Standard Features Standard Features The On3™ Lateral Transfer Device is equipped with the following standard features: • Height Adjustment • Remote Control • Hourmeter • Battery
Height Adjustment •
To raise the head mechanism, pump the foot pedal located on the back of the base.
•
To lower the head mechanism, hold the foot pedal down firmly.
Remote Control •
To draw both webbing straps into the device simultaneously, press the thumb indentation in the center of the device button.
•
To draw one webbing strap into the device at a time, press the left or right webbing strap button as required. There must be tension on the webbing straps in order for the left and right functions to work independently.
Hourmeter The On3™ Lateral Transfer Device is equipped with an hourmeter that measures the total time the motor has run. The hourmeter has six digits (00000.0), that enable it to measure in hours and tenths of an hour (six minute increments).
Reading the Hourmeter •
If the hourmeter reads 00004.2, the motor has run 4 h and 12 min.
•
If the tenth indicator is halfway between 2 and 3, then the motor has run 4 h and 15 min.
Calculating the Number of Transfers •
Each transfer takes 20 s to complete, depending on the battery level, the amount of left and right motion, and the size of the bed. Therefore, approximately 12 to 18 transfers can be made in each tenth of an hour, or 120 to 180 transfers can be made per hour.
•
Based on a reading of 00004.2, the calculation would be as follows: 4 h x 120 transfers per hour = 480 transfers 0.2 h x 12 transfers per tenth of an hour = 24 transfers 480 + 24 = 504 total number of transfers

11
Safety Transfer Procedure Preparation CAUTION: Always move the delivery surface and the receiving surface together, and lock the wheels of both surfaces before beginning the transfer. CAUTION: The receiving surface should be approximately 1" (3 cm) lower than the delivery surface. The bumper line of the On3™ Lateral Transfer Device should be approximately 1" (3 cm) above the receiving surface. CAUTION: Ensure that the bumpers of the On3™ Lateral Transfer Device are positioned firmly against the receiving surface. CAUTION: Make certain that the draw sheet is at least 36" (91 cm) long. If the draw sheet does not meet this standard, use the bed’s fitted sheet to draw the patient to the receiving surface. A full-length 72" (183 cm) draw sheet improves the quality and comfort of the transfer for the patient. CAUTION: Always use a draw sheet that is wide enough to wrap around the transfer rod at least once. The transfer rod should be rolled as close to the patient’s body as possible before beginning the transfer. CAUTION: Use only a single draw sheet. Wrapping more than one draw sheet around the transfer rod may keep the webbing strap clamps from fastening properly to the transfer rod. CAUTION: Ensure that the webbing strap clamps are securely attached to the transfer rod before every transfer.
12
Safety Transfer CAUTION: At the start of the transfer, it may be necessary to lay a hand on the transfer bridge until the patient’s weight is on the transfer bridge. CAUTION: Make sure that lines are not pulled or tangled during the transfer. Medical equipment attached to the patient must be monitored at all times so that it does not interfere with the patient, device, cart, or bed. CAUTION: Due to varying conditions, the back wheels of the On3™ Lateral Transfer Device may lift during the transfer of heavy patients. When transferring patients weighing 350 lb (159 kg) or more, apply downward pressure to the On3™ Lateral Transfer Device handle to eliminate back wheel lift. CAUTION: Always keep hands and fingers away from the opening where the webbing straps enter the On3™ Lateral Transfer Device.
