Lifting the patient from a bed 1. With patient face-up in center of bed, roll patient onto their side away from attendant. 2. Place sling, folded lengthwise, halfway under patient with lower edge just beneath knees. 3. Roll patient onto their side toward attendant, pull sling to smooth it, and center patient on sling. 4. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs. 5. Cross the loops, one through the other. 6. Roll the patient lift under the bed, locating the spreader bar over the patient. Be careful not to lower the spreader bar onto the patient. Center the spreader bar over the patient before lifting. WARNING: Do not lock or block the patient lift casters when lifting. The casters must be free to roll so that the patient lift can stabilize as the patient is lifted from the bed. WARNING: To ensure stability while lifting or transferring a patient, the patient lift legs must be locked in the maximum open position. 7. Hook the sling loops onto the spreader bar. 8. If the patient is in a hospital bed, raise the bed's head section to elevate the patient. 9. Raise the patient carefully. If possible, lower the bed. Reposition the patient as needed, using the handle on the back of the sling, to ensure a safe and comfortable sitting position as the patient is raised. 10. Raise the patient until the buttocks are just above the mattress. Lift the patient’s legs and turn the patient to face the lifting column. Move the patient lift away from the bed. Ensure that the patient's arms and legs clear the patient lift, bed, or any other obstacles. Lowering the patient onto a bed 1. Raise the patient lift until the patient’s buttocks are above the surface of the bed. Ensure that there are no obstacles underneath or around the bed. Move the patient lift under the bed. Ensure the patient does not hit any portion of the bed and that the patient’s legs have cleared the bed. 2. Center the patient over the bed, and rotate the patient to face the foot section of the bed. SLOWLY release the pressure knob by turning counter-clockwise for gradual lowering of the patient. Carefully lower the patient onto the bed. Support the patient’s head, if necessary, while being lowered. Remove the sling by reversing the procedures used when lifting patient from bed. LF1030-INS-LAB-RevB10 Lifting the patient from the floor 1. Position the patient lift behind the patient, placing a pillow over the base to protect and support the patient’s head and neck. Place the patient's head carefully on the base. The patient lift should be positioned with the spreader bar centered over the patient. 2. Lower the spreader bar. Attach the sling to the spreader bar hooks. 3. Lift the patient up above the floor. Position the patient in the sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling. Turn the patient to face the lifting column, and place the patient’s feet on the base, straddling the column for extra stability. Lowering the patient to the floor 1. Place a pillow on the base to protect the patient’s head and neck (this is unnecessary when using a sling with a head support). 2. Reverse the above procedures to lower. Transferring the patient from a chair to a wheelchair or commode chair Note: GF Health Products, Inc. recommends that two attendants be used when transferring a patient to and from a wheelchair. 1. Fold the sling. 2. While maintaining support, gently lean the patient forward. Place the folded sling behind the patient’s back and push it down until it touches the seat of the chair. 3. Use the loops to pull the leg sections of the sling forward and beneath the patient’s thighs. Then cross the loops, one through the other. 4. Move the patient lift around to the front of the chair. 5. Hook all sling loops onto the spreader bar. 6. Carefully raise the patient. 7. The second attendant should now move the wheelchair into position. 8. Engage the wheelchair wheel locks to prevent movement. WARNING: Before transfer, ensure wheelchair wheel locks are in locked position. Wheelchair wheel locks must be in a LOCKED POSITION before lowering the patient into the wheelchair, or unexpected wheelchair movement could result, which may result in serious injury to both the patient and the attendants. 9. Position the patient over the wheelchair with their back against the back of the wheelchair. 10. SLOWLY lower the patient into the wheelchair. 11. With one attendant behind the wheelchair and the other operating the lift, the attendant behind the chair should pull back on the handle or sides of the sling to place the patient into the back of the chair. This will maintain a good center of balance and prevent the chair from tipping forward. LF1030-INS-LAB-RevB10 Removing the sling Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs. Standing by the patient’s side, lean the patient forward while supporting the patient with one hand. Pull the sling up from behind the patient’s back and position the patient in the chair. WARNING: Pulling sharply ...
