Liko™ SafetyVest™ Mod. 93
Instrucons for Use
Product Descripon
The Liko SafetyVest is mainly intended for use in combinaon
with the Sabina™ sit-to-stand li with a narrow sling bar
(Sabina 350 SlingBar).
In combinaon with Sabina sit-to-stand li, the SafetyVest
forms a funconal unit. For complete informaon and best
results, read the instrucon for use for both products.
A complete understanding of the contents of these instrucon
for use is essenal, and the equipment should only be used
by sta who are fully informed.
The Liko SafetyVest is a sit-to-stand vest that is designed to li
around the back and under the arms. The inside is lined with
a material that is intended to prevent the vest from sliding up
on the body. The waist belt, which is sewn to the vest, helps to
avoid the risk of a paent sliding out of the sit-to-stand vest.
You must use a combinaon of two loops on each hook when
aaching the sling to the li.
The Liko SafetyVest is available in several dierent sizes.
In this document, the person being lied is referred to as the paent, and the person helping is referred to as the caregiver.
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.

Before liing, keep the following points in mind:
• A responsible person within your organizaon should decide on a case-by-case basis whether one or more caregivers are
needed.
• Ensure that the sling selected meets the paent’s needs with reference to model, size, fabric and design.
• For safety and hygiene reasons, use individual slings.
• Plan the liing operaon so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.
• Although the Liko sling bars are equipped with latches, special cauon must be exercised. Before the paent is lied from
the underlying surface, but when the straps are fully extended, make sure the straps are correctly connected to the sling
bar hooks.
• The height to which the lift should proceed varies from person to person
• Never leave a paent unaended during a liing situaon.
• Make sure that the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney, etc., are locked during the liing/transfer operaon.
• Always work ergonomically. Use the paent’s ability to acvely parcipate in the operaons.

Outer Vest Straps
Descripon of Vest Strap Funcon
The outer vest is equipped with two vest straps: outer and
inner strap, for maximum exibility during use. Generally, you
should use the inner strap (A) to achieve a maximum upright
stance. The outer strap (B) is used when the paent’s girth so
requires it, or if the paent is short in relaon to the height of
the sling bar hooks on the Sabina sit-to-stand li.
In cases where the inner strap is used, we recommend that
you also hook the outer strap to the li in order to have beer
visual control of the straps.

How high should the paent be
lied?
The height a paent is lied should
be determined from case to case.
The maximum stand-up height can
be regulated as follows.
A Adjust the Sabina sit-to-stand li
base for the liing height. See the
Sabina sit-to-stand li instrucon
for use.
BSelect either the inner or the
outer strap on the outer vest. See
page 5:
Outer vest straps.
Raising: Maneuver the li by pressing
the up and down buons (two possible
speeds). The paent should, if possible,
parcipate by grasping the sling bar and
pulling himself/herself upwards.
Hint! We recommend that paents
lean the upper body back somewhat,
to compensate for weak muscles in the
lower body. This facilitates standing,
enhances comfort and prevents the vest
from sliding upward.
Hint! Remember, the raising procedure
is easier if the paent sits relavely
high, i.e., with the hip joints at the same
or a somewhat higher level than the
knees.
Determine which of the straps should
be hooked to the li by pulling (straight
forward) on the outer vest straps and
loop straps simultaneously (see diagram
of loop straps, page 5: Loop straps).
Try to achieve opmal t around the
abdomen by using a conguraon that
enables equal tension on the vest straps
and loop straps as they ghten while the
paent stands.
Posion Sabina sit-to-stand li and
adjust the width of the base, so that the
paent’s feet can be centered on the
footrest. The lower legs (below the knees)
should be parallel to the lower-leg pad on
the li. Adjust the horizontal and vercal
posion of the pad for comfortable
resistance just below the kneecaps.
Aach and ghten the strap around the
lower legs.
Now you are ready to aach the loop
straps and vest straps (which you have
tested according to the above) to the
slingbar.
Pull on the straps to check the tension.
If the waist belt does not tighten
suciently, change the threading of the
loop straps.
Cross the loop straps and thread them
through the D-rings on the opposite sides.
See descripon on page 7 for dierent
ng alternaves.
Slide the SafetyVest down behind the
paent to waist level. The lower edge of
the waist belt should be farthest down
and be placed closest to the body with
the paent’s arms outside the vest and
the waist belt.

Dierent Loop-strap Threading Alternaves
Hint!
To further increase the width, the loop straps can be used
together with Liko Extension Loops.
Alt. C: For large paents
Thread the loop straps through both the inner and both
outer strap guides before threading them through the metal
D-rings.
Alt. B: For average paents
Remove only one of the loop straps from an inner strap
guide. Then cross the loop straps and thread them through
the metal D-rings.
Alt. A: For very thin paents
Remove the loop straps from the inner strap guides before
threading them through the metal D-rings. This enables the
ghtest t.
Accessories
Sabina™ SeatStrap Prod. No. 3591115
In some cases, a SeatStrap may be used to assist liing. The SeatStrap is
guided down towards the caudal vertebra as far as possible. This helps to
li from under the buocks. When an upright stance has been achieved,
load is relieved from the SeatStrap and it can be easily moved aside, e.g.,
during visits to the lavatory. When lowering to a sing posion, it may
be appropriate to remove the SeatStrap so that the paent can sit farther
back in the chair.
When using the SeatStrap, a special accessory must be aached to the li:
the SeatStrap SlingBar. Make sure to thoroughly study the instrucon for
use for the SeatStrap before using it.
