SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
| ALWAYS ensure that attendants have read this guide before operating this
lifter.
---|---
| ALWAYS use slings that are assessed and considered suitable by a trained
healthcare professional.
| ALWAYS ensure the area around the lifter and patient is clear of
obstructions.
| ALWAYS minimise the distance over which the patient is being transferred by
positioning support surfaces as close as possible.
| DO NOT operate the lifter without training in the safe operation of lifters
and slings. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT USE.
| DO NOT use the lifter where any doubt exists regarding the safety of the
standing lifter including but not limited to wear or damage with particular
importance to be placed on the yoke and lifter sling attachment points.
| DO NOT use the lifter with slings showing any signs of wear or damage,
including fraying.
| DO NOT exceed the 200kg / 31.5st safe working load of the Aidacare Aspire
200S Lifter.
| DO NOT use the lifter as a means of transportation over distances in excess
of 3 metres. It is not designed as a transportation device.
INTENDED USE
The 200S Standing Lifter has been designed to stand and transfer human
patients with the assistance of one carer or attendant. This product is
suitable for indoor areas only and it should NEVER be used outdoors.
All Aidacare Aspire standing lifters should ONLY be used with Aidacare
approved patient slings, which have been chosen and assessed by a competent
trained health professional. For a complete list of all compliant lifting
slings please contact Aidacare.
IMPORTANT – only approved slings and accessories are compatible with this
lifter. If you are unsure please contact Aidacare.
The correct and appropriate use of the 200S Standing Lifter 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.
This lifter is designed for indoor use ONLY and should NOT be used outdoor
under any circumstances.
WARNING: DO NOT manually lift the boom of lifters.
This is the direction of travel for which this standing lifter has been designed.
How to Use Correctly:
The boom of the lifter is designed to be lifted only by an electric actuator.
Aidacare Lifters and Standing Lifters do not pull downwards during lowering.
This safety spline feature is designed to avoid entrapment and crush injuries.
This safety feature means that it is physically possible to raise the lifter
boom by hand on some models with LA31 actuators fitted.
DO NOT raise the lifter boom by hand or any other means except under direct
drive from the electric actuator fitted to the lifter.
Raising the boom can cause it to become stuck in an elevated position.
Under load this can result in the patient to free fall and risks catastrophic
injury to the patient and/or carer.
ALWAYS use the handset or control unit buttons to raise and lower the boom of
the lifter. This will ensure correct and safe functioning at all times.

CHARGING DO’S AND DON’TS
ALWAYS
-
Charge the battery whenever possible, to maximise battery life.
Allowing batteries to fully discharge can reduce the useful life of a battery. -
Always inspect all cables particularly the mains power cable on the charger for any damage; replace if any signs of damage or wear are visible.
-
Always stow the handset, charger and mains power cable when transporting the lifter to prevent loss and or damage.
-
Always clean the actuators, control box, charger, battery and handset at regular intervals to remove dust/dirt.
NEVER
- Never allow the battery to fully discharge before recharging. Allowing batteries to fully discharge can reduce the useful life of a battery.
Castors

To disengage the castor brake simply place the point of your toe underneath the brake pedal and lift-up.
Emergency Stop
To engage the emergency stop press the red button located on the control unit
until it sits flush and remains in position.
To disengage the emergency stop function twist the red button clockwise until it pops out
STANDING GUIDE
It is important that carers are familiar with manual handling techniques along with any sling instructions prior to completing any patient lifts. All patients should have the correct sling and transfer techniques assessed by a qualified health professional. Explaining the lift process to the patient is important to ensure patient comfort and confidence and whenever possible two carers should conduct patient lifts for additional safety.
-
User sling positioning
Ensure that the user is ready and lean them forward. Slide the sling down behind the user until the underarm pads are just below the axilla (arm pit). Pull the straps and loops through under the user’s arms and fasten the chest strap in place. -
Attaching the sling to the yoke
Ensure that the standing lifter legs are open to the maximum width and slowly position it as close to the front of the chair as possible – be careful to keep the boom and yoke clear of the user during this process.
The user’s feet should be positioned on the foot platform shoulder width apart. The user should grip the handles on the sling bar for stability. Once the yoke is at chest height on the user the sling loops can be attached. For chair lifts the rear brake castors should not be used to ensure the standing lifter can locate its centre of gravity easily. Note: For taller users e.g., over 6ft tall, attach loops to the hooks closest to the user. For other users, attach loops to the hooks in the middle. -
Lifting the user
As the straps pull tight but before the user’s bottom leaves the support surface underneath, ensure the sling is positioned appropriately and that the sling loops are attached securely. Check that the user is still comfortable and that the sling is correctly positioned. Ask the user to lean back into the sling and straighten their legs as the lifter rises. Raise the user slowly until the user is in a standing position.
SLING COMPATIBILITY
The Deluxe Padded Standing Sling has been developed to work seamlessly with
the Aidacare range of standing lifters.
This standing lifter may also be suitable for use with other brands of slings.
To confirm if a sling is compatible with any of the Aidacare Aspire range of
patient lifting systems contact Aidacare.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the working life of the standing lifter and for trouble free
operation it is recommended that periodic inspections should be performed
routinely by a person who is suitably qualified and well acquainted with the
design, use and care of patient standing lifters.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the standing lifter is jeopardized in
any way the standing lifter should be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE,
tagged as such and the owner notified.
COMMON CHECKS, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
- Check castors are fastened securely to the frame
- Castors should run and swivel smoothly – if hair or other fibres have built up within the castor this should be removed
- 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 standing lifter components
- All moving parts and pivot points should be checked for fatigue and lubricated if necessary
- All electrical components should be checked for normal function including battery and battery charger
- The actuator shaft should only be wiped with a cloth. DO NOT lubricate. Should you have any questions, contact Aidacare.
AS A MINIMUM A FULL SERVICE SHOULD BE COMPLETED EVERY 6 MONTHS AND THE LOAD
TEST EVERY 12 MONTHS TO MAINTAIN WARRANTY.
Electrical Test & Tag – where standing lifters are in use in a commercial
environment then the testing regime applied should align with the risk
assessment made by the owner for safety and other compliance requirements.
TO MAINTAIN GLOBAL STANDARDS COMPLIANCE UNDER AS ISO 10535-2011 A FULL SWL
TEST MUST BE COMPLETED EVERY 12 MONTHS.
