Step When the patient is in the standing position, extend the two seat support tubes out fully from their
storage position (see Fig. 5).
NoTE: If the seat support tubes cannot be fully extended, no transfer must take place as the seat
cannot be safely fitted.
Step
Remove the seat from its storage position and place firmly on top of the seat support tubes (see Fig. 5)
with grooves facing downwards, ensuring that the carry handle slot is on the outside edge.
NoTE: The seat support tubes must be fully extended.
Step Insert the back support into the locating holes in the Transfer position. Make sure the back support is
fully inserted into the locating holes (no bare metal should be showing), then ask the patient to sit
down on the seat (see Fig. 6).
NoTE: The back support will prevent the patient from falling backwards during transfer.
Step 7 Prior to commencing transfer, ensure the patient is holding onto either the back support or front
grab rail. Unlock the rear castors and transfer the patient to the desired location (i.e. chair/toilet/bed
or shower). Carefully manoeuvre the Transaid into position as close to the chair, bed or shower as
possible or over the toilet, then apply the brakes on the rear castors.
NoTE: Ensure there are no inclines or declines exceeding 5 degrees during transfer.
Step 8 Instruct the patient to lean forward slightly, hold onto the grab rail and assume a standing position.
When the patient is fully standing, remove the seat and return to its storage position within the
retaining clips. Remove the back support, then slide the seat support tubes back fully into their
tube housings.
Step 9 Instruct the patient to then carefully sit down onto the chair/toilet/bed or shower seat whilst holding
onto the front grab rail. Once the patient is safely re-seated and the transfer is complete, carefully
move the Transaid away from the patient.
The Transaid can now be stored or re-used for further transfers.
