Safety Instructions
The equipment must be used in accordance
with these safety instructions. Anyone using
the equipment must also have read and
understood the instructions in this manual.
If there is anything you are not sure about,
contact your ArjoHuntleigh representative.
Intended use
This equipment is intended for lifting and transport-
ing residents to and from a bathroom in a care facility
and to assist with the bathing process. Calypso must
be used by appropriately trained caregivers with ade-
quate knowledge of the care environment, its com-
mon practices and procedures, and in accordance
with the guidelines in the Instructions for Use .
Resident assessment
We recommend that facilities establish regular
assessment routines. Caregivers should assess each
resident according to the following criteria prior to
use:
• The resident’s weight should not exceed 136kg /
300 lbs.
• The resident should be active or semi-active
(i.e. able to sit upright self supported on the side
of a bed or toilet).
• The resident should understand and respond to
instructions to stay seated in an upright position.
If a resident does not meet these criteria an alterna-
tive lift must be used.
The expected life time of this equipment, unless oth-
erwise stated, is ten (10) years, subject to preventa-
tive maintenance being carried out in accordance
with the instructions for care and maintenance found
in this manual.
NOTE
Modifications made to the equipment with-
out expressed written consent of Arjo-
Huntleigh will invalidate the supplier's prod-
uct liability.
WARNING
Never leave the resident unattended
at any time. Ensure that the resident
does not pull or hold on to stable
objects such as grab rails, sinks and
other equipment at any time.
WARNING
Make sure Calypso is completely
clear of all other surrounding
devices, baths and furniture when
the resident and/or the lift are being
raised or lowered. Make sure
Calypso is at least 30 cm (1 foot)
away from the bath tub.
WARNING
The safety belt must be used at all
times to make sure the resident
remains in an upright position in the
middle of the seat. The safety belt
must be attached to the seat of
Calypso on the same side as the
back rest and securely buckled.
WARNING
Before lifting Calypso out of the
water after a bath, re-position the
resident if needed to ensure that the
resident is sitting upright in the cen-
tre of the chair!
NOTE
All materials used in Calypso lift and
hygiene chair complies with established
biocompability standards and have been
tested accordingly (ISO 10993-5).

and back rest is PUR (polyurethane)
