6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIFTING THE PATIENT WARNING: Do not attempt to transfer a patient without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare professional and without having read the instructions and practiced using the patient lift. WARNING: Use special care for those patients who cannot cooperate while being lifted. WARNING: Ensure all bolts, hooks, and loops are securely fastened. WARNING: Use only Lumex slings with Lumex patient lifts.
Lifting the patient from the floor 1. Position the patient lift behind the patient, placing a pillow over the base to protect and support the patient’s head and neck. Place the patient's head carefully on the base. The patient lift should be positioned with the spreader bar centered over the patient. 2. Lower the spreader bar. Attach the sling to the spreader bar hooks. 3. Lift the patient up above the floor. Position the patient in the sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.
Removing the sling Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs. Standing by the patient’s side, lean the patient forward while supporting the patient with one hand. Pull the sling up from behind the patient’s back and position the patient in the chair. WARNING: Pulling sharply on the sling may cause the patient to fall forward, resulting in personal injury. Always support the patient by keeping one arm around the patient’s shoulders when placing or removing the sling.
7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex patient lift in a safe operating condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance checks should be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by an authorized dealer. WARNING: It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use. Ensure that all hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning properly.
CLEANING Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of time. CAUTION: DO NOT wash under water pressure or steam clean.
