Anatomy of the GoLift Portable450

Basics in Transferring a Patient

Lifting Sling

• A lifting sling with four to six straps designed for mounting on hooks should be used with the Amico Portable450 lift.
• 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 Portable450

• The Amico GoLift Portable450 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 caregivers technique.
• To use the GoLift Portable450 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 GoLift Portable450. Start with the uppermost set of straps (from the back) and then take the lowest set of straps (from the legs).

WARNING: 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 Portable lift hooks. When pressing the up button to lift the patient, check again that all straps remain correctly placed.

Lifting to and from a Seated Position

• When lifting a patient from e.g. a wheelchair, move the Amico GoLift Portable450 towards the patient to be lifted.
• The lifting hooks should be at the same height as the patient’s chest.
• Place the lifting hooks parallel to the patient’s shoulders.
• Place the lifting sling behind the patient’s back between the back of the chair and the patient’s back.
• The center band of the lifting sling should follow the patient’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 patient.
• All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling can now be mounted onto the GoLift Portable450 hooks.

Lifting to and from Lying Position in Bed

Bring the GoLift Portable450 over the center of the patient to be lifted.

• Place the hooks parallel to the patient’s shoulders.
• Turn the patient onto their side. The sling should be placed so that the top of the sling is at the same height as the top of the patient’s head. Now position the sling over the patient so that the center band follows the patient’s spine. Turn the patient onto their back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting sling. Place the leg straps beneath the patient’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 hooks. It would be advantageous 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 Portable450.

IMPORTANT: Plan the move and avoid leaving the patient in the sling unattended. Before lifting, check that the patient is completely free of their 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 Portable450 hand control and hand control cable is not tangled to the patient and other objects before the lift is activated.

IMPORTANT: Before lifting, ensure that the GoLift Portable450 is as straight as possible and patient is centered in the sling. Avoid lifting the patient when the GoLift Portable450 is tilted as it results in exaggeration of wear on the strap.

Never leave the lift unattended in an area such as a Psychiatric Ward with the patient.

Installing the GoLift Portable450 in the Amico PLP Track

• Remove both endcaps on the PLP Arm.
• By using an adjustable wrench, remove the endstop on the PLP track by loosening the bolts.
• Make sure the portable trolley is inserted correctly in the PLP track.
• Fasten the endstops back on to the PLP track. Ensure there is enough clearance room to place the endcap on the PLP arm and place the endcap back on the arm.
• Fasten all endstops tightly using an adjustable wrench.
  • NOTE: If you are installing the Amico GoLift Portable450 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 Portable450.
• To disconnect the lift from the trolley, open up the hook in the carabiner to release.

Installing the Endstop on the Amico Track

Labeling the Tracks

All of the lifts come with two track maximum capacity labels inside the box.

Before installing the lift in the track system, verify the maximum capacity of the room and the certifying load test. Walk around the room and find a spot on either side of the track where the label would be visible. Wipe down the surface of the track where the label is to be attached using one of the recommended cleaning agents (see Cleaning and Disinfection section). Allow the track to dry before peeling the label from the backing and attaching to either side of the track. With a permanent writing material, fill in the date that the track was certified using a permanent marker.

Using the Reacher Bar

• With the lift resting on a bed, cart, table or other stationary object, use the down button on the lift or hand control to release enough of the strap to the point that will allow you to connect the carabiner to the trolley without having to pick up the lift from its position.
• Open the carabiner latch by pressing the colored latch towards the back of the carabiner. This “opens” the carabiner so that it can be attached to the latch of the Reacher Arm. Once the carabiner is hooked onto the Reacher latch, release the latch of the carabiner so that it will be closed, and therefore locked in place.
• Raise the Reacher Bar up to the trolley. Make sure there is enough slack on the lift strap to accomplish this step otherwise it will not be possible to hook on.
• Slide the top hook of the Reacher Bar through the trolley. Make sure there is enough slack on the lift strap to accomplish this step otherwise it will not be possible to hook on.
• The lift has now been securely hooked onto the trolley. The Reacher Bar remains in position until the lift is removed.

Magnetic Connection

Magnetic Connection of the Hand Control to the GoLift Portable450

Magnetic hand control for quick attachment to the GoLift Portable450.

WARNING: Do not place the hand control within 6″ of a pacemaker. Patients with pacemakers must follow the instructions provided by their physician and pacemaker manufacturer.

Operating the GoLift Portable450

• The Amico GoLift Portable450 is switched on automatically when a button on the hand control is pressed. The Amico GoLift Portable450 switches off automatically after three minutes without activation.

Charging the GoLift Portable450

• The charger plugs in into the port on the GoLift Portable450.
• The batteries should be charged on a regular basis. To charge the battery, the switch must be in the ON position. 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 Portable450 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 lift be raised to a height that will not interfere with anything or anyone while the lift is not in use.

WARNING: Do not drain the batteries excessively, as they will be at high risk of damage. If the battery level is critically low (see LED and Buzzer Functions section), be sure to recharge the battery as soon as possible.
WARNING: Charge the batteries to full and turn the lift off before storing. Recharge the lift every three months while the lift is in storage.

LED and Buzzer Functions

LED INDICATORS

WAKING UP A LIFT AFTER CHARGING

When waking the lift from the sleep state, there will be a sequence of three LED statuses before the lift goes back to sleep. The LED color indications will differ slightly between waking the lift while charging and while not charging. See the table below for details.

• STATUS 1: Will always show green when the lift wakes up for four seconds.
• STATUS 2: Will be amber for four seconds to confirm that it is currently charging.
  • If the light remains green, this means the lift is on battery power and not being charged.
• STATUS 3: Shows the current battery level.
  • For a lift on charge, the light will change from amber to green after four seconds to indicate lift is at full charge. Otherwise, the amber light will remain for three minutes after inactivity before the lift goes back to sleep.
  • For a lift on battery power, the light will remain green for one minute if the battery level is acceptable. If battery level is low, the LED will change from green to amber after nine seconds and blink amber once per second. If battery level is critical, the LED will change from green to solid red after nine seconds, beeping once every three seconds. These states will remain until the lift goes back to a sleep state after one minute of inactivity.

| Portable450 and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the [ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM], including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance d = 1.2 √P

d = 1.2 √P 80 MHz to 800 MHz

d = 2.3 √P 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site surveya,. should be less than the compliance level in each frequency rangeb.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the [ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM] is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the [ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM] should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re- orienting or relocating the [ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM].

b.  Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
