ELITE

WELCOME
The MUV
™
ELITE is a safe patient handling system utilized by persons in an
operating room or other hospital or clinical environment for the transfer of
patients from an operating table to a gurney or other lateral-to-lateral surfaces,
such as table to recovery bed or cath lab table to gurney.
The MUV
™
ELITE may be ordered with the MUV
™
SlimLine, for wall mount
installation.
The Multi-Purpose PAD (MP PAD) is intended for use as a single-use transfer
sheet that attaches and loads into the MUV
™
ELITE and works as a post-
transfer absorbent pad.
The SlimLine houses the MUV
™
ELITE and the Multi-Purpose PADs in a
convenient location for use by healthcare providers.

SYSTEM SETUP
1.1 PREP THE MUV™ELITE
Place the MUV™ELITE on the bed surface where the patient will be completing the bed-to-
bed transfer. Ensure the belt spins freely by centering the belt. Use one
Multi-Purpose
PAD stored in the
integrated dispenser on the SlimLine.
1.2 REMOVE ADHESIVE BACKING
Remove the two protective strips from the top of the
Multi-Purpose PAD to expose the
adhesive. The protective strips are located on the green side of each
MP PAD.
1.3 APPLY MULTI-PURPOSE PAD TO BELT
Hold the
Multi-Purpose PAD by the top corners, adjacent to where the adhesive strips
are exposed. On the belt are green graphics to aid
MP PAD alignment. Use these green
graphics as guides during attachment to the belt (Figs. 6.1 & 6.2.)
1.4 LOAD
Push the
MP PAD forward to engage the belt. As you push the MP PAD forward, the MP
PAD will feed through the MUV™ELITE housing. Continue advancing the belt forward until
the MP PAD and belt completes one full rotation. The ELITE is now ready for use.

SYSTEM USE
2.1 POSITION PATIENT ON BED
After loading the MUV™ELITE with the Multi-Purpose PAD, roll the patient to a lateral
recumbent position facing away from you (Fig 8.1). Manage and clear cables, tubes, and
monitoring equipment before placing the MUV™ELITE.
2.2 PLACE MUV™ELITE
Place the leading edge of the MUV™ELITE under approximately 2/3 of the patient’s back
(Fig. 8.1). Each leading edge has the MUV™logo on it. The MUV™ELITE serves as a bridge
between the two lateral surfaces.
2.3 POSITION PATIENT ON BOARD
Gently roll the patient’s back onto the MUV™ELITE (Fig. 8.2).
2.4 TRANSFER STAFF TEAM MEMBER ROLES
Team member 1 engages the MUV™ELITE by pushing the patient across the MUV™ELITE.
Team member 2 guides the MP PAD to the second bed in a continuous motion (Fig. 8.2).
Allow the MUV™ELITE to do the work of the transfer. Team member 3 guides the feet, while
a fourth team member (not pictured) manages the patient’s head and airway.
2.5 COMPLETE THE TRANSFER
The patient completes the transfer when he or she is on the second lateral surface. The MP
PAD stays beneath the patient. No further patient manipulation should be required.
2.6 REMOVE MULTI-PURPOSE PAD FROM MUV™ELITE
Detach the MP PAD by pulling the MUV™ELITE away from the patient. (In the event the
patient is still partially on the MUV™ELITE following the transfer, simply tip the MUV™ELITE
and pull from under the patient. Always be aware of abrasions or skin integrity issues
related to any patient transfer.) When soiled or medically indicated, or as otherwise dictated
by your facility’s policies, discard the MP PAD in the appropriate receptacle as medical
waste.

TECHNICAL SERVICE & CARE
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
The MUV™System should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. Use germicidal
wipes containing 0.55% sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or other regularly accepted cleaning
reagents/chemicals appropriate for use in a healthcare setting.
CLEANING is the removal of visible dirt and debris, but does not reduce the risk for
transmission of infectious diseases. The MUV™ELITE should be cleaned after each use.
DISINFECTING, if performed properly, reduces the risk of transmitting infectious
diseases. The MUV™ELITE should be disinfected after each use, including the deck, if
indicated. For proper disinfection, you should keep all surfaces wet for at least 60 seconds.
WARNING:Always wash your hands well with soap and water before and after handling
any MUV™System component. Each member assisting with the transport of the patient
using the MUV™System should adhere to standard personal protective measures in
compliance with hospital, clinic or facility policy.
The cleaning and disinfecting directions provided will not cause any damage or
degradation to the MUV™ELITE.
Please contact the manufacturer for assistance if your device malfunctions for any cause,
or if you notice any changes in the functionality or appearance of the MUV™ELITE due to
use or cleaning/disinfection.
Do not drop the MUV™ELITE as it may damage the MUV™ELITE, or components of the
MUV™ELITE, and render it unsafe for use with patients. Always store Multi-Purpose PADs
in the designated receptacle to ensure they are conveniently available and clean.

TO DEEP CLEAN THE MUV™ELITE WHEN INDICATED
1. Lay the MUV™ ELITE on a at surface.
2. To access the deck and belt assembly for deep cleaning when contaminated or dirty,
depress the two release mechanisms inward. The release mechanisms are located
under the belt at the center of the short ends of the deck. (The deck should not
require routine removal.)
3. Gently lift up on the deck to remove it for cleaning or service. (Dropping may damage
the deck.)
4. To return the deck to the housing, depress the two green release mechanisms and
return the deck to the housing. Two pins on each of release mechanism will lock into
two round sockets on each side of the MUV™ELITE housing when you release the
green handles.
TO REMOVE OR REPLACE THE MUV™ ELITE BELT
5. Remove the deck from the housing by following steps 1 and 2 above.
6. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove Belt Guards A and B on one end of the deck as
shown in Fig. 11-1. Each Belt Guard is held in place by a single screw.
Fig. 11-1
7. Slide the belt off the deck to deep clean the deck and rollers or to replace the belt.
8. Replace the belt and re-attach the Deck Guards by reversing step 7, using care to
avoid over-tightening the screws.
