Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of an EasyStand standing frame! We at Altimate Medical have designed the
EasyStand with comfort and happiness in mind.

EasyStand Description

The EasyStand line of products is intended for individuals who are able to transfer independently or with
assistance from a caregiver and/or lifting device. It is a useful tool for rehabilitation, home, school, and work
use. EasyStand standing frames support the user from sitting to the standing position. Various options may
be added to facilitate individual needs.

Intended Use

The EasyStand line of products is intended to assist individuals who have difficulty rising from a seated
position to a standing position.

Indications for Use

The EasyStand StrapStand product is indicated for most individuals weighing up to 350 lbs. and within the
height range of 5’0"-6’5".

This manual is an integral part of the standing system and should be read completely and thoroughly

condition. EasyStand adjustments that are listed in the product owner’s manual can be made by the
operator by following the instructions for use. After an adjustment is made, inspect the EasyStand to ensure
all hardware and adjustable components are properly secured per the instructions for use. Replacement of
worn parts, major adjustments, or any other important corrections should be handled by an authorized
supplier or service center. Only Altimate Medical, Inc., approved replacement parts should be used to ensure
safety and performance.

The EasyStand StrapStand shall be prescribed by a qualified physician or occupational/physical
therapist. Do not use the EasyStand StrapStand without consulting your physician and receiving
protocol for a standing program. Failure to consult a qualified physician prior to using the EasyStand
StrapStand could lead to medical problems. The EasyStand StrapStand must be used with a
qualified adult attendant present. Should any problems arise that you cannot solve by reading this

Adjusting Your StrapStand

®

Using the EasyStand StrapStand

Consult a therapist or doctor before starting any standing program.

1. To use the StrapStand,
position the wheelchair as
close as possible to the knee
pad. Casters on the StrapStand
should be locked.

4. After attaching the strap
to the lifting arms, adjust the
hook position. The strap can
be adjusted to accommodate
different size individuals. This
will vary depending on the strap
size and the girth of the
individual.

Caution: Never adjust the strap while in the
standing position.

2. Position feet in the foot
plates. Adjust knee pad height
so knees are centered in the
knee pad. With the wheelchair
locked, slide forward on the
seat so that the knees make
contact with the knee pad.

5. Adjust the placement of the
strap under the buttocks so
that the top edge of the strap is
slightly under the belt line. Slide
it into place as shown.

3. Hook the strap to one of the
lifting arms and bring the other
side around the body. Then
hook the strap to the other
lifting arm.

6. Partially lift the user by
pumping the actuator handle
towards the user to tension
the strap. At this time and if
necessary, reposition the strap.
Continue until the user is in the
standing position. The user’s
wheelchair should remain in
position and available so the
user can return to the seated
position.

StrapStand Options & Parts Detail

Standing

To Stand

Caution: Please consult with a physician or therapist before starting a standing program.

To stand, position the lifting strap behind the hips and attach it to the lifting arms. After
positioning feet and knees, pump the manual actuator handle to lift user from a wheelchair
to the standing position. The wheelchair should remain in position and available so the user
can return to the seated position.

Caution: Never make adjustments to the EasyStand while a user is in the standing position.

To Return to the Seated Position

Push the pump handle away from the user until the desired position has been reached. The
strap will slowly lower until the handle is released. If experiencing difficulty lowering the
strap, try applying less or more pressure to the pump handle. If the unit is in the standing
position and unoccupied, apply moderate pressure to the strap. Do not use excessive force.

Contraindications

Standing/weight bearing may not be an option for the following reasons:
If the user has severe contractures or range of motion issues
If the user has severe osteoporosis or brittle bone disease
If the user has postural orthostatic hypotension
If the user has dislocated joints

Caution: Consumers considering a standing program should consult with a qualified
physician and medical team to determine what indications or contraindications exist.
Clinicians must use best clinical judgment to evaluate the user’s needs.

Implementing a standing program must be determined on an individual basis by the user’s
team (Physician, Physical or Occupational Therapist, Rehab Technology Professional/Supplier
and the consumer). Consider all indications and contraindications for each client individually
to determine if standing/weight bearing is appropriate.

page 17 page 2

Standing

Maintenance

• Check your EasyStand periodically to make sure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely.
Failure to do so could result in parts falling off, which may cause a choking hazard for children.

Cleaning/Disinfecting

• Clean the EasyStand StrapStand with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water.

• Do not use bleach or any other bleach based cleaners on EasyStand standing frames.

• Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces.

• Use a damp sponge with mild soap or a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant.

• Spot clean Neoprene with mild soap and water.

• Neoprene covers may be removed and hand washed with water and air dried. Always use care when removing
and replacing the covers.

Urethane Coated Fabrics (Dartex or generic equivalent)

• The recommended cleaning and disinfection instructions should be followed whenever possible to avoid damage
to the PU membrane which could lead to premature failure of the cover.

• For superficial dirt use a disposable wipe and a warm solution of neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Disinfect using a 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution (1000ppm chlorine), stronger bleach solutions are not
recommended.

• Thoroughly wipe off any cleaning solutions with clean water and dry fabric before re-use or storage.

• Do not iron.

Hydraulic Actuator Maintenance

• An initial break-in period of approximately 50-100 full cycles is normal for the hydraulic unit. You may experience
a squeaking or a less-than-smooth stroke. The very close fit of its mating parts gives each pump its own break-in
“feel” and signature sound.

• If the pump is leaking oil or not holding properly contact your local EasyStand Supplier for a replacement. The
serial number on the EasyStand will be needed.

• Do not exert excessive force on the pump handle or use the pump handle to move your EasyStand around. This
may cause damage to the pump handle and/or the pump mechanism and will void any warranty.

• User maintenance is not required or recommended on the hydraulic pump. Never apply lubricant, household oil,
grease, or a similar product to any part of the unit. Some compounds may react with the seals used in the
manufacture of this product. This may damage the unit and will void any warranty.

• Do not exceed the rated weight limit.

• If the EasyStand was shipped during or exposed to a temperature of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10ºC), you
must allow the hydraulic unit to warm to room temperature before any use. Failure to do so could damage the
unit and render it inoperable.

• Once the standing position is reached, the pump may settle back one stroke, this is normal.

• It may not be necessary to push the pump handle all the way forward to lower the strap. If experiencing difficulty
lowering the strap, try pushing the handle into different positions.

• If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, it is necessary to apply pressure to the strap of the unit
while pushing the pump handle forward.

Purging The Hydraulic Actuator

The hydraulic pump on the EasyStand has a high probability of getting air trapped in the internal workings of the unit.
This is usually caused by in-transit handling and is quite normal. Please follow the simple steps below, as manual
hydraulic systems may never operate properly unless the entrapped air is correctly purged. The unit must be at room
temperature for this procedure.

1. Pump the handle until the full extension is reached.

2. Continue pumping the handle slowly for an additional 10 strokes. This will properly purge the system.
