HUMAN CARE 55300H Roomer S Overhead Lift with Hanger Bar Instruction Manual

HUMAN CARE 55300H Roomer S Overhead Lift with Hanger Bar

A portable overhead lift with room-to-room functionality provides you with a unique ability to move a patient safely and easily from one room to another or from one rail system to another. The lift has two belts, both of which are connected to the rail during a transfer, allowing the transfer to take place horizontally. The transfer takes place in one operation, which means that both the patient and caregiver avoid exposure to unnecessary strain during lifting and moving. The lift is used for lifting and moving a patient, for example to or from a bed, wheelchair or toilet or from the floor. The apparatus can also be used for walking training, and with the help of some accessories, for balance training and weighing.

WARNING! This symbol is used when particular attention is required

Lifting and moving a person always entails some risk. You should therefore read the user manuals for the lift and the lifting accessories carefully. Always make sure that the accessories you are using are intended for use with the lift. As a caregiver, you are responsible for the patient’s safety and you must know whether or not the patient will be able to cope with the lifting process.
Human Care’s lifts are designed only to raise and lower patients in a vertical direction, and never diagonally or through angles. The lift must always be positioned directly above the patient when lifting. The patient must always be positioned above the surface onto which they are to be lowered.

LIFTING OR LOWERING A PATIENT o DIAGONALLY OR IN AN ANGLED MOVEMENT MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO THE PATIENT OR THE CAREGIVER.

If the product is used in any way that is not recommended by Human Care, then Human Care will not accept responsibility for any injuries or accidents that may occur.
Anyone using the equipment must have been given adequate tuition and training in use of the lift and its accessories Patients must not use the lift without an adult present. Never leave a patient alone in the lift.
If no other agreement or approval exists, the owner of the product is responsible for any combinations using accessories or products from suppliers other than Human Care.
Always contact your supplier if you have any questions or if anything is unclear.
Human Care’s products are continuously being developed and updated and we reserve the right to make design changes without prior notice.

Safety Instructions

Before using for the first time, make sure that:

• you have read and understood the user manual for the lift and all of its accessories
• the lift has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions
• the lift accessories are intended for use with the lift and are correctly fitted
• Before use: charge battery upon arrival. To ensure battery capacity is maintained, the new ceiling lift must be charged for 8 hours immediately upon arrival before it is put in use or stored. This is because the ceiling lift may have been stored for some time and during that period not been charged regularly.
• Check to see if there is a distance strap suspended from the rail or if there is a hook fitted to the rail roller. The recommended minimum height from the floor to the distance strap is 1850 mm.
• Remove the lift and charger from the packaging.
• Remove the seal from the lift belt after first reading the user manual.
• Plug the charger in at an easily accessible wall socket.
• Plug the hand control into the charger. If the indicator light on the charger is glowing yellow, charge until the indicator light turns green.
• lift accessories, e.g. sling, distance strap and rail roller, are showing no signs of wear or other damage
• the lift is correctly suspended in the distance strap, rail roller and rail
• the right types, sizes, materials and designs of the accessories have been selected with respect to the patient’s safety and needs
• the lift accessories have been correctly installed.
• The sling’s strap loops and suspension must be checked once the loops are fully extended when lifting but before the patient is lifted from the underlying surface
• It is important to always check that the loops are at the bottom of all hooks (see picture below), securely placed below the locking pin.
• Of you have a lift with a telescopic hanger bar it is important that the hooks of the telescopic hanger bar are in the correct position, with the opening of the hook is facing upwards on both hooks (please see picture below).

Symbols on the unit and product label

Functions

Emergency stop
In an emergency, the emergency stop can be activated by pressing the RED button. To reset the emergency stop, turn the RED button clockwise.

Emergency lowering
In event of an emergency the emergency low-ering function can be used. Press emergency lowering button and down button at least 3 seconds simultaneously to activate the emer-gency lowering. Older lifts (before july 2016) may not have double key command and delay.
An audio signal indicates that the lift is lowering. Always ensure that emergency lowering can be performed as safely as possible for the patient. The emergency lowering button only works when the lift is switched on and emergency stop has been deactivated. When the emergency lowering is active, the end position switches are inactive. If the button is pushed until the lift is in its lowest position, the lift will start to go up again. Always stop at the lowest position.

The emergency lowering button must only be used in emergency situations.

Safety catch
The lift is equipped with a safety catch. This prevents involuntary falls. If the lift belt is pulled out too quickly, the safety catch will engage, thus preventing the fall. Slacken the lift belt to unlock the catch. With the safety catch engaged, the lever (10) can never be turned, as this blocks the lowering function of the lift!

Mechanical emergency lowering
During power loss and the hoist is loaded, user in the hoist, the mechanical emergency lowering is activated and the hoist is lowering in a safe and reliable manner.

