Transferring Patient for Use of Commode Chair or
Standard Commode

Transferring to a Commode Chair

WARNING

When elevated a few inches off the surface of the commode chair or standard

commode and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that all

hardware or straps are properly connected. Check each S-hook to make sure it is

completely attached to the metal bars of the sling. Check the attachment of the

straps, O or D-rings to the swivel bar hooks. If any attachments are NOT properly

in place, lower the patient back onto the commode chair or standard commode to

correct this problem.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient.

Patient’s arms should be inside of the chains or straps.
Invacare slings and Hardware are made specifically for use with Invacare Patient

Lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and patient lifts of dif-

ferent manufacturers.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.1 on page 33.

NOTE: The slings with commode openings are designed to be used with either a commode chair or
standard commode.

NOTE: Invacare recommends that the sling remain connected to the swivel bar during the
patient’s use of either the commode chair or standard commode.

1. Elevate the patient high enough to clear the commode chair and their weight

supported by the lift.

2. With the help of both assistants, guide the patient onto the commode chair.

3. Lower the patient onto the commode chair leaving the sling attached to the swivel bar.

4. When complete, recheck for correct attachment and then raise the patient off the

commode chair.

5. When patient is clear of the commode surface (using the steering handles), move the

lift away from the commode chair.

6. To return or place patient in a wheelchair. Refer to Transferring to a Wheelchair on
