WARNINGS

This equipment MUST only be used by persons trained and competent in its use who can assess dynamic loads.
The medical state of a person needing to be raised MUST be assessed before commencing a lift to ensure it is medically appropriate to perform the lift.
An individual risk assessment should always be performed for each patient before use.
Ensure that the surface on which the Mangar Swift is to be placed is free from sharp objects.
NOTE: Place a blanket, groundsheet, towel, or similar under the Swift if using it on a rough surface.
If a slide sheet has been used to transfer the patient onto the Swift it must be removed from under the patient before commencing inflation.
Never leave a patient unattended on the Mangar Swift Transfer Slide whilst it is inflated.
The Mangar Swift Transfer Slide must only be inflated using the Mangar Airflo Duo. Do not attempt to inflate with other manufacturers’ air supplies.
Always ensure the patient is centered on the Mangar Swift before and during inflation using the white markings and safety straps as guidance.
Ensure the Mangar Swift Transfer Slide is orientated with the white markings facing upwards before inflation.
If using the Swift with the Rhino Lifting Cushion, always ensure safety straps are connected to the Rhino during the lift, and then connected to the Swift again once the lift is complete and before performing a lateral transfer.
Ensure the surfaces you are transfering the patient between are in a suitable position and the brakes are applied to both surfaces before beginning the transfer.

Positioning the patient on the Swift – fig. 2
Position the Swift at the side of the patient so that the patient’s shoulders are level with the top arrows (A).
NOTE: Alternative methods of transfer can be used with the Swift Transfer Slide. Please refer to hospital guidelines and training materials for further details.
To transfer the patient onto the Swift, roll the patient onto their side, in the direction facing away from the Swift.
Roll or fold the Swift up to the halfway line and place the rolled half next to the patient’s back. (fig.3)
Roll the patient onto their back, and then onto their other side. Pull the Swift through and then the patient can be rolled onto their back.
NOTE: Once the patient is on the Swift, use the patient markings on the device as guidance to position the patient centrally. The shoulders should lie in line with the top arrows.
Secure the safety straps loosely around the patient to allow for complete inflation. (fig.4)
NOTE: Do not use or hold these safety straps to perform the transfer. Only use the handles provided.
WARNING: The safety straps will become tighter across the patient as the Swift is inflated, so do not tighten fully before inflation.

Connecting the Airflo Duo – fig. 5

Connect the hose (A) to the Airflo Duo compressor.
Place the Swift Transfer Slide so it is flat on the surface with the patient outline facing upwards and the air valves facing towards the foot end of the patient.
Note: Either end of the hose can be connected to the Airflo Duo, there is no correct orientation.
The Airflo Duo can be used with either mains power or battery power. The pump will automatically switch between mains or battery power.
Position the Airflo Duo compressor so that it will not be in the way during the transfer. The Airflo Duo can be hooked onto the foot of the bed using the bed hooks on the back of the pump.(fig.6)

Switching the Airflo Duo ‘On’ & ‘Off’ – fig. 7

To switch on, press the ‘Power’ button (A fig.7). The battery state indicator (B fig.7) will show the battery capacity at the start of operation.
To switch off, press and hold the ‘Power’ button for 2 seconds. The indicator lights will go out.

Operating

NOTE: Alternative methods of transfer can be used with the Swift Transfer Slide. Please refer to hospital guidelines and training materials for further details. An individual risk assessment is always required before operation.
Remove the caps from the valves before inflating the Swift (fig.8). Check that all straps are free so they don’t obstruct the transfer.
To inflate the Swift once the patient is in position, turn on the Airflo Duo, connect the hose to the valve on the Swift, and ensure a good connection. Once connected, the hose does not need to be held in place during use.
Always leave the hose connected for the duration of the transfer to ensure constant airflow.
ARNING: Ensure the Swift is fully inflated before beginning the transfer.
Once the Swift is fully inflated, the safety straps can be tightened around the patient.
The Swift can be operated with a minimum of 2 carers, one on each side of the patient. (fig.9)
NOTE: The number of carers required is dependent on an individual risk assessment.
The use of a patient transfer board should be considered based on an individual risk assessment. Consider using a patient transfer board if there is a considerable gap between the edge of the mattress and the receiving surface.
To perform the slide, the Swift should be slowly pushed across the surfaces in a controlled manner until the patient is halfway across, and then pulled slowly the remainder of the distance by the receiving carer(s).
The receiving carer should stand against the bed so that the Swift cannot travel too far across and overhang the bed.
Once the transfer has been performed, always ensure that the Swift is aligned centrally over the receiving surface and is not overhanging.
In situations where the bed/surfaces are wide and the carers would have to lean over to transfer the patient, additional carers can assist from the head and foot end of the bed.

After Use

Once the transfer is completed, disconnect the hose from the Swift, and turn off the Airflo Duo. The Swift will deflate slowly under the patient. Once deflated, replace the caps over the valves.
If using the Mangar Rhino, ensure the Swift is fully deflated before inflating/deflating the Rhino.
Transfer the patient off the deflated Swift and then fold up.

Routine Cleaning

Note: Always wipe clean any dirt or spills as soon as they occur.
Fully inflate the Swift, sponge clean with a nonabrasive proprietary liquid cleaner or disinfectant. Clinell Universal wipes or similar can be used. Dry thoroughly. Do not dry using hot air.

Disinfecting

The Swift should be fully inflated and pre-cleaned by washing with detergent and water, thoroughly rinsed and then disinfected using a 1:10 solution of household liquid bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water).
Leave the solution on the Swift for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean cold water. Allow to air dry before storage. Do not dry using hot air.

Maintenance

Other than routine cleaning, the Swift is maintenance-free.
Winncare recommends that your Swift is inspected annually by either your supplier or other suitably qualified people.
If required, Winncare can provide the above inspection within an annual service contract (UK only).
Please contact our Customer Service Department for further details on Freephone 0800 2800 485.

Transportation / Storage

Disconnect the Airflo Duo compressor from the Swift before transporting it to avoid accidental inflation of the cushion.
Ensure that the Swift is clean and thoroughly dry before storing to prevent product damage. Store in a dry environment.
Winncare recommends you ensure the Airflo Duo is fully charged before storing it. To maintain the Airflo Duo battery when being stored for long periods, ensure it is fully charged every 3 months.

Disposal / Recycling

When the Swift has reached the end of its working life, dispose of it using your organization’s recycling/disposal system.
When the Airflo Duo has reached the end of its working life, remove the battery for safe disposal and dispose of the Airflo Duo using your organization’s recycling/disposal system.
