INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift. The following pages will provide you with important safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories, as well as maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating your patient lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your authorized distributor and/or healthcare professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating your patient lift.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the person being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and weight and ability of the patient and the specific type of transfer needed.
Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing
is damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc. Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive maintenance on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor for service and repairs.
Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest that the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is confident with how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient before the actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant and the operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.
This guide covers the use of the Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift. Keep in mind that the basic safety procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may find it necessary
to develop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your healthcare professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.
Info: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor if additional assistance is needed.
Info: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant” and the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.

Lifting the patient from a bed

1. Position patient face-up in center of bed. Roll patient onto their side facing away from you.
2. Fold sling lengthwise, outside out, and place it halfway under patient with lower edge just beneath knees and sling handle on the outside, facing away from patient. If the sling has a head support, ensure that it supports the patient’s neck and head.
3. Roll patient onto their side facing you. Pull sling out beneath patient inside up, smooth it, and center patient on sling.
4. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs. Cross the loops, one through the other.
5. Roll the patient lift under the bed, locating the spreader bar over the patient. Be careful not to lower the spreader bar onto the patient. Center the spreader bar over the patient before lifting. WARNING: Do not lock or block the patient lift casters when lifting. The casters must be free to roll so that the patient lift can stabilize as the patient is lifted from the bed. WARNING: To ensure stability while lifting or lowering a patient, the patient lift legs should be in the maximum open position.
6. Hook the sling loops onto the spreader bar.
7. If the patient is in a hospital bed, raise the bed’s head section to elevate the patient.
8. Use the hand pendant to carefully and slowly raise the patient. If possible, lower the bed. Reposition the patient as needed, using the handle on the back of the sling, to ensure a safe and comfortable sitting position as the patient is raised.
9. Raise the patient until the buttocks are just above the mattress. Lift the patient’s legs and turn the patient to face the lifting column. Move the patient lift away from the bed. Ensure that the patient’s arms and legs clear the patient lift, bed, or any other obstacles.

Lowering the patient onto a bed

1. Raise the patient lift until the patient’s buttocks are above the surface of the bed. Ensure that there are no obstacles underneath or around the bed. Move the patient lift under the bed. Ensure the patient does not hit any portion of the bed and that the patient’s legs have cleared the bed.
2. Center the patient over the bed, and rotate the patient to face the foot section of the bed. Use the hand pendant to SLOWLY lower the patient onto the bed. Support the patient’s head, if necessary, while being lowered. Remove the sling by reversing the procedures used when lifting patient from bed.

Lifting the patient from the floor

1. Position the patient lift behind the patient, placing a pillow over the base to protect and support the patient’s head and neck. Place the patient’s head carefully on the pillow. Position the patient lift with the spreader bar centered over the patient.
2. Lower the spreader bar. Attach the sling to the spreader bar hooks.
3. Lift the patient up above the floor. Position the patient in the sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.
4. Turn the patient to face the lifting column. Remove pillow from base and place the patient’s feet on the base, straddling the column for extra stability.

Lowering the patient to the floor

1. Place a pillow on the base to protect the patient’s head and neck (this is unnecessary when using a sling with a head support).
2. Reverse the above procedures to lower.

Transferring the patient from a chair to a wheelchair or commode chair

WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. recommends that two attendants be used when transferring a patient to and from a wheelchair.

1. Fold the sling.

2. While maintaining support, gently lean the patient forward. Place the folded sling behind the patient’s back and push it down until it touches the seat of the chair.

3. Use the loops to pull the leg sections of the sling forward and beneath the patient’s thighs. Then cross the loops, one through the other.

4. Move the patient lift around to the front of the chair.

5. Hook all sling loops onto the spreader bar.

6. Carefully raise the patient.

7. The second attendant should now move the wheelchair into position.

8. Engage the wheelchair wheel locks to prevent movement.
   WARNING: Before transfer, ensure wheelchair wheel locks are in locked position. Wheelchair wheel locks must be in LOCKED POSITION before lowering the patient into the wheelchair, or unexpected wheelchair movement could result, which may result in serious injury to both the patient and the attendants.

9. Position the patient over the wheelchair with their back against the back of the wheelchair.

10. SLOWLY lower the patient into the wheelchair.

11. With one attendant behind the wheelchair and the other operating the lift, the attendant behind the chair should pull back on the handle or sides of the sling to place the patient into the back of the chair. This will maintain a good center of balance and prevent the chair from tipping forward.

