Operating Instructions of Joerns Hoyer Lift 6-Point Cradle with Scale

1. Leg adjustment: The legs on the Hoyer Presence are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating narrow doorways and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position. Electric leg adjustment - is achieved by pressing the appropriate buttons on the hand control. The legs will be locked whenever the hand control switch is released
2. Castors and Braking: The lift has two braked castors which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the castors should be left free and un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to the centre of gravity of the lift. If the brakes are applied it is the patient that will swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable
3. Raising and lowering the boom: The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator, which is controlled by a simple hand control unit. The hand control has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a socket at the base of the control box. There is a hook on the rear of the hand control, which allows it to be "parked" on the mast or boom when not in use
4. Emergency Stop: The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the front of the control box and is activated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting the button counter clockwise and releasing
5. Redundant controls: All Hoyer lifts are fitted with raise and lower buttons on the control box. These are located underneath the emergency stop button and can be used to lower/raise the patient should the hand control fail
6. Mechanical Emergency Down: In the case of a complete electrical failure the electrical actuator is fitted with a mechanical lowering device (RED BOSS). Dependent on your lift, the device is either pulled upwards, or twisted by hand to activate. A slow decent will commence. Repeat this process until the patient has been safely lowered.
7. Batteries: The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will sound when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being operated. It will not sound independently of the hand control being operated. CAUTION: DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM. Complete the lifting operation and place the lift on charge (see charging instructions)
8. Slings:The Hoyer Presence has the option of both a 6-point spreader bar and a 4-point positioning cradle. Both systems use different attachment methods and slings. The 6-point system uses slings with webbing loops, which allow positioning adjustment by selecting different coloured loops. The 6-point system attaches to the spreader bar hooks via loop straps (shown below), each sling is supplied with instructions.

FAQs

What is a 6-point cradle?

A 6-point cradle is a type of attachment used on a Hoyer lift that supports the patient's weight at six different points, evenly distributing their weight and reducing the risk of injury during the transfer. The cradle is designed to work with a compatible sling to provide a secure and comfortable transfer for the patient.

Can it be used in a home setting?

Yes, it can be used in a home setting as well as in healthcare facilities. It is important to ensure that the lift is properly assembled and used according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the safety of both the patient and the caregiver.

How do I clean and maintain it?

• To clean the Hoyer lift, wipe down the frame and cradle/sling with a damp cloth and mild detergent
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents
• The lift should be inspected regularly for any signs of wear or damage, and any damaged parts should be replaced immediately
• It is also important to periodically check and calibrate the scale to ensure accurate weight measurements
