About Molift Quick Raiser 205

Molift Quick Raiser 205 is a sit-to-stand mobile lifter intended for raising and transferring a person from/to a chair, wheelchair or toilet with a sling. Molift Quick Raiser 205 is intended for users who can follow instructions, have good stability in the upper body, and can support weight on at least one leg, but need assistance when standing. The shape of the lifter and geometry of the lifting movement imitates the natural pattern of movement of a person. The lifter is made of lightweight materials, has castors, and an electric motor powered by a battery. The hoist is operated by using the hand control or the control panel on the hoist. It has electrically adjustable legs and with a lifting capacity of 205 kg (451lbs). It is ideal for institutional care settings but can also be used in private homes and nursing homes. The lifter should only be used for transfers across short distances, such as between a chair and a bed or into a bathroom/rest room, and is not a replacement for a wheelchair or similar.

Transfer

Plan the lifting operation in advance to ensure that it is as safe and smooth as possible. Remember to work ergonomically. Assess the risks and take notes. The assistant is responsible for the safety of the user.

Using Slings

It is important that the sling has been tested with the individual user and for the intended lifting situation.

• Read User Manual for the sling prior to use.
• Do not to use damaged or badly worn slings.

Slings made by other manufacturers Only use Molift slings. Etac shall not be liable for faults or accidents that can occur when using slings made by other manufacturers.

Adjusting leg support

Move the Quick Raiser 205 in front of the user. Place the feet on the footplate. If necessary – help the user to place the feet correctly. Lock the wheels on the lifter before lifting the user. The optimal angle of the users joints before lifting is 90 degrees. Make sure the height of the leg support are adjusted to fit the individual users anatomy. The top of the cushions should be 2 cm under the users knee Use the turning knob to adjust the leg support higher or lower if necessary.

Make sure the user is not hanging forward or swinging to the sides under and before lifting or lower-ing the user.

Alternative leg support with straps

The alternative leg support with straps can be removed and turned 180 degrees to increase sup-port on both inside or outside of the users legs.

Using a 4-point suspension

• Fasten the sling to the lifting arm by guiding the strap into all 4 hooks.
• Pull the loose strap to adjust the length of the straps. Make sure both sides have equal length. The patient’s weight ensures that the strap locks into the lifting arm. The user must lean back slightly when lifting, and if possible hold onto the handles.

Removing sling

• Loosen the straps again by angling the buckle and puling the strap out.

Using a 2-point suspension

• On the 2-point suspension arm the ropes is attached to the lifting arm by pulling them firmly from above and into the rope locks.

Removing sling

• Release the band by sliding your fingers along the rope away from the patient.

RgoSling Active can only be used with the 4-point suspension. RgoSling Stand Up can only be used with the 2-point suspension.

Raising/Lowering
When moving the user, stand to the side of the person you are lifting. Make sure that arms and legs do not obstruct the seat, bed, etc. Keep eye contact with the user to help them feel safe. If possible: Extend the width of the wheel base prior to lifting using the button for base width adjustment on the Hand control.

1. Check that the sling is correctly fitted around the user and that the strap loops are correctly fitted to the suspension hooks.
2. Make sure user has both feets placed firmly on the footplate on the lifter.
3. Stretch the sling straps without lifting the user. Ensure that both loops of the sling are securely fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling.
4. Make sure the buckle is properly fastened
5. Lift user to standing postition, and tighten and adjust the sling if necessary.

Make sure the users hands are placed correctly to avoid that the lifting straps are squeezing the users hands and fingers.NB! The wheels of the object the user is being lifted from or into must be in the locked position.

Transfer
Raise the patient carefully until the buttocks are clear from the seating and tighten the belt. Unlock the wheels on the lifter and move the patient to the next location.

Be careful during movement not to run into furniture, walls, doors etc. The lifter shall not be used to lift or move users on sloping surfaces Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven surfaces or other obstacles that may block the castors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over. The lifter shall only be used for movement over short distances.