Overheating
The lift has overheating protection which stops the motor if it gets too hot. Overheating can occur if the motor is overloaded or operated continuously for quite a long time. The lift’s work cycle (work:pause) is 15:85. Maximum continuous operation is two minutes. If this is exceeded, there is a risk of the motor overheating.

Belt tension guard
The lift is equipped with a belt tension guard that prevents unintentional discharging of the lift belt. The lift must be loaded in order to be able to pull the belt out. This means that when the lift is lowered to a surface, the lift belt is only fed out if it is pulled upwards while the DOWN button on the hand control or the control panel is held pressed in. The purpose of this is to pull out enough of the lift belt
in order to be able to hook the lift onto the suspension hook, or to unhook it.

Two Speeds
When the lift is loaded with less than approx. 40 kg it can be run at two speeds. If the Up or Down button is pressed for longer than 3 seconds, the lift will run in the faster mode. If the lift is loaded with more than approx. 40 kg it will only run in the slower mode.

Suspending the lift from the rail
Place the lift on a suitable surface. Turn the lever (10) so it is pointing towards the leg hook (5) and pull out (do not jerk it) the lift belt on the bar side (2) up to the hook on the distance strap and hook it diagonally from above (see fig).
Then turn the lever (10) so that it points towards the telescopic bar (4) and the lift belt (2) is now connected. Switch on at the mains and the lift is ready for use.
The direction of the lever (10) determines which belt is engaged and which is active. If the lever (10) is pointing towards the leg hook (5) the belt nearest the leg hook (3) is active. If the lever (10) is pointing towards the telescopic bar (4) the belt nearest the telescopic bar (2) is active.

Hand control

The hand control is equipped with an Up button (1) and a Down button (2) for raising and lowering the lift.
When the lift is loaded with less than approx. 40 kg it can be run at two speeds. If the Up or Down button is pressed for longer than 3 seconds, the lift will run in the faster mode. If the lift is loaded with more than approx. 40 kg it will only run in the slower mode.
On the short side of the hand control there is an input for charging the lift and an input (mini-USB) for communicating with the lift.

The covers for the USB input and the charging input must be closed for the hand control’s water protection (IPX5) to be valid.

Secondary control panel
The lift is equipped with a secondary control panel located on the lift which can be used as an alternative to the hand control. It is equipped with Up button (2) and Down button (3) for raising and lowering, an OFF/ON button (1) for activation/deactivation of the lift and an emergency lowering button (4) for quick lowering the lift.
Press emergency lowering button and down button at least 3 seconds simultaneously to activate the emergency lowering. Older lifts (before may 2016) may not have double key command and delay.

Indicator

The indicator light (8) has the following indications, which are only accessible when the lift is switched on.

Normal. It might be a good idea to charge up the lift.
Flashing red| The lift is on and ready for use. Battery level is Low. The lift must be charged up immediately.
Constant green| The lift is in operation or loaded.
C onst an t re d| The lift safety catch has engaged. (See troubleshooting table)
---|---
C onst an t y e l l ow| The lift is charging. The lift’s function is blocked.
Flashin g green/ yellow| The lift’s service interval has passed. Service and annual inspection must be performed immediately.
Flashin g red/yellow| The lift’s service interval has passed. Service and annual inspection must be performed immediately. Battery level is Low. The lift must be charged up immediately.

Charger
The indicator on the lift flashes red when the batteries need recharging. Plug the charger cable into the hand control or put the hand control into the charger cradle and charging will start. When the lift is charging the indicator glows yellow.

The lift can only be used with a charger recommended by Human Care, article number 50880.

• Charge the lift regularly, preferably every night
• The charger must be disconnected when you use the lift
• The lift’s function is blocked during charging. Disconnect the charger to use the lift
• The unit charges regardless of the position of the main switch
• If the emergency stop is activated the lift cannot be charged. Check that the emergency stop is not activated when charging.
• The charger must only be connected to an earthed socket.

Important! When the batteries reach a critically low battery level, it will no longer be possible to perform more lifts (up or down). However, there is still enough battery power for emergency lowering. See separate manual for the charger, 99599.

Detaching the lift from the rail system
Lower the lift so that it stands solidly on a surface. The lift will stop automatically when it reaches the surface. It may be useful to use Human Care’s cart (Art.no. 50346). Feed more belt out by pulling gently on the belt that is active while at the same time pressing the Down button on the hand control or control panel. When the belt is slack it can be easily unhooked from the distance strap by lifting the belt loop upwards.
Hold the active belt and turn the lever (10) to the opposite position to release the pulled-out belt. The belt will automatically be retracted. Make sure the belt is kept taut and gets rolled up in the lift straight, without folding.

Using the lift

Important! If the buttons on the hand control or control panel are used to feed the belt back into the lift, the belt must be kept taut until the entire belt has been fed in.

