Amico GoLift Patient Lift Installation Guide

Installation and Operation Instructions
GoLift Patient Lift (400 lbs & 700 lbs)

Introduction

The primary purpose of a ceiling lift system is to safely lift and transfer a patient with as little effort as possible for the caregiver, regardless of the room type. A ceiling lift is simple and safe for the caregiver as well as the patient. The lift systems fit into all environments.
DESCRIPTION
The Amico GoLift is an ideal ceiling lift system designed for routine transfers of patients. The most compact ceiling lift in its class, the Amico GoLift is designed to be aesthetically pleasing to both the caregiver and the patients. In an effort to address infection control requirements, we gave careful consideration to the smooth edges and rounded corners of our ceiling lift, Carry Bar, and hand control. When you look under the cover of this compact lift, you will find an impressive set of all metal gears and state-of- the-art battery technology that will allow the caregiver to safely, and effortlessly, transfer a patient weighing up to 700 lbs on a single lift. For larger patients, you may combine two compact GoLift systems to obtain a lifting weight of 1000 lbs. In addition, our revolutionary trolley design allows for quick installation of the lift into and out of the track. The trolley provides an instant mechanical and electrical connection while our modular track system gives you tremendous flexibility so that your workspace may be optimized to suit your needs for any working environment.

The GoLift is available in two weight capacities which must not be exceeded:
400 lbs (182 kg)
700 lbs (318 kg)
The Amico GoLift is a fixed lift and can be installed in a variety of track profiles (the trolley can be customized to fit these track profiles) and it also works seamlessly with the Amico GoLift Pendant (PLP) System.

Anatomy of the GoLift

Basics in Transferring a Patient

Lifting Sling:
A lifting sling with four to six straps designed for mounting on hooks should be used when using an Amico  GoLift Carry Bar. Place the straps on the hooks and make sure the loops are not in the latch so the straps
do not unintentionally fall off.
Amico Mobility shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incorrect use of the lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention on the part of the caregiver or patient.

Working with the Amico GoLift:
The Amico GoLift moves freely in the track system and does not have any special requirements for space or power in connection with moving. Attention can be fully focused on the user’s functional level and the caregiver’s technique.
To use the GoLift correctly, the patient should only be lifted to the extent that she/he is clear of the surface and should be moved at this height.

Attaching the Lifting Sling:
Place the straps from the lifting sling on the hooks of the Carry Bar. Start with the uppermost set of straps (from the back) and then take the lowest set of straps (from the legs)

****Be careful when attaching the lifting sling on the hooks. Check that the straps have been completely through the opening and into place in the Carry Bar hooks.  When pressing the up button to lift the patient, check again that all straps remain correctly placed in the Carry Bar’s hooks.

Lifting to and from a seated position:

•  When lifting a patient from e.g. a wheelchair, move the Amico GoLift towards the patient to be lifted.
•  The Carry Bar should be at the same height as the patient’s chest and should not be moved further in over the user to the approximately mid-though position.
•  Place the Carry Bar parallel to the patient’s shoulders.
•  Place the lifting sling behind the user’s back between the back of the chair and the user’s back.
•  The center band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine. Lead the leg straps along the outer sides of the patient’s shins and beneath the thighs between the hollow of the knees and the hip joints. Cross the leg straps in front of the user.
•  All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling can now be mounted on the Carry Bar.

Lifting to and from lying position in bed:

•  Bring the Carry Bar over the center of the patient to be lifted.
• Place the Carry Bar parallel to the patient’s shoulders.
• Turn the patient onto his or her side. The sling should be placed so that the top of the sling is at the same height as the top of the user’s head. Now position the sling over the user so that the center band follows the user’s spine. Turn the user onto his or her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting sling.  Place the leg straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them. All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling can now be mounted on the Carry Bar. It is an advantage to elevate the head of the bed so that the patient is sitting up.
• Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding the use of the lifting equipment and fitting of slings should use the Amico GoLift.

Important: Plan the move and avoid leaving the patient in the sling unattended. Before lifting, check that the patient is completely free of his/her surroundings. The patient’s head, arms, hands, and feet must not be in danger or becoming trapped. Be careful with any tubes and wires that are attached to the user. Check that the hand control and hand control cable is free of the hanger, patient, and another object before the lift is activated up or down moved.

Installing the GoLift in the Amico PLP Track

1.  Remove both the end caps on the PLP Arm.
2. Make sure the trolley is inserted correctly in the GoLift. The trolley is equipped with sensors that will only allow the GoLift to operate when the trolley is secured inside the lift.
3.  By using an adjustable wrench, remove the end stopper on the PLP track by loosening the bolts.
4.  Slide the GoLift motor into the PLP track from the other side. Make sure the GoLift Motor is constantly  in contact with the charging strip.
5.  Fasten the end stops back onto the PLP track. Ensure there is enough clearance room to place the end cap on the PLP arm and place the end cap back on the arm.
6. Fasten all end stops tightly using an adjustable wrench. NOTE: If you are installing the Amico GoLift in an existing track system you must ensure that the max load of the track system is equal or higher than the max load of the Amico GoLift.
7. To disconnect the lift from the trolley, press on the two quick-release trolley buttons and pull down on the lift.

Installing the Endstop on the Amico Track

Use a 3/16 Allen key to secure the end stop to the track.

Connecting the Carry Bar to the Lift Strap

1.  Hold the Carry Bar and press the button using the thumb as shown.
2.  Insert the strap attachment in the slot on the Carry Bar top cover with the open side facing down and release the button.
3. Check that the button has returned to its locked position by checking that it is flush with the cover of the  Carry Bar and that the strap attachment can rotate freely.

