Transferring to a Bed

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.3 on page 29.

NOTE: The lower center of gravity provides stability making the patient feel more secure and the lift easier to move.

NOTE: The lift arms will stay in position until the down arrow button is pressed.

1. Position the patient as far over the bed as possible.

NOTE: If patient is being transferred from a surface that is lower than the bed, press the up arrow button to raise the patient above the surface of the bed. The patient should be elevated just high enough to clear the bed with their weight fully supported by the lift.

2. Press the down arrow button and lower the patient onto the bed.
