1 INTRODUCTION
Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant your attention are included in this manual. Read the entire manual carefully before operating your new LF1600 Stand Assist, keep it handy for future reference, and refer to it as often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.
The Lumex Stand Assist is a manual standing aid that requires patients to assist themselves in preparation for transport. Patients qualied to use the Stand Assist must have adequate arm strength to pull themselves upward and enough leg strength to support their own weight. Patients who meet these criteria and have difculty walking will nd the Stand Assist a useful transport device. Functionally, the Stand Assist is positioned between a traditional walker and a battery powered sit-to-stand lift. The Stand Assist is a convenient toileting alternative to a wheelchair. Once the resident has positioned themself on board, the split seat can be positioned to allow the resident to sit comfortably while a caregiver performs the transport. For residents lacking the strength to assist themselves, we recommend a battery powered sit-to-stand lift.
The Stand Assist is capable of the following transfers when used according to the instructions:
• Bed to chair/wheelchair
• Bed/chair/wheelchair to commode
• Room to room
The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to be used only as basic guidelines. You may nd it necessary to develop your own methods for safely solving frequently encountered challenges. Again, consult your professional medical advisors for their recommendations about safety methods, and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.
All information and specications in this manual are current at the time of printing.
INTENDED USE
The Lumex Stand Assist’s intended use is as a transport assistance unit.
Contraindication
The Lumex Stand Assist is intended for use by residents who have the strength and stability to lift and support themselves. We recommend a battery powered sit-to-stand lift for residents with limited strength and stability.
WARNING: Personal injury - this device is designed for transport assistance
of individuals between approximately 5'1" and 6'6" (155 cm and 198 cm) in height. Ensure the LF1600 properly ts the individual being transferred before
use.
