SECTION 4—LIFTING THE PATIENT

 WARNING

DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation of 350 lbs.

DO NOT attempt to any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical

assistant.

ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

Invacare patient slings are made specifically for use with Invacare patient lifts. For the safety of the

patient, DO NOT intermix patient slings and patient lifts of different manufacturers.

Individuals that use the standing patient sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own

weight, otherwise injury may occur.

The legs of the stand-up lift MUST be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle locked in

place for optimum stability and safety. If the patient is in a sling and it becomes necessary to move

through a narrow passage, close the legs of the stand-up lift only as long as it takes to move through

the passage. Once the stand-up lift is through the passage, return the legs of the stand-up lift to the

maximum open position and lock the shifter handle IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT move the patient if the patient sling is not properly connected to the attachment points on

the patient lift. Check that the patient sling is properly connected to the attachment points BEFORE

lifting the patient.

During transfer, with the patient suspended in the patient sling, DO NOT roll the base of the patient

lift over any uneven surfaces that would cause the patient lift to become unstable.

Use the steering handle on the mast assembly at all times to push or pull the stand up lift.
