Introduction:
The patent-pending Human Floor Lift (HFL) is a class of human lifts unlike any other available. This
family of products has been designed to assist individuals who have fallen to the floor and are unable
to get up without assistance. The rugged and reliable IndeeLift HFL is a purpose-built appliance made
in the USA with UL and ETL certified components and is available in either residential, commercial or
emergency services models.
The HFL-400-P/550-P are commercial grade Human Floor Lifts designed for professional health care
providers. These appliances are capable of lifting a person from the floor without risk of injury to the
caregiver or the patient. As a fall recovery appliance, the HFLs are extremely maneuverable and their
small footprint allows fall recovery to occur in even the tightest of places. The HFLs replace large and
cumbersome sling-style lifts, helping patients recover their feet quickly while greatly reducing the
associated risks.
Overview:
This manual covers the HFL- 400-P and the HFL-550-P. Both models provide the same basic features,
functions and operational characteristics with the exception of rated capacity (or as noted). The HFL-
400-P is engineered to lift a person of up to 400 pounds or 181kg. The HFL-550-P is engineered to lift
a person weighing up to 550 pounds or 250kg. They will be referred to as “HFLs” throughout this
manual.
The HFLs operating mechanism is a linear actuator powered by a 24V DC rechargeable battery pack
and operated with a wired remote control in a portable “roll-around” configuration. The HFL-400-P
and HFL-550-P are designed for professional health care providers including hospitals, assisted living
and Skilled Nursing facilities. These state-of-the-art products were developed specifically to eliminate
floor-lift related injuries to health care professionals and their fallen patients. Once up from the floor,
the patient can take a deep breath and rest comfortably until they are ready to stand up and walk
away or be directly transferred to a wheelchair.
IndeeLift is revolutionizing patient care by doing the heavy lifting so the caregiver doesn’t have to risk
injury to either party. Simply put, IndeeLift’s HFLs for professional healthcare eliminate injuries
related to fall recovery!

HFL Features/Functionality:
IndeeLift HFLs for professional healthcare are designed to meet the specifications and requirements
of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The raised-seat height was dictated by the need to
stand with minimal effort for the elderly and disabled. The ability to transfer directly to a wheelchair
is accomplished by setting the seat height at 21 inches which allows a height difference of 1-2 inches
for lift-free transfers to most wheelchairs.
Small Footprint and Easy Portability
The HFLs are portable lifts that are rolled around on wheels like a traditional dolly. Their small
footprint allows them to be positioned in many places other lifts simply cannot go. With a turning
radius of 30” (HFL-400-P) and 32” (HFL-550-P), the HFLs can go just about anywhere -- including all
ADA accessible bathrooms.
Mounting Ramp Seat
The HFLs patent-pending design includes a mounting ramp seat that eliminates the need to ever
"lift" a patient manually. With no complex cradles or harnesses to configure, the HFLs allow fall
recovery to be simple and quick. A person who has fallen can be up from the floor to a normal
seating position within one minute.
Wired Remote
The wired remote has a 10’ (3m) retractile cord allowing the care provider to operate the lift while
assisting the care recipient/patient onto the lift as necessary. The wired remote has graphics
indicating the up and down functionality. The wired remote is stored on the handle with the hanger
clip. NOTE: An audible alarm will occur when either control switch is depressed if the battery needs
to be charged.
Adjustable and/or Removable Rise-Assist Handles
The comfortable armrests have been engineered to operate as Rise-Assist Handles to provide
leverage for the seated party to assist in the process of standing once they are up from the floor.
The HFL-550-P includes width-adjustable Rise-Assist Handles to support almost all body sizes.
The armrest/handles adjust from 20 inches to 28 inches in width to accommodate large persons.
The Rise-Assist Handles are removable to allow a direct transfer to a wheelchair or other
destination. The HFL- 400-P also has removable Rise-Assist Handles which allow for direct
transfer to a wheelchair with no lifting or standing required.
Rechargeable Battery
The HFLs for professional healthcare come standard with a rechargeable battery pack and a built-in
charging system. The low-battery audible indicator alerts charging is required when either control
switch is pushed on the wired remote. The HFLs will operate at less-than-optimum performance
when in need of charging. Charging the HFL is accomplished by simply plugging it into a standard AC
power outlet. Charging is complete when the Charge Indicator goes out.

