The following safety instructions should also be noted:
• Watch the patient the whole time while lifting or transferring is under way.
• When transferring a patient, the locking brakes must not be applied - risk of
tipping!
• Ensure that neither the user‘s nor the patient‘s limbs will be squashed or
crushed.
• Take particular care around strong electromagnetic sources such as MRI
equipment. Electrical devices can affect one another through their electro-
magnetic emissions. We recommend maintaining a safe distance of at least 1
metre, especially around sensitive devices (e.g. cardiac pacemakers).
• In general, legal regulations regarding medical products and their operation
must be observed.
• Do not use the hoist if:
- the hoist is defective.
- the patient is heavier than the load capacity of the hoist or harness.
- the accessories were not supplied by novacare
®
gmbh or authorised by novacare
®
gmbh.
- the accessories are no longer safe or have not been tested.
- you are unsure of how to use the hoist.
- the patient is suffering from cramp and could fall out.
- the hoist is standing on a sloping surface and might roll away.
- there are obstacles in the way.
• Depending on the mobility of the patient, select a lifting harness of the correct
size - there is a risk of the patient slipping out of the harness if it is too large, while
too small a harness can cause pressure points and there is a risk of limbs and the
skin being crushed.
• Before first using the battery, it must be charged for a full 24 hours to ensure
correct function and a long service life.
• Settings may be adjusted only by trained care specialists or trained individuals.
