Warnings for healthcare professionals
• Physipro recommends that you follow the instructions provided in this manual and
familiarize yourself with the Simulator's operating instructions before beginning a
client's assessment.
• Physipro recommends that the positioning belt be buckled when a client is seated
in the Simulator.
• Always engage wheel locks when an individual is left alone in the Simulator.
• Always maintain a good posture when lifting or tilting the Simulator. Remember
to keep your back straight and to bend your knees when lifting.
WARNING
Failure to observe these warnings and precautions increases the risk of
losing control of the Simulator, which may result in serious injury to the
client or other individuals and may damage the assessment wheelchair.
Transfers
To safely transfer client from one surface to another, the following procedure should
be followed.
1. Position the Simulator as close as possible to
the transfer surface, with the front caster
wheels pointed forward.
2. Immobilize the Simulator by engaging wheel
locks.
3. Remove the footrest and ask the client to
place their feet on the ground.
4. Remove or swing away the armrest that is
located on the side of the intended transfer.
5. Transfer the client.
WARNINGS
Be aware that during the transfer there is a moment when the Simulator
•
is no longer underneath the client.
The client should never use the footrest as a platform during a transfer or
•
when attempting to lift themselves, as this may cause the Simulator to
tip forward, potentially resulting in serious injury and damage to the chair.
Note - The use of a transfer board is
recommended to ensure the user's safety.
