1.2 Intended Use

WARNING!
Risk of Falling
The Invacare mobile patient lift is NOT a transport
device. It is intended to transfer an individual from
one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a
wheelchair).
Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically
designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient
lifts.
Mobile patient lifts are battery-powered transfer devices, designed to
be used in most of the common lifting situations in hospitals, nursing
facilities and domestic areas, for example:
•
Between the bed and a wheelchair
•
To and from the toilet
•
Lowering and raising patients to/from the floor
The mobile patient lift can be used to transfer and position completely
or partially immobile patients, who cannot be transferred with other
types of lifts or transfer aids. All position changes are possible without
assistance of the patient. The mobile patient lift is only intended to
lift patients up to the maximum weight limit stated in technical data.
There are no known contraindications for this product.