Press the Up button on the hand control or control panel on the lift to lift the patient. Press the Down button on the hand control or control panel to lower the patient. Pressing the button activates a soft start, and releasing it causes a soft stop.
The direction of the lever (10) determines which belt is engaged and which is active. If the lever (10) is pointing towards the leg hook (5) the belt nearest the leg hook (3) is active. If the lever (10) is pointing towards the telescopic bar (4) the belt nearest the telescopic bar (2) is active.

Important! Do not turn the lever unless both belts are connected to their respective rail rollers. The lever (10) must always point towards the belt that the lift is suspended from or is to be transferred over to! When the lift is suspended from only one of the lift belts and the lever (10) is turned over to the free belt, the loaded belt will be released if you physically raise the lift. This can result in the lift falling, which may be dangerous. Turn the lever (10) back immediately to the loaded belt to avoid unintentional disconnection!

Set the telescopic bar (4) to the prescribed position. Ensure that the bar hooks are in the same position on both sides. Place the patient in the prescribed sling according to the sling instructions and hang the sling in the hooks on the telescopic bar and in the leg hook (5). Check that the sling’s lifting straps are properly anchored in all hooks.

Data communication

Roomer S is able to communicate with a standard PC (Win 7/Win 8). This communication makes it possible to obtain statistics and other information on the lift.
To communicate with the overhead lift you need the Human Care Data and Service Application, software that can be downloaded from the Human Care website, www.humancaregroup.com
Connect the lift to your PC with a standard mini-USB cable. Start the Human Care Data and Service Application and follow the instructions. The lift must be switched on for communication to be possible. The lift is deactivated while communication takes place.

The following information can be read from the lift

• Article number, serial number and production date
• Max. user weight
• Software version
• Service dates
• Periodic usage statistics
• Error log

Connected computer equipment must fulfil the requirements of IEC 60950-1 or IEC 60601-1
The latest software for the lift should always be used. You can find the latest version at our website.

Telescopic hanger bar
The telescopic hanger bar is only avaliable on lifts with part no: 55030, 55040 and 55050.

Set the telescopic bar (4) to the prescribed position. Ensure that the bar hooks are in the same position on both sides. Place the patient in the prescribed sling according to the sling instructions and hang the sling in the hooks on the telescopic bar and in the leg hook if your are using threepoint suspension(5). Check that the sling’s lifting straps are properly anchored in all hooks.
The hooks on the telescopic bar have three adjustable positions (40, 50 and 60 cm). To change position, turn the hooks 1/4 turn while pushing or pulling the hooks to the desired position. The hooks will automatically fall into place in the position, and so it is necessary to repeat the turn (1/4 turn) when passing the middle position (position 2) (See fig).

Important! Do not hold on to the telescopic bar or the hooks when performing a lift.

Lifting height
The lifting height corresponds to the difference between the highest and lowest position the lift can reach. This corresponds to the length of the lift belt. The length of the lift belt is 2050 mm.
If you want to extend the lift belt there are distance straps in various lengths available as extras. The lifting height of the lift is not affected by the length of the distance strap.
The total height of the system consists of the rail in which the lift is mounted, the rail roller in the rail, a distance strap if relevant and the lift.

Room-to-room transfer
The lift offers a unique ability to move a patient smoothly and easily from one room to another or from one rail system to another. The transfer takes place horizontally in a manner that is safe and comfortable for the patient. It requires no structural engineering measures such as making holes in or above doors. If the sling is suspended using only the telescopic hanger bar, the maximum recommended weight is 100 kg (220 lbs).

Important! To ensure that the lift belt will not be damaged, it is important that the lift is balanced during moving, lifting and lowering operations. Never hold or pull the lift belt when moving a patient.

1. Move the patient to the doorway or to the place where the room-to-room transfer is to take place. Raise the lift until it is approx. 10 cm away from the hook. Pull out the non-active lift belt and hook it securely diagonally from above in the hook in the other room or the other rail system.

2. Turn the lever over so that it points towards the direction in which you want to move the patient. Check that the lever has been turned over properly. Now both lift belts are connected.

3. Press the Up button on the hand control or on the control panel and keep it pressed in to perform the transfer to the other room.
   Transfer is complete when the lift belt in the room you left has been released.

4. Unhook the belt that has now been released. Hold onto the belt, which is automatically retracted to the lift.

5. Continue further along the rail in the next room or next system.

Accessories
If the maximum weight for any of the accessories, e.g. slings, lift bars and any other accessories is NOT the same as for the lift, then the lowest max. weight given for any one product is the one that shall apply.
Always check the label on the lift and lifting accessories or contact Human Care if you have any questions or if anything is unclear.
Human Care recommends using only Human Care slings with Human Care lifts. Visit www.humancaregroup.com to view all our lift accessories.
