The Wykeham Solo is designed to aid bathing and showering. In conjunction
with any of the Daily Care cradles the base allows easy room to room
transportation.
Before operation ensure:
All 4 castor wheels are firmly attached to the base with no damage
The mesh is clean, undamaged and correctly attached to the frame via
Velcro and zips.
Operation
When hoisting a person onto or off the Wykeham unit ensure all 4 brakes
are applied to the castor wheels before hand. If the Wykeham unit is
stationary Daily Care advise to apply the brakes to the castor wheels.
The Wykeham unit is made from Stainless Steel and is powder coated, this
allows the product to be placed directly into a shower, wet room and the
cradle into a bath. With the design of the Wykeham cradle being relatively
flat, the cradle can be placed directly into a bath without the need for any
accessories as the two support bars act at the stand.
When placing the cradle into a bath firstly check the castor wheel brakes
are applied. The Red Triangles can then be rotated so the cradle can be
removed from the base. Lift up the cradle and carefully place it into a bath.
Once the cradle is correctly and securely placed in the bath, with the use of
a hoist and sling the user can be carefully lowered onto the cradle.
Note: do not attempt to hoist or attach a hoist or hoist straps directly to the
Wykeham unit / cradle.
Mesh
The Wykeham Cradle can be detached from the Base via the two rotating
Red Triangles, these rotate allowing the cradle to be lifted off the Base.
It is advised that the cradle mesh is not changed when there is someone on
the cradle. The simplest way of changing the mesh is to detach the cradle
from the Base, spin it upside down and place it against a sturdy surface.
This gives access to underneath the cradle where the mesh Velcro and zips
can be accessed. These Velcro and zips can be undone for washing of the
mesh, when washing please follow the instructions on the mesh.
