Lumex Syatems LF1050 Personal Lift User Manual


 
LF1050 Patient Lift Owner’s Manual4
Congratulations on your purchase of a Lumex
patient lift. The following pages will provide you
with important safety and operating instructions on
the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories, as
well as maintenance and warranty information.
Read this manual carefully before operating your
patient lift and refer to it as often as needed.
Consult your Lumex dealer and/or healthcare
professional with any questions or concerns
regarding safe and effective techniques for
operating your patient lift.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval
of the patient’s healthcare provider. With their
assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs,
abilities, comfort and safety of the person being lifted.
It is important that you use correct slings adapted to
the body shape and weight and ability of the patient
and the specific type of transfer needed.
Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each
use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is
damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that
all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc.
Immediately replace any worn or broken
components. Your patient lift should receive
maintenance on a regular schedule and should be
inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your
Lumex dealer for service and repairs.
Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the
instructions in this manual. Observe a team of
trained experts perform the lifting procedures. The
operator should practice the entire lifting procedure
several times with proper supervision and a capable
individual acting as patient. It is extremely
important to know how a patient will feel in the
patient lift. We suggest that the operator try all the
various lifting slings and equipment until the
operator is confident with how the patient lift
operates. The lifting procedures should be
explained to the patient before the actual lifting.
Remember that safety requires the constant
attention of the lift occupant and the operator. Use
extreme care when operating a patient lift.
This guide covers the use of the LF1050 Patient Lift.
Keep in mind that the basic safety procedures
included in this manual are to be used as a guide only.
Again, consult your healthcare professionals for their
recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their
assistance.
Note: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift,
refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this
manual. Contact your Lumex dealer if
additional assistance is needed.
