USING THE SCALE
Part No. 1150696 19 Traverse Lift/Transporter
SECTION 3—USING THE SCALE
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT attempt any transfer of a resident without approval of the resident's
physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this
owner's manual, observe a trained team of experts performing the lifting
procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper
supervision and a capable individual acting as a resident.
ICCI recommends the use of the safety strap and shoulder harness when using the
bath lift. Always adjust the safety strap and shoulder harness for safety and comfort
before transferring the resident onto the chair.
The safety strap should be used when lifting or transferring. Otherwise, the resident
may fall from the seat.
Make adjustments for safety and comfort before moving the resident.
Lock the rear casters of the bath lift when transferring an individual onto the seat or
stretcher. Locking the rear casters will stabilize the lift and help prevent it from
shifting during transfer.
Each facility and each resident will require a unique set of instructions and
procedures to follow for each bath. Check with your supervisor and the resident’s
chart for the proper procedures to follow.
Review and practice the operation with an able bodied assistant before attempting
with a resident.
