1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lumex LF1090 Bariatric Patient Lift. The following pages will provide you with important safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories, as well as maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating your patient lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your authorized distributor and/or healthcare professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating your patient lift.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the person being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and weight and ability of the patient and the speciic type of transfer needed.
Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc. Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive maintenance on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor for service and repairs.
Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest that the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is conident with how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient before the actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant and the operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.
This guide covers the use of the LF1090 Bariatric Patient Lift. Keep in mind that the basic safety procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may ind it necessary to develop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your healthcare professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.

LF1090-INS-LAB-RevE13 11
Lifting the patient from a bed
1. Position patient face-up in center of bed. Roll patient onto their side facing away from you.
2. Fold sling lengthwise, outside out, and place it halfway under patient with lower edge just beneath knees and sling handle on the outside, facing away from patient. If the sling has a head support, ensure that it supports the patient’s neck and head.
3. Roll patient onto their side facing you. Pull sling out beneath patient inside up, smooth it, and center patient on sling.
4. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs. Cross the loops, one through the other.
5. 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 lowering a patient, the patient lift legs should be in the maximum open position.
6. Hook the sling loops onto the spreader bar.
7. If the patient is in a hospital bed, raise the bed’s head section to elevate the patient.
8. Use the hand pendant to carefully and slowly raise the patient. 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.
9. 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. Use the hand pendant to SLOWLY 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.
Lifting the patient from the loor
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 pillow. Position the patient lift 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 loor. Position the patient in the sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.
4. Turn the patient to face the lifting column. Remove pillow from base and place the patient’s feet on the base, straddling the column for extra stability.
LF1090-INS-LAB-RevE13 12
Lowering the patient to the loor
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
WARNING: 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 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.
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: DO NOT pull sharply on the sling. Pulling sharply on the sling may cause the patient to fall forward, resulting in personal injury. Always support the patient by keeping one arm around the patient’s shoulders when placing or removing the sling.
Info: If possible, the patient should be encouraged to take an active part in removing the sling. The patient can lean forward, lift their thighs, and help in removing the leg sections.
