ELK
Operating
•
Having positioned the ELK under the patient
and connected it to the 4-Way Hand Control
and Airflo 24 compressor, if possible, position
a sturdy chair next to the patient for them to
hold so as to provide additional stability.
•
Kneeling beside the patient, place them in a
seated position on the ELK (fig.10). When in
the seated position, the patient should place
their arm on the chair seat to provide further
stability. If necessary, place a transfer belt
(with looped handles) around the patient’s
chest and adjust to fit). Use the handles on
this belt to provide additional support and
stability while elevating.
•
Explain to the patient what to expect when
the ELK elevates.
•
Switch the Airflo 24 to ‘On’. Press the number
1 button on the 4-Way Hand Control (fig.11).
Steady the patient as the ELK lifts. The
compressor will automatically stop as the
section becomes fully inflated.
•
Continue to operate buttons 2, 3 and 4,
in sequence, in exactly the same manner.
Support the patient at all times. Always
inflate the ELK sections from the BOTTOM
UP BEGINNING WITH THE NO. 1 BUTTON
.
•
When all four sections are inflated, the
patient may be helped to stand or to transfer
(fig. 12).
• T
o deflate the ELK, first disconnect the air
hose from the Airflo 24 and then press each
of the buttons on the hand control in turn to
reduce the pressure in each section. Once
pressure has been reduced, disconnect each
of the air hoses from the ELK.
•
After use, roll the ELK up with the 4-Way
Hand Control and re-secure the flap around
the ends of the stability bar (see fig. 1).
WARNING: While in use, never allow a section to become partially deflated while any sections
above it are inflated. Sections must always be fully inflated from the bottom up, in sequence, in
order to maintain stability.
