Seated Transfer to PPU-S to Standing

In this scenario, the person needing assistance is seated in a chair, on a bed, on a couch, in a wheelchair or

elsewhere. The user will need to be transferred to the PPU-S to assist in raising them to a standing position, (see

Figure E, below).

The helper positions the PPU-S directly beside the seated person and uses the wired-remote to position the seat

one to two inches below the height of the seated person’s buttocks. This positioning facilitates a gravity-assisted

transfer eliminating the possibility of injury to the helper/caregiver or the person being lifted.

Either raise the rise assist handle on the appropriate side and swing it rearward or remove it completely by

removing the locking pin at the bottom of the handle then lifting the handle upward.

The helper then assists the user to slide to the PPU-S seat. If the assisted person is unable to slide safely, a

transfer board may be slid under the user to assist in the transfer.

Once the assisted person is fully seated in the center and to the rear of the PPU-S’s seat, have them place their

hands on the rise assist handles and let them know you are about to raise the seat. When ready, press and hold

the up button, as indicated by the arrow on the wired remote. The seat will rise until the “UP” button is released

or at the maximum height of 30” from the floor. Once the seated person’s weight shifts to their feet, they are

standing.

The Seat-Tilt locks may be disengaged once the patient has been lifted partially off the ground, to ensure the

seat rotates with the lifting person. This allows their weight to be rotated directly over their legs as they come to

standing.
