BLUE WAYUP PLUS
with electrical
opening legs
The stand-up lift BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs is an active class I medical device accor-
ding to the EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC Appendix IX. It can be employed in all areas of care work and
is intended for use by caregivers properly instructed in its operation.
It is intended for short-term use not involving contact with injured skin and requires the use of a suitable sling.
The stand-up lift BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs may be used for patients weighing up to a
maximum weight of 150 kg.
The stand-up lift BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs is only suitable for driving short distances wit-
hin the patient’s residence or area of activity on one floor. It must only be used on an even, horizontal floor.
The climatic conditions must be an ambient temperature of 0°C to 40°C, humidity of 20% to 80%, air pressure
of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa and in the range of normally composed atmospheric air. It is permitted to be used
in wet areas. For example, this includes the toilet or the bath. This does not include using the patient hoist
under the shower.
The stand-up lift BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs is not explosion protected and is not permit-
ted to be used in potentially explosive areas.
Clinical pictures such as osteogenesis imperfecta, osteoporosis or spinal column damage, as well as mental
disorientation or epileptic seizures can represent contraindications.
The stand-up lift BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs is only permitted to be used after careful
consideration of the individual patient by the doctor and the care personnel.
Standard stand-up lift
In the standard stand-up lift version the BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs is solely to be used
for lifting and transferring a patient in a suitable sling. This is usually performed with the patient in a seated
position.
Active stand-up lift
In the active stand-up lift version, the BLUE WAYUP PLUS with electrical opening legs is solely to be used
to assist a patient from a seated position to a standing position and then transfer them in a suitable sling. It
serves as an aid to the natural movement of standing up and sitting down and can be driven with the patient
standing up so that they may still go to the toilet independently for example. Additionally, the patient’s par-
ticipation stimulates its residual mobility by strengthening his circulation and musculature.
The use of the active stand-up lift requires the active participation of the patient. The ability to hold on to the
lifting arm tightly is particularly important. Missing limbs or functional limitations of the musculoskeletal system
(e.g., paraplegia) can limit or rule out the use of an active hoist. This must be decided by the operator on a
case-by-case basis.
