Offering a compact and versatile design, the Star Mover is suitable for Homecare, Acute Care and Aged Care environments.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT
The Star Mover has been designed to transfer human patients with the assistance of one carer or attendant.

The Star Mover should only be used with Aspire approved standing slings, which have been chosen and assessed by a competent trained health professional.

IMPORTANT – only approved slings and accessories are compatible with this product. If you are unsure please contact Aidacare on 1300 133 120.

The correct and appropriate use of the Star Mover reduces the risks associated with manual patient handling. The lifting and transferring of patients should always be assessed and planned by a trained health professional.

9. CARE & MAINTENANCE

For trouble-free operation and prolonged working life of the Star Mover, we recommended periodic inspection by a person suitably qualified and acquainted with the design, use and care of patient movers.

If inspection reveals that the safety of the Star Mover has been jeopardized in any way, the unit should be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE, tagged as such, and reported to the owner.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE & CHECK LIST

• Check Castors are fastened securely to the frame
• Castors should run and swivel smoothly – periodically remove any hair or other fibres that have built up within the Castor.
• Check that the brakes on the rear Castors function normally.
• Clean surfaces with a pH-neutral detergent – chlorine and phenol based detergents should not be used as these may damage patient mover components and surfaces.
• All moving parts and pivot points should be routinely checked for fatigue and lubricated if necessary.
• Sling attachment points should be checked for general wear and tear and replaced if necessary.
