1.3 Intended Use

WARNING!
Risk of Falling
The Invacare stand assist lift is NOT a transport
device. It is intended to transfer an individual
from one seated surface to another (such as a
bed to a wheelchair).
Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are
specifically designed to be used in conjunction
with Invacare patient lifts.
To avoid injury or falls:
– Patients who are transferred and positioned
using the stand assist lift MUST be cooperative,
coherent and have head and neck control.
Otherwise, injury may occur.
– Patients who are transferred and positioned
using the stand assist sling MUST be able
to support a majority of their own weight.
Otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Refer
to the sling user manual for more information.
Stand assist lifts are battery-powered transfer devices,
designed to be used in most of the common lifting situations,
for example:
• Between the bed and a wheelchair
• To and from the toilet
The stand assist lift is only intended to lift patients up to the
maximum weight limit stated in technical data.
The product is intended for indoor use only.
Selecting the appropriate slings and accessories for each
individual is important to assure safety when using a patient
lift. See Invacare's sling and accessory user manuals for
further information on those devices.
Invacare recommends that the patient be transferred to a
shower chair or other means for bathing.
The stand assist lift can be turned (rotated) in place for
transfers with limited floor space.