Operation:
Practice these procedures several times with a colleague playing the role of a fallen patient.
Ensure that any users are thoroughly familiar with the correct operation of the HFL before
they use it to assist an actual patient.
Standard Procedure:
1. Ensure the HFL’s Power Cord is disconnected and safely stored before movingthe unit from
its stored location.
2. Move the unit by placing one foot on the Foot Stop then slightly tilting the unit backwards by
slowing pulling the handle towards you. The HFL can be pulled or pushed to the location of
the fall. Note: Some manual doors dictate the need to pull the HFL through frombehind.
As you stop at the desired location, ensure there are no foreign objects beneath the
seat before tilting the unit back to the upright (operational) position.
NOTE: Never move the HFL with a person in the seat!
3. If necessary, adjust the width of the Rise-Assist Handles to fit the fallen patient’s form by
pulling on the spring loaded handle release knobs, moving the Rise-Assist Handles to one of
the three positions, then releasing the Handle Release Knobs.
NOTE: Ensure the Handle Release Knobs have snapped back into a fully locked position
before proceeding.

Operation (continued):
4. Position the HFL directly behind the fallen patient, with the Mounting Ramp Seat
positioned as close to the fallen patient’s buttocks as possible.
5. Have the fallen patient scoot themselves backwards into the Mounting Ramp Seat. NOTE: If
the fallen patient has difficulty scooting backwards onto the Mounting Ramp, skip to the
Mount Assist Procedure, starting on Page 9.
6. Once the fallen patient is fully seated to the rear of the HFL seat, instruct them to place their
hands on the seat handles and tell them you are about to raise the seat. Once they are ready,
press and hold the up button, as indicated by the arrow on the Wired Remote. The seat will
rise for approximately forty-five seconds and then stop.
Independently scooting onto the HFL
7. Once the Lift has stopped, the recovered patient can either stand right up, rest and then
stand up at their leisure, or transfer to a wheelchair or other destination for transport.
a) If returning the fallen patient to a standing position:
•Instruct the patient return to a standing position by using the Rise-Assist Handles as they
would normally get up from a chair with armrests. NOTE: Be prepared to assist the patient
as they rise from the seated position, if needed.
Standing up from the HFL
•If necessary, allow the patient to rest before proceeding.
•Once the fallen patient has been recovered, remember to return the seat to the fully

Operation (continued):
b) If transferring the fallen patient to a wheelchair:
The HFL is designed for the seat to stop in the up position, twenty one inches from the
floor. This height just exceeds the standard height of wheelchair seats to allow for a
gravity assisted transfer. Most wheelchairs will roll right up to the HFL seat on the most
convenient side.
•Raise the seated patient until the HFL stops.
•Determine which side is preferred for the transfer.
•Remove the Rise-Assist Handle on the appropriate side by pulling on the spring-loaded
handle-release knob and gently pulling the handle from its normalposition.
•Temporarily place the Rise-Assist Handle in a safe location (i.e., where it will not interfere
with the moving of the patient into the wheelchair).
•Position the wheelchair near the HFL, ensuring there is adequate room for the patient’s legs
during the transfer, then engage the wheelchair’s brake before the next step.
Direct transfer to a wheelchair
•Have the patient scoot themselves from the HFL’s seat to a fully seated position in the
wheelchair. NOTE: Be prepared to assist the patient as they transfer from the HFL to the
wheelchair, if needed.
•Disengage the wheelchair’s brake, move patient away from HFL seat, then replace the
Rise-Assist Handle on the appropriate side bypulling on the spring-loaded handle-
release knob and gently pushing the handle into its normalposition.
Return the seat to the fully downward (home) position before returning the HFL to its storage
location.
NOTES: Ensure there are no foreign objects beneath the unit before lowering the seat. When you
arrive at the storage location, remember to ensure there are no foreign objects beneath the unit
before tilting it back into the upright (storage) position.
