WARNING!
Risk of Injury
– Before transferring, check that the wheelchair
weight capacity can withstand the patient's
weight.
– The wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a
locked position before lowering the patient into
the wheelchair for transport.
1. Perform the following steps in addition to those required
to lift the patient of another resting surface or stationary
object
2. Engage the parking brakes of the wheelchair to prevent
movement of the wheelchair.
3. Position the patient over the seat with their back against
the back of the chair.
4.
Begin to lower the patient and use the grab handle
(on selected models) or sides of the sling to guide the
patient's hips as far back as possible into the seat for
proper positioning. This will maintain a good center of
balance and prevent the chair from tipping forward.
6.7 Transferring a patient to and from
a commode
The Invacare patient lift is NOT intended as a
transport device. If the bathroom facilities are NOT
near the bed or if the patient lift cannot be easily
maneuvered towards the commode, then the patient
MUST be transferred to a wheelchair and transported
to the bathroom facilities before using the patient lift
again to position the patient on a standard commode.
The slings with commode openings are designed to
be used with either a commode chair or standard
commode.
Before transferring the patient, the patient lift should
be guided to the bathroom facilities to check that it
can be easily maneuvered towards the commode.
