WAYUP 4 with
electrical-opening legs
The stand-up lift WAYUP 4 with electrical-opening legs is an active class I medical device according
to the EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC Appendix IX. It can be employed in all areas of care work and
is intended for use by caregivers properly instructed in its operation.
It is intended for short-term use not involving contact with injured skin and requires the use of a suitable
sling.
The stand-up lift Wayup 4 with electrical-opening legs may be used for patients weighing up to a
maximum weight of 150 kg.
The stand-up lift Wayup 4 with electrical-opening legs is only suitable for driving short distances within
the patient’s residence or area of activity on one floor. It must only be used on an even, horizontal
floor.
The climatic conditions must be an ambient temperature of 0°C to 40°C, humidity of 20% to 80%, air
pressure of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa and in the range of normally composed atmospheric air. It is permitted
to be used in wet areas. For example, this includes the toilet or the bath. This does not include using
the patient hoist under the shower.
The stand-up lift Wayup 4 with electrical-opening legs is not explosion protected and is not permitted
to be used in potentially explosive areas.
Clinical pictures such as osteogenesis imperfecta, osteoporosis or spinal column damage, as well as
mental disorientation or epileptic seizures can represent contraindications.
The stand-up lift Wayup 4 with electrical-opening legs is only permitted to be used after careful consi-
deration of the individual patient by the doctor and the care personnel.
Standard stand-up lift
In the standard stand-up lift version the Wayup 4 with electrical-opening legs is solely to be used for
lifting and transferring a patient in a suitable sling. This is usually performed with the patient in a seated
position.
Active stand-up lift
In the active stand-up lift version, the Wayup 4 with electrical-opening legs is solely to be used to assist
a patient from a seated position to a standing position and then transfer them in a suitable sling. It
serves as an aid to the natural movement of standing up and sitting down and can be driven with the
patient standing up so that they may still go to the toilet independently for example. Additionally, the
patient’s participation stimulates its residual mobility by strengthening his circulation and musculature.
The use of the active stand-up lift requires the active participation of the patient. The ability to hold on
to the lifting arm tightly is particularly important. Missing limbs or functional limitations of the musculos-
keletal system (e.g., paraplegia) can limit or rule out the use of an active hoist. This must be decided
by the operator on a case-by-case basis.
