The corded handset
allows the caregiver to be close to the patient during the lift & transfer.
You need never move the lift.

|
|
Simply press the "down" button and the patient is slowly lowered into proper position
in a wheelchair or commode.

 Position
LIFTEM for a normal patient lift and transfer. Position the
boom away from the patient and assemble the stretcher sling
system. The patient is log rolled onto the fabric stretcher
sling.
Rotate the boom so that the stretcher sling system is positioned directly
over the patient, making sure the boom is high enough not to interfere
with the patient.
Lower the boom and connect the straps of the fabric stretcher sling to
the four (4) end hooks on the spreader bar.
Conduct a “Tilt Check” by lifting the patient slightly off
the bed so all weight has been transferred to the stretcher lifting system.
|
|
 Several
tilt checks may be necessary until a very minimal tilt of the
stretcher lifting system is observed. In this position the patient
is easily transferred to a gurney or bed.
