Warnings and safety instructions
This user manual contains important safety information regarding the use of the
Poweo® Nursing patient lifters. Please read carefully this manual before using the
patient lifter for the first time.
This user manual concerns the Poweo® Nursing in its standard versions, reference S11010 or
S11011; where 010 or 011 depends on the equipment: with or without display in the control box.
The Poweo® Nursing should be used by a trained staff only.
The Poweo® Nursing must be serviced by qualified personnel only and using only original
parts.
The Poweo® Nursing is designed and engineered to safely transfer patients up to 180 kg.
Beyond this weight, do not use the Poweo® Nursing: call SCALEO Medical or your
distributor, who will offer you the most suitable patient lifter for your needs.
When the Poweo® Nursing is equipped with a Scalis® scale, the maximum safety load is
reduced to 160kg. Because the Scalis® scale is calibrated for a maximum load of 160 kg
the scale will display an error message: « > Max! » in the case of an overload.
The Poweo® Nursing is not intended to be used with a rigid stretcher: the installation of a
device instead of a flexible sling would alter the stability of the lift and may cause the
patient to fall.
In order to use the Poweo® accessories: Scalis® weighing system, transfer slings, please
refer to their specific user manuals.
Poweo® Nursing is not intended for use in balneotherapy, as salty or chlorinated mists
may rapidly degrade the device, rendering it inoperative or hazardous.
The recommended slings are specifically developed by SCALEO Medical for the Poweo®
Nursing 4-point suspension. It is inadvisable to use slings from other manufacturers. If
you want to use slings from other manufacturers under your responsibility, require proof

4 DOMU096_EN_8_20221205_Poweo® Nursing user manual
of compatibility and test them before using it with a patient. SCALEO Medical cannot be
held responsible for any incident that occurs following the use of non-recommended
slings.
The slings are to be used to lift and transfer people. Never use the patient lifters to lift or
to carry objects.
Avoid transferring patients on thick carpeted floors. Ragged surfaces and obstacles may
block the wheels. If the force is too important, the lifter could be destabilized and can tip
over, especially if the lifter is being used at its maximum weight capacity. If this situation
cannot be avoided, open the legs of the hoist before starting the transfer.
The Poweo® Nursing must NEVER be used to transfer, lift or transport people over slopes.
The maximum load can be lifted while using the engine non-stop for approximately 1
minute. The delay between 2 lifts at maximum capacity should be of around 10 minutes
in order to allow the engine to cool down.
The Poweo® Nursing is not a transport device. It must be used exclusively for short
distance transfers. It is not intended to replace wheelchairs or other means of
transportation.
This user manual is intended for users of the Poweo® Nursing patient lifters and must not be
communicated or made available to any third party without the prior written permission of SCALEO
Medical.
The first Poweo® Nursing was commercialized on September 7th, 2017.
