OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIFTING THE PATIENT Lifting the patient from a bed 1. Roll the patient onto their side. Place the folded sling behind the patient’s back. The center of the sling should be parallel with the patient’s spine. Roll the patient onto their back on top of the sling. 2. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs. 3. Cross the loops, one through the other. 4. Roll the patient lift under the bed, locating the suspension over the patient.
Lowering the patient onto a bed 1. Raise the patient lift until the patient’s buttocks are above the surface of the bed. Ensure that there are no obstacles underneath or around the bed. Move the patient lift under the bed. Be careful the patient does not hit any portion of the bed and that the patient’s legs have cleared the bed. 2. Center the patient over the bed, and rotate the patient to face the foot section of the bed. Carefully lower the patient onto the bed.
8. Slowly lower the patient into the wheelchair. 9. With one (1) attendant behind the wheelchair and the other operating the lift, the attendant behind the chair should pull back on the handle or sides of the sling to place the patient into the back of the chair. This will maintain a good center of balance and prevent the chair from tipping forward. Removing sling Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Proper care and maintenance is 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. DO NOT wash under water pressure or steam clean.
