FORWARD
INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT
The ASPIRE A200S Stander has been
designed to stand and transfer human
patients with the assistance of one carer
or attendant.
All ASPIRE patient standers should ONLY
be used with Aidacare approved patient
slings, which have been chosen and
assessed by a competent trained health
professional. For a complete list of all
compliant lifting slings please contact
Aidacare on 1300 133 120.
IMPORTANT – only approved slings and
accessories are compatible with this
stander. If you are unsure please contact
Aidacare on 1300 133 120.
The correct and appropriate use of the
ASPIRE A200S Stander reduces the risks
associated with manual patient handling.
The transferring of patients should
always be assessed and planned by a
trained health professional.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
ALWAYS ensure that attendants have
read this guide before operating this
patient stander.
ALWAYS use slings that are assessed
and considered suitable by a trained
healthcare professional.
ALWAYS ensure the area around
the stander and patient is clear of
obstructions.
ALWAYS minimise the distance over
which the patient is being transferred by
positioning support surfaces as close as
possible.
DO NOT operate the stander without
training in the safe operation of standers
and slings. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT USE.

INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT
WARNING: DO NOT manually lift the
boom of the lifters.
How to Use Correctly:
The boom of the lifter is designed to be
lifted only by an electric actuator.
Aidacare Lifters and Standers do not
pull downwards during lowering. This
safety spline feature is designed to avoid
entrapment and crush injuries.
This safety feature means that it is
physically possible to raise the lifter
boom by hand on some models with
LA31 actuators fitted.
NEVER raise the lifter boom by hand or
any other means except under direct
drive from the electric actuator fitted to
the lifter.
Raising the boom can cause it to become
stuck in an elevated position. Under load
this can result in patient free fall and risk
catastrophic injury to the patient and/or
carer.
ALWAYS use the handset or control unit
buttons to raise and lower the boom of
the lifter. This will ensure correct and safe
functioning at all times.

Charging Dos & Don’ts:
ALWAYS
• Charge the battery whenever possible, to maximize battery life. Allowing batteries
to fully discharge can reduce the useful life of a battery.
• Always inspect all cables particularly the mains power cable on the charger for any
damage; replace if any signs of damage or wear are visible.
• Always stow the handset, charger and mains power cable when transporting the
stander to prevent loss and or damage.
• Always clean the actuators, control box, charger, battery and handset at regular
intervals to remove dust/dirt.
NEVER
• Never allow the battery to fully discharge before recharging. Allowing batteries to
fully discharge can reduce the useful life of a battery.
Castors
To engage the castor brake place
your foot on the brake pedal and apply
sucient downward force to move it into
the lock position.
Emergency Stop
To engage the emergency stop press the
red button located on the control unit until
it sits flush and remains in position.

7. STANDING GUIDE
It is important that carers are familiar with manual handling techniques along with
any sling instructions prior to completing any patient lifts. All patient’s should have
the correct sling and transfer techniques assessed by a qualified health professional.
Explaining the lift process to the patient is important to ensure patient comfort
and confidence and whenever possible two carers should conduct patient lifts for
additional safety.
1. Patient sling positioning
Ensure that the patient is ready and lean
them forward. Slide the sling down behind
the patient until the underarm pads are just
below the axilla (arm pit). Pull the straps and
loops through under the patient’s arms and
fasten the chest strap in place.
2. Attaching the sling to the yoke
Ensure that the stander legs are open to the
maximum width and slowly position it as
close to the front of the chair as possible –
be careful to keep the boom and yoke clear
of the patient during this process.
The patient’s feet should be positioned on
the foot platform shoulder width apart. The
patient should grip the yoke for stability.
Once the yoke is at chest height on the
patient the sling loops can be attached. For
chair lifts the rear brake castors should not
be used to ensure the stander can locate its
centre of gravity easily.
3. Lifting the patient
Raise the yoke until the loops of the sling
pull tight. Check that the patient is still
comfortable and that the sling is correctly
positioned. Raise the patient slowly until the
patient is in a standing position.

9. CARE & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the working life of the stander and for trouble free operation
it is recommended that periodic inspections should be performed
routinely by a person who is suitably qualified and well acquainted with
the design, use and care of patient standers.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the stander is jeopardized in any
way the stander should be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE,
tagged as such and the owner notified.
MAINTENANCE GUIDE & CHECK LIST
• Check castors are fastened securely to the frame
• Castors should run and swivel smoothly - if hair or other fibres have
built up within the castor this should be removed
• Check that the brakes on the rear castors function normally
• Clean surfaces with a pH neutral detergent - chlorine and phenol
based detergents should not be used as these may damage stander
components
• All moving parts and pivot points should be checked for fatigue and
lubricated if necessary
• All electrical components should be checked for normal function
including battery and battery charger
• The actuator shaft should only be wiped with a cloth. DO NOT
lubricate, contact Aidacare maintenance 1300 133 120.
AS A MINIMUM A FULL SERVICE SHOULD BE COMPLETED EVERY
6 MONTHS AND THE LOAD TEST EVERY 12 MONTHS TO MAINTAIN
WARRANTY.
ELECTRICAL TEST & TAG – WHERE LIFTERS ARE IN USE IN A
COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT THEN THE TESTING REGIME APPLIED
SHOULD ALIGN WITH THE RISK ASSESSMENT MADE BY THE OWNER
FOR SAFETY AND OTHER COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS.
TO MAINTAIN AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS COMPLIANCE UNDER AS
ISO 10535-2011 A FULL SWL TEST MUST BE COMPLETED EVERY 12
MONTHS.
