Lifting the Patient
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the attachment
points of the stand up 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.
Patient’s arms should be outside of the straps.
DO NOT use slings and stand up lifts of different manufacturers. Invacare slings are
made specifically for use with Invacare stand up lifts. Injury or damage may occur.
