LIFTING TO AND FROM LYING POSITION IN BED
• Sling the Carry Bar over the center of the patient to be lifted.
• Place the Carry Bar parallel to the patient’s shoulders.
• Turn the patient onto his or her side. The sling should be placed
so that the top of the sling is at the same height as the top of the
user’s head. Now position the sling over the user so that the center
band follows the user’s spine. Turn the user onto his or her back
and pull out the remaining part of the lifting sling. Place the leg
straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them. All four lifting
straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling can now
be mounted on the Carry Bar. It is an advantage to elevate the head
of the bed so that the patient is sitting up.
• Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding
the use of the lifting equipment and fitting of slings should use the
Amico GoLift.
IMPORTANT: Plan the move and avoid leaving the patient in the sling unattended. Before lifting, check that
the patient is completely free of his/her surroundings. The patient’s head, arms, hands and feet must not be in
danger or becoming trapped. Be careful with any tubes and wires that are attached to the user. Check that
the hand control and hand control cable is free of hanger, patient and other object before the lift is activated
up or down moved.