Connecting the Hand Control to the Carry Bar or Wall Plate

Capacitive touch hand control – Allows users with limited dexterity to effortlessly operate the unit.
Magnetic Hand control connects for quick attachment to Carry Bar or wall plate.
Do not place the hand control within 5″ of a pacemaker. Patients with
pacemakers must follow the instructions provided by their doctors.

Operating the GoLift

The Amico GoLift has switched on automatically when a button on the hand control is pressed. The Amico GoLift switches off automatically after approximately three minutes without activation.

Charging the GoLift

The charger contacts with two metal charging strips located inside the track. Whenever the lift is over a section of track with charging strips, it will automatically start to charge the lift if the battery is low.
The batteries should be charged on a regular basis. It is recommended that the lift be left on charge when not in operation, and at the end of each day. This will maximize the life cycle of the batteries.
The GoLift may remain connected to the charger indefinitely since the charger has a built-in regulator,  eliminating the danger of overcharging.
As a general rule, it is recommended that the Carry Bar be raised to a height that will not interfere with anything or anyone while the lift is not in use.

Do not drain the batteries excessively. This will dramatically reduce the lifespan of the batteries.
If the slow beep sounds, be sure to recharge the battery as soon as possible.

Do not leave the GoLift with the power on for a long time. If the GoLift is not returned to the charger the batteries will be drained and damaged.

Do not install the power supply in a position where it is not possible to disconnect the plug from the charger.
NOTE: Ensure that the trolley is in the charging section of the track when installing the lift.

To reset, press Up button, then the Down button, then the Up button, then the Down button, and then hold both buttons for 10 seconds.
If successful, the LED turns Red, Green, and Orange. The buzzer beeps three times.
Please note, that a reset can be performed at any time, not just after the 1000th lift.

Emergency Stop

The GoLift unit also has an Emergency Shut-off feature that allows the operator to shut off the power to the lift completely in the event of an emergency. By pulling once on the RED emergency lowering cord, located on the underside of the lift, the lift will immediately stop and all its functions will be disabled. The ON indicator light will turn off, and the Emergency Shut-off button located inside the lift will pop out.  After an emergency, the lift must be inspected prior to restoring to use. In order to restore power to the lift, the tab must be pressed back into the lift.

Do not pull the red cord forcefully. For assistance after an emergency,
contact: Amico Service at: [email protected] or 1.877.462.6426

Emergency Lowering

In the event that the DOWN button on the hand control does not function, or in power failure situations, the patient may be lowered by pulling and holding down the RED emergency lowering cord located on the underside of the lift.
Continue to pull down until the patient is safely lowered to the desired position. The lift will beep as you continue to pull down on the cord and will continue beeping until the cord is released after the desired lowering has been achieved.
NOTE: The emergency lowering button does not provide a raising function. The failure of any of the lowering devices should be reported to Amico Mobility.

In an event of an emergency when the normal lowering system of the lift malfunctions and the “emergency lowering” function is used, the lift must be reset by a qualified lift technician before re-use.

Manual Emergency Lowering

The manual emergency and raising should only be used if the emergency lowering does not work. A proper safety ladder or stool may be required to remove the plug from the cover. Remove the round plug from the lift cover and use a 3/16″ or 2.5 mm Allen key to rotate the motor in the up or down direction.

Caution: DO NOT attempt to use the lift while using manual lowering.

Remove the round plug from the lift cover and use 3/16″ or 2.5 mm Allen key to rotate the motor in the up or down direction.

Overspeed Cam

The Overspeed Cam brake is made of a metal bar fixed to the drum. In case of gear or motor breakage, the centrifugal force created will block the bar against the frame.

Cleaning and Disinfection

The exterior of the GoLift should only be cleaned, disinfected using the recommended cleaning agents shown below. Damp a cloth with the cleaning agent and wipe down the entire exterior of the lift and Carry Bar. Other chemicals and/or liquids not listed should not be used to clean and disinfect this lift.

Take great care to ensure that no liquids get inside the Amico GoLift. The lift is not drip-proof or water-tight. Failure to protect the lift from liquids may result in damage to the lift and may cause personal injury.
Recommended cleaning agents:

• Virox Accel TB
•  Virox 5
•  Dispatch Hospital Cleaner disinfectant towels with Bleach
• Clorox Healthcare Professional Disinfecting Bleach Wipes
•  Sani-Cloth super germicidal disposable wipes
•  Virocidin-X

Troubleshooting

Should problems arise with the use of the Amico GoLift, review the following chart. Find the fault and complete the recommended solution. If the fault is not found and or/the solution does not correct the problem contact Amico Mobility.

The GoLift emits a slow beep while in use. The lift only goes down but not in the upwards direction.| The batteries are low and the lift should be charged.
The GoLift cannot lift.| If the load is in excess of the safe working load the GoLift will not work due to over-current protection.
The batteries are always dead after a few charges| Replace the batteries as they may be at the end of their service life
The GoLift does not operate when you press the buttons on the hand control.| Check that the emergency cord is not pulled.
The GoLift is not operating properly| Make sure the GoLift is inserted all the way inside the trolley. This would activate the trolley’s limit switches.
The lift does not go up| There may be a twist in the lift strap.

Inspection and Maintenance

Prior to using the Amico GoLift, the inspections should be conducted per the following schedule:

• In accordance to the ISO 10535 Standard “Hoists for the transfer of disabled persons – Requirements and test methods” an inspection should be performed on the GoLift at least once a year. This inspection should be performed by a qualified technician and should include a working load test of one (1) lifting cycle with the maximum load.
  ** These two functions must be checked by a qualified technician to ensure the essential performance of the GoLift.
  Do not operate the GoLift until any issues discovered during the inspection have been addressed by a
  certified technician.
