IMPORTANT INFORMATION
General
The Brewer LiftMate Patient Lift is designed to safely assist patients onto and off of exam tables, beds and other
medical devices without the need for manual lifting. The LiftMate is to
be operated by qualified medical professionals trained in its use. Read and understand all operating instructions,
safety information, and maintenance requirements contained in this manual prior to operating the LiftMate.
Become familiar with all of the LiftMate’s functions before using it with a patient.
The Brewer LiftMate Patient Lift is primarily used in examination rooms for safely lifting patients with mobility
issues onto exam tables. The LiftMate is easily operated with a hand
pendant. The platform height can be raised and lowered from 1” to 10”.
The LiftMate is easily moved from room to room on casters. The casters are extended by the operator when
moving the LiftMate is required. Casters are extended by pressing and holding the “Push And Hold To Move”
button. Once the LiftMate is in the desired position, releasing the “Push And Hold To Move” button will cause the
casters to retract. When the casters retract the LiftMate will be lowered, and rest on four rubber feet for stability.
NEVER ALLOW THE PATIENT
ONTO THE LIFTMAT E WITH THE CASTERS EXTENDED.
Once the casters have retracted and the LiftMate is resting on all four feet, the patient may then step onto the
platform. The patient then turns around so his/her back is toward the table. Once the patient is secure, the operator
can then raise the patient to a height where he/she can be seated. The operator can then either extend the casters to
roll the LiftMate away from the table, or LiftMate may be left in place depending on the type of exam and
physician’s preference.
When the examination is complete the LiftMate can be rolled back into position. Once the casters have retracted
and the LiftMate is resting on all four feet, the platform can be raised
to a height that is comfortable for the patient to step onto the LiftMate platform. NEVER ALLOW THE
PATIENT ONTO THE LIFTMAT E WITH THE CASTERS EXTENDED. Once the patient is on the LiftMate
the platform can then be fully lowered allowing the patient to easily step back onto the
floor.
To provide untethered mobility the LiftMate can be operated via battery power. However it is recommended that
the LiftMate be plugged into a 120VAC wall receptacle whenever
possible to maintain optimal battery power and life. Note: only plug the LiftMate into a receptacle capable of
providing a minimum of 4 amps of current. Some pieces of medical
equipment having auxiliary receptacles are not capable of providing enough power and will result in blown fuses.
See the “Battery” section of this manual for more information on
getting the most out of your LiftMate battery.
Orientation
Left and right orientation on the LiftMate are designated by how the patient approaches the unit to step onto the
platform. Front is the entry area, and back is the area that is positioned against the exam table. See Figure 2.
