Transferring from a Car to a Wheelchair

WARNING

When elevated a few inches off the seat of the car 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. Warranty will be voided.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.3 on page 40.

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

NOTE: One assistant MUST support patient at all times.

1.With the first assistant supporting the patient, the second assistant lowers the boom of the patient lift until the hooks of the swivel bar are even with the roof of the car.

2.Attach the sling to the swivel bar (Detail “A” of FIGURE 10.3).

3.Lift the patient up off of seat until straps are taut.

4.Turn patient with sling until legs are outside of car.

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

5.Lift up on legs with one hand and tilt the patient back with the other hand.

6.The second assistant should pull the patient lift away from the car until the patient is completely clear of the door frame (Detail “B” of FIGURE 10.3).

7.Release the patient back to his/her normal sitting position in the sling.

8.Place patient in wheelchair. Refer to Transferring to a Wheelchair on page 35.
