SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

 WARNING

SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as Owner’s Manuals, Service Manuals or Instruction Sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the Dealer for further instructions.

The Invacare 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). Moving a person suspended in a sling over any distance is not recommended.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.

Use common sense while operating lifts. Special care MUST be taken with people with disabilities who cannot cooperate while being lifted.

Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s patient lift system.

Assembling the Lift

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

Operating the Lift

Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case.

DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for the 9805 and the 9805P lifts is 450 lbs.

Portable Patient Lift and Sling 10 Part No 1024492

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

If the patient lift is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on patient lift handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.

Using the Sling

Use an Invacare approved sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.

DO NOT use any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during transfer.

After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching.

Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT alter slings.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).

If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards.

When connecting slings equipped with color coded straps to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back of patient for support. Using longer straps will leave little or no support for patientʹs back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head support when lifting a patient.

Lifting the Patient

When using an adjustable base lift, the legs MUST be in the maximum Opened/Locked position before lifting the patient.

When the sling is elevated a few inches off the surface of the bed and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower the patient back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patientʹs arms should be inside of the straps.

Invacare slings are made specifically for use with Invacare Patient Lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and patient lifts of different manufacturers.

Part No 1024492 11 Portable Patient Lift and Sling

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Before transferring a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise the patient off the stationary object and check that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct the problem, then raise the patient and check again.

During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the patient lift and could cause the patient lift to tip over. Use steering handle on the mast at all times to push or pull the patient lift.

Transferring the Patient

When elevated a few inches off the surface of the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower the patient back onto the commode chair or the standard commode and correct this problem.

Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport.

Before transferring, check that the wheelchair weight capacity can withstand the patientʹs weight.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient is removed from the bed or chair.

Mast pivot under the rubber boot must be tight to ensure safe use of the patient lift. Bolt MUST be checked at least every six months in conjunction with periodic maintenance.

Performing Maintenance

The pump is sealed at the factory. DO NOT attempt to open the pump or obtain local service as this will void the warranty and might result in damage. Consult your dealer or write Invacare for further information.

After the first year of use, the hooks of the swivel bar and the mounting brackets of the boom should be inspected every three months to determine the extent of wear. If these parts become worn, replace them IMMEDIATELY.

Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.

After the first twelve months of operation, inspect the swivel bar and the eye of the boom (to which it attaches) for wear. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every six months thereafter.

Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

Patient Slings

 WARNING

Use a sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.

Patient slings work in conjunction with lifts to support the patient during lifting and transferring procedures.

Slings attach to the lift by using either sewn-in loop straps, chains or adjustable straps. Slings are adjustable. They are interchangeable with any Invacare patient lift.

Each sling offers reinforcing at each hook-on point to ensure patient safety.

Each sling is constructed of durable materials which resist deterioration from exposure to moisture or laundering.
