Chiltern Invadex Overhead Hoist
Intended Use of the Product The Wispa hoist has been designed to lift and transfer a less able person with the help of a carer. It should be used with a Wispa sling or other lifting accessories from the Chiltern Invadex range, as assessed by a trained person. Note: Not all slings and accessories are compatible with this hoist. If you are unsure please contact your nearest Chiltern Invadex regional office. The correct and appropriate use of this product will reduce the risks associated with manual patient handling. The lifting/transferring task should be assessed and planned by a trained person.

Ensure that all users read this guide before operating the hoist. Do not operate the Overhead Hoist without training in the safe operation of the hoist and slings. Only use slings which have been assessed as suitable by a competent person. Read the relevant Sling User Guide, which is provided with each sling. It explains in detail how to use slings correctly. Do not use the hoist if there is any doubt about wear to the carry bar or there is fraying or stitch damage to the lifting tape or slings, or if the hoist itself is dam aged in any way. Do not exceed the Maximum load of the hoist. Wispa 200L,200LT,200LTX 200kgs (31 Stone) (440 lb) Wispa 300 272kgs (42 Stone) (598 lb) Ensure when the hoist is in use that the surrounding area is clear and the person being lifted is clear of all objects. Do not leave a user unattended in the sling. For maximum comfort always move the user in one movement and avoid stop/ starting the hoist. Some occupants are reassured if the carer holds them whilst the hoist is traversing. Hoists should only be used to lift vertically. Lifting at an angle will wear the lifting tape prematurely. Return the hoist to the charging position when not in use.

The outer case, mechanical parts and track should only be removed by a qualified service engineer, trained by Chiltern Invadex. Do not touch any of the moving parts in the hoist unit or in the track. Contact Chiltern Invadex for assistance. Take care when attaching or removing a sling as a swinging carry bar could cause injury.
Chiltern Invadex (UK) strongly recommends that hoists and related products are not used independently. Under some circumstances it may be appropriate for the person being lifted or transferred to control the operation themselves; however this should always be while accompanied by an appropriately trained person. The latest version of the hoisting standard ISO 10535:2006 makes the following statement. 7.2.1.5 When a hoist is to be used by a disabled person on their own, it is necessary to ensure that in the event of a failure of the hoist, the disabled person is not left in a potentially dangerous situation. NOTE This may, for example, take the form of a warning in the instructions for use, the fitting of an alarm system or the supply of a conveniently placed telephone etc

The tracking X-Y function is controlled by the blue buttons, on the handset. The buttons are colour coded with a solid blue arrow and an outline blue arrow. These colours correspond to the direction travel arrows on the underside of the hoist case. To control the direction of the hoist, view the coloured direction arrows mounted on the hoist and press the button on the hand control which corresponds in colour to the arrow on the hoist.

Emergency Stop
Fig 1
Fig 2
The red pull cord provides an emergency cut out. If the cord is pulled once (as Fig 1) then the emergency stop is activated. To reset, hold the end of the red cord whilst sliding the plastic tube upwards. Continue to push the tube up (as Fig 2) to reset the switch. Finally, press the red reset button on the handset. Three beeps sound when the hoist is then reset and ready to use. In the unlikely event of a power failure or hoist malfunction the user may be lowered using the emergency lowering cord. To operate, pull the cord fully and hold. To reset follow the instructions as for emergency stop.
Charging Wispa Hoists When not in use return the hoist to the end of the track where the charging unit for the batteries is housed. To engage the hoist with the charger, traverse the hoist to the end of the track. Correct engagement is signalled when the charging light glows red. Once the hoist is engaged, charging is automatic. After a period of time the light will flash green to indicate continuous charge ok. No further actions are required to charge the batteries. The batteries cannot be overcharged. Testing the Emergency Lowering Device Please Note: The emergency lowering device uses a seperate rechargeable battery to allow the occupant of the hoist to be lowered in the event of an emergency. The emergency lowering device should be tested at each service. Frequent testing of this device in non-emergency situations may quickly discharge the battery and affect the operation of the hoist. Battery Low Indicator The battery low indicator will beep with the appropriate audio sequence and flashing red light when the hoist’s batteries are in need of charging. This is unlikely to happen unless the hoist is used for long periods of time without charging, or the hoist has not been properly ‘parked’ in its charger, to recharge the batteries. Always return the hoist to the charging position. A full list of audio warning signals are included in appendix A on page 8. Maximum Load The hoist has inbuilt safety features which prevent the maximum load being exceeded. Note: The hoist will not lift beyond the maximum rated load. 8 6
