Operating
• NOTE:
Alternative methods of transfer can be
used with the Swift Transfer Slide. Please refer
to hopsital guidelines and training materials for
further details. An individual risk assessment is
always required before operation.
• Remove the caps from the valves before inflating
the Swift (fig.8). Check that all straps are free so
they don’t obstruct the transfer.
• To inflate the Swift once the patient is in position,
turn on the Airflo Duo, connect the hose to the
valve on the Swift and ensure a good connection.
Once connected, the hose does not need to be
held in place during use. Always leave the hose
connected for the duration of the transfer to
ensure constant air flow.
• WARNING:
Ensure the Swift is fully inflated
before beginning the transfer.
• Once the Swift is fully inflated, the safety straps
can be tightened around patient.
• The Swift can be operated with a minimum of 2
carers, one on each side of the patient. (fig.9)
• Use of a patient transfer board should be
considered based on an individual risk
assessment.
• To perform the slide, the Swift should be slowly
pushed across the surfaces in a controlled
manner until the patient is halfway across, and
then pulled slowly the remainder of the distance
by the receiving carer(s). The receiving carer
should stand against the bed so that the Swift
cannot travel too far across and overhang the
bed.
• Once the transfer has been performed, always
ensure that the Swift is aligned centrally over the
receiving surface and is not overhanging.
• In situations where the bed/surfaces are wide
and the carers would have to lean over to
transfer the patient, additional carers can assist
from the head and foot end of the bed.
