Special Procedures:
Lifting from a seated position
- Stand in front of a chair facing the patient.
- Lean patient forward so your body supports their weight.
- Hold sling by top. Allow remainder of sling material to drop behind patient to the seat of the
chair.
- To position the sling material under the patient's buttocks;
* Lean patient to one side.
* Reach underneath the patient's raised buttocks.
* Firmly grasp sling material and pull toward patient's leg.
* Repeat for other leg by switching the patient to lean in opposite direction.
* Once sling is properly positioned, roll lift into position and attach chains or straps.
Lifting from floor
- Repeat as for patient lying in bed.
- Lower lift boom to lowest position to attach chains/straps to sling.
- Follow lifting instruction.
Safety Issues:
Before use
- Make sure patient's head is clear of hanger at all times.
- Only raise boom high enough for patient in sling to clear the "transfer from" surface.
- Make sure all parts of lift are properly secured.
- Adjust chains or straps and sling prior to allowing patient to be lifted.
- Spread legs of lift base to ensure maximum stability.
When raising patient weight
- Ensure that release is locked into "lift" position.
- Check for pinch points on patient where the sling makes weight-bearing contact. Do this
before rolling the lift away from the "transfer from" surface.
- When moving lift (occupied) push slowly and smoothly towards "transfer to" surface.