Removing the sling
Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs. Standing by the patient’s side, lean the patient forward while supporting the patient with one hand. Pull the sling up from behind the patient’s back and position the patient in the chair.

WARNING: DO NOT pull sharply on the sling. Pulling sharply on the sling may cause the patient to fall forward, resulting in personal injury. Always support the patient by keeping one arm around the patient’s shoulders when placing or removing the sling.

Info: If possible, the patient should be encouraged to take an active part in removing the sling. The patient can lean forward, lift their thighs, and help in removing the leg sections.

Transferring the patient from a bed to a wheelchair or commode chair

1. For smooth, easy lifting, have the wheelchair or commode chair in ready position with wheel locks in locked position.

2. With patient face-up in center of bed, roll patient onto their side away from attendant.

3. Place sling, folded lengthwise, halfway under patient with lower edge just beneath knees.

4. Roll patient to side toward attendant, pull sling to smooth it, and center patient on sling.

5. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs.

6. Cross the loops, one through the other.

7. With base of lift under bed, use the hand pendant to carefully lower spreader bar.

8. Attach sling to spreader bar.

9. Use the hand pendant to slowly lift patient, maintaining patient’s position facing attendant, until patient’s feet swing easily off the bed.

10. Position patient above wheelchair or commode chair. Lock lift brakes.
    WARNING: Before transfer, ensure wheelchair or commode chair wheel locks are in locked position. Wheelchair wheel locks must be in LOCKED POSITION before lowering the patient into the wheelchair, or unexpected wheelchair movement could result, which may result in serious injury to both the patient and the attendants.

11. Use the hand pendant to SLOWLY lower patient. During descent, assist patient in attaining correct sitting posture.

12. When patient is seated, push down on boom to slacken sling loops. Patient can remain seated on sling.

13. For commode chair use, adjust clothing before moving lift to straddle commode chair. Keep sling loops taut and ensure that patient is in a comfortable position.

EMERGENCY RELEASE
In case of lift failure while using the Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift, follow the procedure below to safely lower the user. The Emergency Lowering Device is located at the top of the actuator shaft. It is intended for use if the actuator fails to operate while a patient is suspended.

The device consists of a plastic collar ring that should be turned clockwise continually until the patient has been lowered.
Contact your dealer immediately if standard troubleshooting techniques do not correct the failure. Do not attempt to lift patients until all failure issues have been safely resolved.

Info: The emergency lowering device is intended for use during lift failure. This device will allow lowering of patients only. Please contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor immediately in case of failure.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift in a safe operating condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance checks should be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by a Graham-Field authorized distributor.

WARNING:

• It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use. Ensure that all hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning properly. Failure to do so could result in patient/attendant injury or damage to your patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in serious injury. Only use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and discard old worn and unusable slings.
•  Service and repair of the Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift should be performed only by a Graham-Field authorized distributor. Graham-Field is not responsible for any consequence resulting from any unauthorized service or repair.
•  Unauthorized modification of the patient lift or the use of non-Lumex replacement parts may change the structure of the lift and could create a hazardous condition, which may result in serious injury and will void the warranty.
•  The electronics and actuator contain no serviceable components. If service is required, the unit must be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the electronics or actuator or obtain local service; this will void the warranty and may result in damage to the unit. Consult your Graham-Field authorized distributor for further information.

When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.

BEFORE EACH USE

Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:

• All nuts and bolts are tight
• The base can be easily widened
• All lift parts are in place
• All casters turn freely
• Caster brakes can be engaged
• All necessary items (i.e. slings, wheelchairs, etc.) are accessible and ready for use
• Check battery capacity

AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
The lift should be thoroughly inspected by a person qualified to recognize any signs of wear, and looseness of bolts or parts. Replace any worn parts immediately.

LUBRICATION
When the lift is serviced, and every month thereafter, place a drop of oil on the following points:

• Top of mast
• Spreader hinge

CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended every three months; clean the lift more often as needed. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital-grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of time.

NOTICE: DO NOT wash patient lift underwater pressure or steam clean.

CARE OF SLINGS
Lumex slings are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes. The head support’s plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be air dried or dried by using a dryer on LOW heat.
