O

Invacare recommends that two (2) assistants be used for
ALL lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring
to procedures. The use of one (1) assistance is totally
based on the evaluation of the healthcare professional
for each individual case.
When elevated a few inches off the surface of
the commode chair or standard commode and
before moving the patient, check again to make
sure that the sling is properly connected to the
swivel bar hooks. If the sling attachments are NOT
properly in place, lower the patient back onto
the commode chair or standard commode to
correct this problem.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be
made before moving the patient. Patient's arms
should be inside of the straps.
Invacare slings are made specifically for use with
Invacare Patient Lifts. For the safety of the patient,
DO NOT intermix slings and patient lifts of different
manufacturers. Warranty will be voided.
Invacare does NOT recommend locking
of rear casters of the patient lift when lifting
an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to
tip and endanger the patient and assistants.
Invacare DOES recommend that the rear
casters be left UNLOCKED during lifting pro-
cedures to allow the patient lift to stabilize
itself when the patient is initially lifted from
a chair, bed or any stationary object.
