English

1. Introduction

The Oxford Switch is a sit-to-stand and transfer device for moving a person over short distances.
This might be bed to chair, chair to wheelchair or to and from a toilet/commode, for example. As
a secondary application, the Switch can also be used to help reposition a patient who may have
slouched in their chair. The Switch has a very compact footprint, enabling effective use, even
in confined spaces. It can also be quickly disassembled into two separate components to aid
transportation and storage.
The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton that is used for both export and domestic
markets to ensure the safe arrival of the product.
To properly maintain your product please refer to the maintenance schedule included in this

with your authorised distributor and/or a local government agency.
