Hillrom Liko Ultra Series User manual

Product Descripon
Liing heavy paents requires special liing techniques
and specially designed liing accessories. UltraTwin is the
name of Liko’s system for liing up to 500 kg (1100 lbs).
The system is based on the use of two LikorallTM li motors
working together which also allows individual maneuvering
that is helpful in posioning of the paent to upright,
semi-reclined or lying posion. Ultra Twist is an accessory
to the UltraTwin system, which facilitates 360° rotaon of
the paent and gives great advantage to transfers from bed,
liing to gurney, ambulaon or when used in conned spaces
etc. Ultra Twist is available in two versions (Wide and Slim), to
suit dierent liing needs.
In this document, the person being transferred is referred to as the paent and the person helping them is referred to as the
caregiver.
UltraTwist Slim and UltraTwist Wide can be used with
sling bars for transfers in seated posion, e.g. between bed
and wheelchair or to/from the toilet. UltraTwist Wide can also
be used with stretchers for horizontal transfers of the paent,
e.g., in surgery or X-ray situaons.
For liing of heavy paents Liko oers a wide range of specially
designed liing accessories.
Ultra Control Unit can be used with LikorallTM li motors. It is
used for simplied maneuvering with one hand control when
combining two li motors installed in separate rails.

IMPORTANT!
Liing and transferring a paent always involves a certain level of risk. Read the instrucons for use for both the paent
li and liing accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the instrucons for use.
The equipment should only be used by trained personnel. Ensure that the liing accessories are suitable for the li used.
Exercise care and cauon during use. As a caregiver, you are always responsible for the paent’s safety. You must be aware
of the paent’s ability to make it through the liing situaon. If something is unclear, contact the manufacturer or supplier.

Safety Instrucons
Before liing, keep the following points in mind:
• liing accessories are properly connected to the li;
• the correct liing accessory has been chosen, with respect to the type, size, material and design in relaon to the
needs of the paent.
• plan the liing and transfer operaon carefully, so the paent is as comfortable and secure as possible;
• idenfy which of the li motors is controlled with the single arrows on the hand control. Make sure that this motor li at the
head end of a stretcher (marked with a head symbol), alternavely, the wider of the two sling bars;
• ensure that wheels/castors on the bed, gurney, etc. are locked during the liing operaon;
• the li strap is not twisted or worn and can be run freely in and out of the li motor;
• liing accessories are not damaged;
• the sling/li sheet is correctly and securely applied to the paent, so that there is no risk of personal injury
• the liing accessory is correctly applied to the li;
• the sling’s/li sheet’s strap loops are correctly applied to the sling bar hooks when the sling’s/li sheet’s straps are
extended, but before the paent is lied from the underlying surface.
Never leave a paent unaended during a transfer situaon!
Incorrect aachment of sling to slingbar may cause severe injury to the paent!
UltraTwist must always be assembled by an authorized technician; see current installaon instrucons.

UltraTwist Slim and Ultra Control Unit– liing in a seated posion
For this combinaon we recommend two Universal Slingbar 600 (Prod. No. 3156086) or Universal SlingBar 450
(Prod. No. 3156085) together with Universal SlingBar 600 (Prod. No. 3156086). If you use slingbars with two dierent
widths, the wider of the two sling bars is intended for use with the sling’s upper strap loops and the narrower sling bar
is to be used with the leg support´s strap loops.

Controls one of the li motors: Up Down
Charging
The li motor baeries are charged via the hand control. One baery charger (accessory) is sucient for the enre system if
HandControl UT is used. For complete charging instrucons, see the instrucon for use for the respecve li motor.
Recommended Liing Accessories
Using liing accessories other than those approved can entail a risk.
Below, we present recommended sling bars and accessories for use with Ultra Li systems.

Before starng the liing operaon it is important to ensure that the sling bars are properly connected to the li
motor´s li straps. Below, we illustrate a transfer from bed to wheelchair using Original HighBack Sling Mod. 200 alt. 26.
From bed to chair/wheelchair with UltraTwist Slim and UltraControl Unit
1. Apply the sling as described in the instrucon for use.
Before the paent is lied from the underlying
surface, but when the straps are properly extended, it is
important to ensure that the straps are correctly aached
to the sling bars. In conjuncon with liing, use the bed’s
raising and lowering funcons.
For advice on how to regulate the paent’s sing
posture, see below.
Load must be applied to all four hooks during liing.
2. Placement of the paent in a chair is facilitated by
UltraTwist’s rotaon funcon. Grasp the sling bars, sling
and/or the paent’s legs/knees and rotate to
the desired posion.
Note! Rotaon funcon not applicable for Ultra Control
Unit. Plan li accordingly.
3. Guide the paent toward the chair. Lower the paent.
By raising or lowering only one of the two li strap´s you may adjust the paent in posion for a comfortable and secure
transfer. Seat the paent in a more upright posion (A) when transferring to a chair, and seat the paent in a more reclined
posture (B) when transferring to a bed. The paent’s sing posture is manouvered via the lower buons (single arrows) on
the HandControl UT, or with the hand control that manouvers the li motor which lis the upper body.
Adjusng the paent’s sing posture (leaning in a seated posion)
When liing, always li with both li motor´s!

From bed to chair/wheelchair with UltraTwist Wide
Before starng the liing operaon it is important to ensure that the sling bars are properly connected to each li motor´s li
strap. Recommended sling bars for UltraTwist Wide: Universal SlingBar 600 and Universal SlingBar 450. Universal SlingBar 600
is intended for the sling’s upper strap loops and is connected to the li strap that is manouvered via the lower buons on the
hand control. Universal SlingBar 450 is intended for the leg support´s strap loops. Below, we illustrate a transfer from bed to

Lifting with a stretcher on UltraTwist Wide
UltraTwist Wide should be used when liing with a stretcher. We recommend the use of UltraStretch (see page 6). Below,
liing with UltraStretch and LiSheet XL is illustrated. Carefully study the instrucon for use for the accessories used.
1. Apply the li sheet as described in the instrucon for
use. Guide the UltraStretch over the paent and lower
to about half a metre above the bed. Hang all of the
strap loops on the stretcher. Note that the stretcher
has a head end and a foot end (see marking with head
symbol).
Ensure that all strap loops are properly hooked
when the straps are extended but before the paent is
lied from the underlying surface.
2. During liing, check to ensure that the paent is
resng in the desired posion: fully prone or with
the head slightly higher. If necessary, this can be
regulated by raising or lowering one of the li
motors.
UltraTwist Wide can rotate 360 ° . This is a great advantage if you
need to change bedding, li to a stretcher or when liing in
conned spaces. Grasp the stretcher and rotate the paent to
the desired posion.
When liing, always li with both li motor´s!

Inspecon and Maintenance
For trouble-free use, certain details should be checked each day the li is used:
• Check the li system for any signs of external damage.
• Check carriage funcon.
• Check the sling bar’s/stretcher’s Quick-release Hook safety funcon.
• Ensure that all screws are ghtened.
When necessary, clean the li with a moist cloth, using warm water or disinfectant. NOTE! Do not use cleaning agents that
contain phenol or chlorine, since these can damage aluminium and plasc materials.
The li should not be exposed to running water.
