SECTION 10—TRANSFERRING

Transferring to a Car

WARNING

When elevated a few inches off the seating surface of the wheelchair and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that all hardware or straps are properly connected. Check each S-hook to make sure it is completely attached to the metal support bars of the sling. Check the attachment of the straps, O or D-rings to the swivel bar hooks. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower the patient completely to correct this problem.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patient’s arms should be inside of the chains or straps.

Invacare slings and hardware are made specifically for use with Invacare Patient Lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and patient lifts of dif- ferent manufacturers.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.2 on page 38.

NOTE: To position an individual in a sling, follow the procedures concerning lifting the patient, operation and sling attachments.

NOTE: Invacare recommends that two assistants be used when transferring a patient from a wheelchair to a car.

NOTE: The transfer to a car should be made on a level driveway or surface.

NOTE: Before lifting the patient from the chair, make sure to shorten the distance between the patient and the boom. This will make the transfer into the seat of the car easier.

NOTE: Assistants should practice ʺGood Body Mechanicsʺ (use your legs) when positioning patient onto any seating surface.

1.Attach the chains or straps to swivel bar (Detail “A” of FIGURE 10.2).

2.Lock the rear wheels to further prevent movement of the chair (Detail “B” of FIGURE 10.2).

3.Lift the patient from the wheelchair (Detail “C” of FIGURE 10.2).

4.Move the lift, by the steering handles, to a position close to the doorway of the car.

5.Lower the boom of the lift until it is about even with the roof of the car.

6.As one assistant pushes the patient into the car by his knees until he/she is positioned over the seat of the car, the other assistant lowers the boom.

7.As the boom is being lowered, the first assistant is not only pushing but turning the patient so he/she is positioned facing the front of the car (Detail “D” of FIGURE 10.2).

NOTE: The patient will come to rest on the seat of the car.

8.While one assistant is holding the patient, the other assistant removes the chains or straps from the swivel bar and slides the patient lift out of the way (Detail “E” of FIGURE 10.2).

NOTE: The sling may be left under the patient or removed (Detail “F” of FIGURE 10.2).
