Introduction

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to transfer a patient without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this owner’s manual, observe a trained team of experts performing the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.

The legs of the patient lift MUST be in the maximum open position for optimum stabil- ity and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the patient lift under a bed, close the legs only as long as it takes to position the patient lift over the patient and lift the patient off of the bed surface. When the legs of the patient lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs to the maximum open position.

NOTE: Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation and transferring to/ from procedures; however, the patient lift can be operated by one assistant. The use of the patient lift by one assistant should be based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case.
