MDS400SA 400 lb (181 kg) Stand Assist

MDS600SA 600 lb (272 kg) Stand Assist

Points to remember when using:

• Always requires at least 1 caregiver.

• Choose a lift that has a variety

of sling sizes, lift-height range,

battery portability, hand-held control,

emergency shut-off, and manual

override.

• Ensure the lifting device is in good

working order before use and is

rated for the load weight to be lifted.

• Battery-powered lifts are preferred

to crank or pump type devices to allow

a smoother movement for the resident,

less physical exertion, and risk of

musculoskeletal injury to the caregiver.
