Commode Transfer Guidelines - Invacare Kirilos Manuel D'utilisation

Invacare® Kirilos / Atlante

6.4.2 Commode Transfer Guidelines

The Invacare patient lift is NOT intended as a
transport device. If the bathroom facilities are
NOT near the bed or if the patient lift cannot be
easily maneuvered towards the commode, then the
patient MUST be transferred to a wheelchair and
transported to the bathroom facilities before using
the patient lift again to position the patient on a
standard commode.
The slings with commode openings are designed to
be used with either a commode chair or standard
commode.
Invacare recommends at least two (2) individuals
assist in transferring the patient onto and off of a
commode using this product.
1. Perform these steps when transferring to a commode in
addition to those in Lifting and Transferring the Patient
From a Bed.
2. Before transferring the patient, the patient lift should
be guided to the bathroom facilities to check that it can
be easily maneuvered towards the commode.

Slings to the Lift in the Lifting the Patient section in

5. Elevate the patient high enough to clear the commode
chair arms and have their weight supported by the
patient lift. Refer to Raising/Lowering the Lift in the
Usage section in the manual.
