Pegasus PM-6080 Alpha Stand Quick Raising Aid Instruction Manual

Raising Aid Quick

General Information

Thank you for choosing a Petermann product.

Please read the user manual carefully before using the product for the first time!
The current understanding in modern occupational health and safety is that people in nursing professions experience significant work-related physical strain. Back injuries are common. There are many situations in which a patient has to be transferred from a  bed, a wheeled stretcher, ambulance stretcher, an X-Ray table or a wheelchair to a different stretcher or seat. The strain on the user and the patient / care-dependent can be reduced significantly through the use of sliding mats.

The use of transfer aids should be conditional upon the user having learned to use the equipment properly. The user has to decide for themselves what equipment is suitable to the patient’s situation and the intended sequence of movements.

Stand-up Aid Quick is part of a product range with a wide range of possible applications. This product is used in particular when raising and/or transferring patients in hospitals and other health care facilities as well as home care settings.

The product may only be used for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions.

The information in this user manual is for the patient who is being transferred and moved, as well as the user performing the transfer / position change.

Contact us if you require additional information or assistance using the Petermann product.

The raising aid is a safe transfer aid, which allows for a transfer in the bed or from the bed to the wheelchair which is pleasant and comfortable for the patient as well as being simple and back-friendly for the user.

3.6 Application
The Stand-up Aid Quick is used to help move the patient in the bed or to transfer the patient from the bed to the wheelchair. The Stand-up Aid Quick is a universal aid with many potential applications. In combination with the sliding board, it is a reliable aid for  transferring the patient e.g. into the wheelchair.

The Raising Aids Quick provide support on the patient’s back. This application ensures that the patient leans forward in a physiological manner. With conventional application methods, little attention is paid to leaning forward with a natural motion.
