TRANSFERRING TO
FIGURE 1 - TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT TO A
WHEELCHAIR
NOTE: Invacare recommends that two (2) assistants be
used for ALL lifting preparation, transferring from and trans-
ferring to procedures. The use of one (1) assistance is
totally based on the evaluation of the healthcare profes-
sional for each individual case.
NOTE: The legs of the stand-up lift must be in the
maximum open position and the shifter handle locked
in place for optimum stability and safety. If the patient
is in a sling and it becomes necessary to move though
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 posi-
tion and lock the shifter handle immediately.
