Invacare 1150703 Personal Lift User Manual


 
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No. 1150703 9 Roze™ Stand Up Patient Lift
Lifting the Patient
Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure that the patient’s feet are out of the way of the foot
plate, otherwise injury may occur.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patient's arms should be outside of the sling
straps.
Before lifting a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise the patient off the stationary object
and check that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct the problem, then
raise the patient and check again.
During transfer, with the patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over uneven surfaces that
would create an imbalance of the patient lift and could cause the patient lift to tip over. Use steering handle on the mast at ALL
times to push or pull the patient lift.
Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the sling (stand assist or transfer) from
around the patient.
Invacare does NOT recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the
lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare DOES recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting
procedures to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object.
Transferring the Patient
Before transferring, check that the product’s weight capacity can withstand the patient's weight.
Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport.
Performing Maintenance
Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be
replaced. Perform this inspection every six months thereafter.
DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.
Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.
