Product Description
Intended Use
The Protekt® STS Compact 500 34500-COM allows the patient
to be lifted and transferred safely with minimal physical effort
provided by the operator. The 34500-COM uses an electric
actuator to lift patients weighing up to 500lbs from a sitting to a
standing position from either a bed or a chair for transferring.
The lift has a standing platform to be used while transferring
patient from one surface to another, also included is a
cushioned knee pad for additional comfort and support while
patient is being transferred. The 34500-COM has a compact
base for maneuvering easily while still providing a wide lifting
range. The 34500-COM is compatible with the stand assist
sling and sani-sling with the option to add the knee and
buttocks support straps.
The 34500-COM is intended for patients who are lacking leg
strength in their lower extremities but are still able to bear
weight. The 34500-COM is intended to assist with standing
from a seated position while using the commode, changing
clothes and/or to relieve pressure. The 34500-COM is intended
to have one caregiver operate the lift to perform the transfer.
Transfers are intended to be performed on a flat, dry surface
and lifts are not to be used in high humidity environments for
extended periods of time.

in following condition range:
• -25°C to +5°C (-13°F to 41°F), and
• +5°C to +35°C (41°F to 95°F) at a non-condensing relative humidity 0% to 90%
• +35°C to +70°C at a water vapor pressure up to 5 kPa
For optimum performance,the lift should be operated in following condition
range:
• at a temperature range of +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F)
• at a non-condensing relative humidity range of 15 % to 90 %, but not requiring a
water vapor partial pressure greater than 5 kPa
• 70 kPa to 106 kPa atmospheric pressure
The lift will not have any potential electromagnetic or other interference with
other devices.
PREPARATION BEFORE LIFTING
