Product Information

The Mangar SPU Swift Transfer Slide is designed to assist healthcare workers in transferring and repositioning patients in the supine position with minimal effort. It provides a stable and safe experience for the patient by reducing the need for excessive force during transfers. The device is powered by the Airflo Duo Compressor and is intended for use in transferring patients across flat surfaces or from a Lifting Cushion to a bed.

Usage Instructions

Positioning the Patient on the Swift

Ensure the patient is positioned correctly on the Swift using the handles provided. Avoid using the safety straps for transfer.

Operating

Connect the SPU Swift to the Airflo Duo Compressor using the valve and ensure a secure connection.
Do not tighten the safety straps fully before inflation as they will become tighter as the Swift is inflated.
Make sure the Swift is fully inflated before starting the transfer.

Cleaning and Disposal

Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning the device. For disposal, refer to local regulations for medical equipment disposal.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, contact Customer Service at +44(0)1544 267674 or email customerservices@winncare.uk for assistance.

PLEASE REFER TO THE SEPARATE AIRFLO DUO COMPRESSOR AND MANGAR RHINO (IF USING) INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING.

WARNINGS

This equipment MUST only be used by persons competent in its use.
The medical state of a person needing to be raised MUST be assessed before commencing a 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.
Always ensure the patient is centered on the Mangar Swift before and during inflation using the safety straps as guidance.
Ensure the Mangar Swift Transfer Slide is orientated with the white side facing up and the main label at the foot end of the patient before inflation.
If using the Swift with the Rhino Lifting Cushion, always ensure safety straps are connected to the Rhino during the lift.

Intended Use

The Mangar Single Patient Use Swift enables healthcare workers to transfer and reposition patients in the supine position with minimal moving and handling force needed, while providing a stable, safe experience for the patient.
The Mangar SPU Swift is intended solely for use as an aid for healthcare workers to transfer, move and reposition a patient either across a flat surface, or from a Lifting Cushion to a bed. It is powered using the Airflo Duo Compressor.
Positioning the patient on the Swift – fig.2

Position the patient on the SPU Swift in line with hospital guidelines and training materials.
Once the patient is on the Swift, the shoulders should lie in line with the top handles.
NOTE: Do not use or hold these safety straps to perform the transfer. Only use the handles provided.
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.
WARNING: The safety straps will become tighter across the patient as the Swift is inflated, so do not tighten fully before inflation.
Operating
NOTE: Alternative methods of transfer can be used with the SPU Swift. Please refer to hopsital guidelines and training materials for further details. An individual risk assessment is always required before operation.
Connect the hose (fig.3) to the air supply using the provided connector.
Turn on the air supply, connect the hose to the valve on the SPU 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 air flow.
WARNING: Ensure the Swift is fully inflated before beginning the transfer.
Once the Swift is fully inflated, the safety straps can be tightened around patient.
The Swift can be operated with a minimum of 2 carers, one on each side of the patient.
Use of a patient transfer board should be considered based on an individual risk assessment.
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. (fig.4)
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.

Cleaning and Disposal

The SPU Swift is not designed to be cleaned or disinfected.
When the Swift has reached the end of its working life, dispose of it using your organisation’s recycling/disposal system.
