4. Overview
The Oxford Transaid 130 consists of the following components:
Seat:
The Transaid is equipped with a black plastic seat. To install the seat, pull the two seat support tubes out fully
and place the seat (with grooves facing downwards) on top of the seat support tubes. The carry handle slot
should be on the outside edge.
Footplate:
The footplate is equipped with a non-slip layer to prevent the patient’s feet from moving during the standing
and transfer process.
Back support:
The Transaid has a detachable back support (inside width 49.5cm). It is designed to provide reassurance for the
patient during the transfer and encourage them to sit in an upright position. The back support should always be
in the transfer position when transferring the patient.
Castors:
The Oxford Transaid has six castors. Four castors on the front of the device and two larger braked castors positioned
at the rear. To prevent the Oxford Transaid from moving unintentionally, apply the brake on the rear castors.

5. Operating Instructions
Prior to using the Oxford Transaid 130, check and confirm the following:
• Is the back support in the correct position?
• Can the seat support tubes move freely?
• Do all the castors rotate freely?
• Ensure the patient’s weight does not exceed the safe working load of 130kg.
• Ensure the working environment is clean and tidy.
Instructions for use:
Step 1 Position the Oxford Transaid directly in front of the patient where they are sitting (see Fig. 4).
Step 2 With the back support in the storage position, instruct the patient to place their feet centrally on
top of the footplate. Assist the patient if necessary. Now apply the brakes on the rear castors.
Step 3 Ask the patient to lean forward, then pull themselves up into the standing position (see Fig. 5).
Ensure the caregiver is close at hand to provide support if required.
NOTE: Ensure the patient does not over-extend when trying to stand. If necessary (prior to the patient
standing), carefully re-position theTransaid so the patient can achieve a more comfortable standing
position.

Step 4 When the patient is in the standing position, extend the two seat support tubes out fully from their
storage position (see Fig. 5).
NOTE: If the seat support tubes cannot be fully extended, no transfer must take place as the seat

Step 5 Removetheseatfromitsstoragepositionandplacermlyontopoftheseatsupporttubes(seeFig.5) 
with grooves facing downwards, ensuring that the carry handle slot is on the outside edge.
NOTE: The seat support tubes must be fully extended.
Step 6 Insert the back support into the locating holes in the Transfer position. Make sure the back support is
fully inserted into the locating holes (no bare metal should be showing), then ask the patient to sit
down on the seat (see Fig. 6).
NOTE: The back support will prevent the patient from falling backwards during transfer.
Step 7 Prior to commencing transfer, ensure the patient is holding onto either the back support or front
grab rail. Unlock the rear castors and transfer the patient to the desired location (i.e. chair/toilet/bed
or shower). Carefully manoeuvre the Transaid into position as close to the chair, bed or shower as
possible or over the toilet, then apply the brakes on the rear castors.
NOTE: Ensure there are no inclines or declines exceeding 5 degrees during transfer.
Step 8 Instruct the patient to lean forward slightly, hold onto the grab rail and assume a standing position.
When the patient is fully standing, remove the seat and return to its storage position within the
retaining clips. Remove the back support, then slide the seat support tubes back fully into their
tube housings.
Step 9 Instruct the patient to then carefully sit down onto the chair/toilet/bed or shower seat whilst holding
onto the front grab rail. Once the patient is safely re-seated and the transfer is complete, carefully
move the Transaid away from the patient.
The Transaid can now be stored or re-used for further transfers.
