2. Introduction: About Your Lift

Each Elevate lift is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being packed/shipped.
The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton to ensure the safe arrival of the lift. A number
of documents are supplied in a wallet, and packed with each lift and should be kept safely for future
reference:
• TEST CERTIFICATE
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and will be required for your insurance records. It
is valid for six months and after it has expired the lift should be inspected and serviced per the main-
tenance schedule.
Your authorised dealer can carry out servicing and periodic testing for those countries where this is a
requirement (Europe). Please ensure your lift is included in their maintenance schedule. If you are at
all unsure what your local market servicing requirements are, please check with your dealer, a local
government agency and/or Joerns Healthcare.
Prior to each daily use of your lift the checks detailed in the daily checklist within this manual
should be carried out.
The CE mark: The Oxford Elevate carries the CE mark and complies with the following EC directives:

Statement of Intended Use

The intended use of this lifting device is for the safe lifting and transfer of an individual from one
resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Joerns Healthcare recommends that the
transfer of a patient is fully risk assessed and conducted safely over a short distance only.
The Oxford Elevate is suitable for patients in the SITTING position only who have a degree of weight-
bearing ability but require assistance to stand. By removing the foot tray, the Oxford Elevate patient
lift can also be used as a walking aid following a careful risk assessment.
The Oxford Elevate is designed to support and promote safe patient handling and transfer for both
the patient and carer.
The Oxford Elevate stand aid is designed to be used in conjunction with the Oxford range of slings.
The examples of slings suitable for use with this device are listed as follows:
• Oxford Standing Sling
Oxford Patient Lifts should only be operated by fully trained/competent care givers.

Expected Service Life

Oxford Professional lifts are designed and tested for a minimum service life of ten (10) years, subject
to the use and maintenance procedures stated in this manual. Use, other than in accordance with
these instructions, may compromise service life.
