Safe storage temperature Safe air pressure Page 7 of 30 6 Overview of the XXL Lift The XXL Lift was designed to meet the requirements of hospitals and institutions for a mobile lifter capable of handling the transfer of bariatric patients in a safe dignified and efficient way Whereas most bariatric lifters with traditional spreader bars are not suited for smaller patients due to the width of the spreader bar the flexible cords on the PowerTilt allows smaller slings to adapt to the width of smaller patients This makes the XXL lift a very versatile lifter which can be used for all patient sizes Main patts The lifter consists of a base with a chassis with a receiver for the lifting mast The chassis contains the lifting motor lifting electronics leg spreading motor batteries and battery management system as well as the CompassDrive drive system On the chassis there is plug for the hand control an emergency stop button an emergency lowering button as well as a plug for the external power supply On the lifting mast there are 2 drive handles each equipped with a man machine interface MMI which controls the drive functions of the XXL Lifter The MMIs are placed in such a way that they can be controlled equally well from behind the lifter and from the side of the XXL Lift This allows one to save the space normally needed behind the lifter for the operator In this way the XXL Lift can operate where there is limited spa

In the unlikely event that the control electronics malfunction whilst a patient is suspended in the sling you can bypass the electronics by pushing the emergency lowering button situated on the back of the chassis This will slowly lower the patient A If the emergency lowering function has been used and the reason is not obvious e g the plug of the hand control was not correctly inserted immediately take the XXL Lift out of work place a clearly visible note with the text Do NOT use NOT in working order on the XXL Lift If possible place the XXL Lift in quarantine and DO NOT use the XXL Lift again before it has been inspected repaired and released by a certified service technician 18 Cleaning amp Daily Inspection of the XXL Lift Clean the XXL Lift regularly using a cloth with a standard detergent Wipe dry with a dry cloth Do not use alcohol solvents acids or other abrasive agents Page 23 of 30 Daily Inspection All staff should be trained to do a brief check of the XXL Lift prior to each use of A N it The inspection should encompass the following e Make certain that there are no visible cracks in or deformations to the lifting arm the lifting mast the chassis the legs or the PowerTilt or 4 point spreader bar e Check that the lifting function the leg spreading function and the PowerTilt positioning function respond to the hand control e Check that the CompassDrive stars and runs as describ
