USER MANUAL FOR
V - TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT
Before positioning and transferring the patient, make sure:
● The patient's weight is compatible with the maximum
permissible load of the patient lift - 175 kg max.
● The batteries are charged and the patient lift is fully
operational.
● The floor is flat and stable.
● The patient lift brakes are functional.
● The sling is compatible with the SAMSOFT 175 (sling from
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare France).
- The sling attachments and the patient support elements are in
perfect condition.
● Regular maintenance is carried out at least once a year (see
maintenance manual included in this user guide).
● If the patient is agitated, an accompanying person should
secure the patient's movement.
Once these checks have been made, you can transfer the patient.
CAUTION: Move the patient lift base as far away as
possible before lifting or moving the patient.
Do not engage the brakes.
Do not continue to lift or lower the patient if the 4 castors
are not on the floor. Lifting should be done very gradually,
checking the patient is well positioned in the sling and
there is no risk of tipping due to excessive overhang.
IV-1) TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT FROM
A BED TO AN ARMCHAIR
● Position the patient on their side.
● Place the sling under the patient.
● Check the back part of the sling is correctly positioned (from
shoulders to tail bone).
● Lay the patient on their back.
● Pass each leg support under each thigh.
● Position the patient lift at the patient's level.
● Hang each loop of the sling to the hanger bar hooks.
● The patient can now be transferred from a bed to an armchair.
IV-2) TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT FROM
AN ARMCHAIR TO A BED
● Lean the patient forward while holding him/her.
● Slide the sling behind the patient's back up to the tail bone.
● Pass each leg support under each thigh.
● Position the patient lift at the patient's level.
● Hang each loop of the sling to the hanger bar hooks.
● The patient can now be transferred from an armchair to a bed.
Particular points:
● When positioning the sling, make sure it does not wrinkle at
the leg level to prevent injury to the patient.
● Do not apply the brakes when lifting so that the patient lift can
be positioned correctly in relation to the patient.

CAUTION
In case of power supply problem, you can manually
lower or lift the boom by pressing and turning the red
ring at the end of the cylinder rod.
IV-3) TRANSFERRING A PATIENT LYING
ON THE FLOOR
The patient's weight must not exceed 175kg and the patient
lift should be placed so that the patient's head and chest are
located inside the hoist legs. Perform the lift gradually, ensuring
that the patient remains well positioned inside the sling.
IV-4) MOVING
Although we do not recommend moving the patient whilst in
the patient lift, it is possible to use the patient lift to make a very
short trip with the patient suspended (e.g. from bed to shower).
Use the handles to move and guide the patient lift. Another
person should secure the patient.
● Do not push or pull the slings or the hanger bar to
move the patient lift.
● Do not move a patient if agitated.
VI - OPTIONS
VI-1) LOCKING SYSTEM FOR HOIST LEGS
IN OPEN POSITION
(only available for manual spacing version of the hoist legs)
This option allows the user to lock the hoist legs in the open
position if required.
Thus, the patient lift equipped with this option has a locking
system for the hoist legs in both closed (standard) and open
positions.
