1 INTRODUCTION
Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant your
attention are included in this manual. Read the entire manual carefully before
operating your new LF1600 Stand Assist, keep it handy for future reference, and refer
to it as often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.
The Lumex Stand Assist is a manual standing aid that requires patients to assist
themselves in preparation for transport. Patients qualied to use the Stand Assist
must have adequate arm strength to pull themselves upward and enough leg
strength to support their own weight. Patients who meet these criteria and have
difculty walking will nd the Stand Assist a useful transport device. Functionally,
the Stand Assist is positioned between a traditional walker and a battery powered
sit-to-stand lift. The Stand Assist is a convenient toileting alternative to a wheelchair.
Once the resident has positioned themself on board, the split seat can be positioned
to allow the resident to sit comfortably while a caregiver performs the transport.
For residents lacking the strength to assist themselves, we recommend a battery
powered sit-to-stand lift.
The Stand Assist is capable of the following transfers when used according to the
instructions:
• Bedtochair/wheelchair
• Bed/chair/wheelchairtocommode
• Roomtoroom
The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to be used only
as basic guidelines. You may nd it necessary to develop your own methods for
safely solving frequently encountered challenges. Again, consult your professional
medical advisors for their recommendations about safety methods, and never
hesitate to ask for their assistance.
All information and specications in this manual are current at the time of printing.
INTENDED USE
The Lumex Stand Assist’s intended use is as a transport assistance unit.
Contraindication
The Lumex Stand Assist is intended for use by residents who have the strength
and stability to lift and support themselves. We recommend a battery powered
sit-to-stand lift for residents with limited strength and stability.
WARNING: Personal injury - this device is designed for transport
assistance of individuals between approximately 5'1" and 6'6"
(155 cm and 198 cm) in height. Ensure the LF1600 properly ts the
individual being transferred before use.

activities. Always consult your professional medical advisors to determine those
