Switch
Single Carer Use:
Having fitted the Patient Handling Belt to the patient (see separate user guide), secure the clip
attachment on the long strap to create an extended loop to assist with raising/standing.
Apply both brakes on the Switch to ensure a stable and secure platform.
Place the patient's feet on the base plate, using the feet decals as a positioning guide.
Ask the patient to lean forwards and grab hold of one of the frame rungs, appropriate to their height,
reach and comfort.
The carer can then use either the longer (clipped) loop or a handle, providing the necessary
assistance during raising.
Caregiver(s) must ensure the patient maintains the correct position throughout the transfer.
Attachment of the Patient Handling Belt to the Switch:
NEVER secure the Patient Handling Belt to the Switch before the patient has reached a sta-
ble and fully standing position.
Once the patient is in the standing position, the Patient Handling Belt can be attached to the Switch by
securing the long adjustable loop around the curved vertical hook on the second rung down on the frame.
Feed the longer strap length around the base of the hook, fasten the clip, ensuring positive engage-
ment before tightening the strap enough to provide assistive support to the patient.
