The document introduces a product called Bariatric Electric Patient Lift, which is designed to transfer patients from one resting position to another. It is not a transport device and requires the use of a sling recommended by the physician. During transfer, with the patient suspended in the sling to the lift, do not roll the caster base over objects such as raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces that would create an imbalance of the lift. Always use the steering handles to maneuver the lift.
The Drive Bariatric Electric Patient Lift is an ergonomic transfer device designed to allow attendants to safely move patients between resting positions. It is not intended for transporting patients and requires the use of physician-recommended slings. The lift features a battery-powered actuator, a base with caster brakes, and a control handset for operation.
The maximum weight capacity for this patient lift is 600 lb.
It takes approximately 4 hours to charge the battery from 50% to 100% capacity.
When the battery drops below 50% of full capacity, the controller gives an audible "beep" warning.
