Instructions : Pulling the patient up to the head of the bed

Ask the patient to fold their arms if possible.
Attach the sheet clamps to each side of the patient.
Raise the side rails.
Raise the bed fully (do not raise mattress top past height marker on the ErgoNurse frame).
Lift each belt to remove slack from the sheet, then gently tug each belt down to assure it is locked.
Lower the bed; the sheet will form a sling underneath the patient.
The patient will be gently pulled to the head of the bed. When the patient is in the desired position, stop lowering the bed.
Raise the bed to a comfortable working height and release the seat belts. NOTE: If it is desired to turn the patient just remove one sheet clamp.
Remove the locking bar(s) and return the bars and sheet clamps to the hanging pins on the side of the lift.
Close the swing arms.
Do not allow patients to lock their heels over the footboard or between the mattress and footboard, since this will impact the function of the ErgoNurse.
