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 Protekt®
Dash Standing Transfer 32500, keep it handy for future reference, and refer to it as often as
necessary to help maintain good performance standards.
The Protekt® Dash Standing Transfer is a manual standing aid that requires patients to assist
themselves in preparation for transport. Patients qualified to use the Standing Transfer 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 difficulty walking will find the Standing
Transfer a useful transport device. Functionally, the Standing Transfer is positioned between a
traditional walker and a battery powered sit-to-stand lift. The Standing Transfer is a convenient
toileting alternative to a wheelchair. Once the resident has positioned themselves 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 Protekt® Dash 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 find 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.
INTENDED USE
The Standing Transfer's intended use is as a transport assistance unit.
Contraindication
The Protekt® Dash Standing Transfer 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. Verify this information on the individual being transferred before use.
