The transfer chair is a specialized nursing device for transporting elderly people and patients with mobility impairments, which can significantly reduce the burden of carrying them.The risks of bumps and lumbar muscle injuries caused by lifting and supporting are mitigated. Standardized operation is the core of ensuring the safety of users and caregivers. The following is a complete breakdown of the standard usage procedure.

I. Pre-use Inspection and Preparation
A complete safety check must be performed before operation. First, check whether the frame steel tubes are deformed, whether the welds are cracked, and whether the armrests and seat buckles are securely locked.Check that the four-wheel brakes and height adjustment handles are flexible, and that the foot pedals have normal rebound and locking functions; confirm that the seat is free of cracks and the soft-padded armrests are undamaged, and avoid sharp edges from scratching the user.Adjust the width of the device and the height of the seat according to the user's body size. Loosen the adjustment knobs on both sides and adjust to a suitable body shape before locking them in place. Lock the brakes on the four omnidirectional wheels at the bottom and park the device smoothly next to the hospital bed, toilet, or chair, leaving enough space for operation. Assist the user to wear non-slip clothing and remove any sharp jewelry to prevent scratches during transport.
II. Standard Operating Procedures for Getting On and Seating
Assist the user to sit sideways on the seat of the mobility machine, with a caregiver providing support throughout to stabilize the user's lower back and prevent tipping.
Lower the side armrests and fasten the locking handles to ensure they are fully secured, forming a protective enclosure.
Lower the front anti-slip footrest and adjust it to a height where the user's feet can rest naturally, preventing leg congestion.
Recheck that all adjustment knobs, brakes, and armrest latches are secure, and gently shake the machine to confirm there are no loose parts.
III. Key Points of Transfer and Movement Operations
Before transport, release the brakes on the casters. The caregiver should stand behind the equipment, hold the rear push handle with both hands, and push it at a steady speed. It is strictly forbidden to push suddenly on one side or make rapid turns.Slow down when passing thresholds, carpets, or small steps, and slightly raise the front end to pass smoothly, preventing the user from slipping due to the bumps in the machine.After transporting the equipment to the target location (toilet, shower chair, or hospital bed), immediately apply the four-wheel brakes to lock the machine. Only proceed with dismounting after confirming the equipment is completely secured. Avoid rapid movement on wet or slippery surfaces throughout the process; wipe any water stains off the surface beforehand to prevent slipping.
IV. Unloading and Equipment Storage
Upon arrival at the destination and locking the device, first release the latches on both sides of the armrests and flip the armrests upwards; retract the front foot pedals, and the caregiver should support the user under the armpits and waist, and slowly help them up from the seat.After use, clean any remaining stains from the seat and pedals, and wipe the metal frame dry to prevent moisture and rust. Loosen the width adjustment knob to fold the body, fold the pedals, and store it in a dry and ventilated place to avoid heavy objects compressing the frame.
V. Safety Precautions
Overloading is prohibited; do not move personnel whose weight exceeds the equipment's rated load capacity. Do not loosen the handrails or unlock the brakes prematurely during transport. Multiple people are strictly prohibited from operating one transfer machine at the same time; it is best to push it at a constant speed by one person. Patients with severe osteoporosis or agitation require two caregivers to assist in the transport to prevent sudden struggles and falls
Proper use of the transfer machine can protect people with mobility impairments from secondary injuries and effectively reduce the strain on caregivers. Each transfer should strictly follow the four-step principle of "check first, then fix, transfer slowly, and remove from the machine steadily" to maximize the protective function of the equipment..
