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 Assist Lift.

SECTION 4—LIFTING THE PATIENT

Stand Assist Patient Lift 15 Part No. 1078985

Lifting the Patient

 WARNING

DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation of 25 stone (350 lbs).

Individuals that use the stand assist sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight,

otherwise injury may occur.

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

Assist Lift. Make sure that the sling is properly attached BEFORE lifting the patient. If any

attachments are not properly in place, correct the problem. When the sling is elevated a few inches

off the stationary surface and before moving the patient, check again to make sure the sling and all

attachments are securely in place. If any problem is found, lower the patient back onto the stationary

surface and correct the problem - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient.

Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the

comfort and safety of the individual that is being lifted.

NOTE:Forthisprocedure,refertoFIGURE 4.2onpage16.

 WARNING

Stand Assist Slings - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand assist sling is

positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient’s arms are outside the sling.

Standing Slings - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the standing sling is at the

base of the spine and the patient’s arms are outside the sling.

Invacare does not recommend locking the rear casters of the Stand Assist Lift when lifting and trans-

ferring an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Inva-

care recommends that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting and transferring procedures to

allow the Stand Assist Lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from and transferred to

a chair, bed or any stationary object.

FIGURE 4.2 Lifting the Patient

Moving the Patient

 WARNING

The legs of the Stand Assist Lift MUST be in the maximum open position 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 Assist Lift only as long as it takes to move through the

passage. When the Stand Assist Lift is through the passage, return the legs to the maximum

open position.

DO NOT, during transfer of a patient suspended in the lift sling, roll caster base over uneven sur-

faces that would create an imbalance of the lift. This could cause the lift to tip over. Use the mast

handle at all times to push or pull the lift.

SECTION 5—TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT

 WARNING

DO NOT attempt any transfer of a patient without the approval of a Healthcare Professional.

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

Stand Assist Lift. Check that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points prior to

lifting a patient. If any attachments are not properly in place, correct the problem. When the sling is

elevated a few inches off the stationary surface and before moving the patient, check again to make

sure that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower the

patient back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem - otherwise, injury or damage may

occur.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient.

Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the

comfort and safety of the individual that is being lifted.

Invacare does not recommend locking the rear casters of the Stand Assist Lift when lifting and

transferring an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants.

Invacare recommends that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting and transferring

procedures to allow the Stand Assist Lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from and

The legs of the Stand Assist Lift MUST be in the maximum open position 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 Assist Lift only as long as it takes to move through the

passage. When the Stand Assist Lift is through the passage, return the legs to the maximum

open position. If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the Stand Assist Lift under a bed,

close the legs only as long as it takes to position the Stand Assist Lift over the patient and lift the

patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the Stand Assist Lift are no longer under the

bed, return the legs to the maximum open position.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to ensure that it

is properly attached before the patient is removed from a surface.
