Never move the LIFTEM with patient suspended from BOOM.
8) Insure that the LIFTING BAR is secured to the proper LIFTING POINT on
the BOOM.
