Product Description

The Likorall overhead lift is a general-purpose lifting device designed for use in healthcare settings, including general care, intensive care, and rehabilitation. It integrates seamlessly with Liko's fixed and free-standing rail systems, offering ease of use and accessibility. The lift facilitates common patient transfers, such as between bed/wheelchair, to/from the floor, for toilet visits, gait training, and with stretchers. The Likorall R2R model allows for patient movement between two separate rail systems in different rooms without requiring wall modifications.

The Likorall ES models are equipped for wireless operation via the HandControl Remote (IR) and can also accommodate a Transfer Motor for powered rail movement. The Likorall S, IRC model features continuous charging through the rail system via the Liko In-Rail charging system (IRC).

A wide range of accessories, including various sling models in different sizes and designs, are available for the Likorall overhead lift.

Intended Use

This product is designed for use by trained personnel assisting a patient. It is not intended for patient self-operation. Lifting and transferring a patient must always be performed with the assistance of at least one caregiver. This manual focuses on the operation of the lift itself, not specific patient conditions. For support and advice, contact a Hillrom representative.

IMPORTANT! Lifting and transferring patients involves inherent risks. Always read and understand the instructions for use for both the lift and lifting accessories before operation. Ensure lifting accessories are compatible with the lift. Exercise care and caution; the caregiver is responsible for patient safety and must assess the patient's ability to manage the lifting situation. Contact the manufacturer or supplier if anything is unclear.

Electromagnetic Emissions Guidance

Electromagnetic Immunity Guidance

Recommended Separation Distances for RF Communications Equipment

This product is intended for use in environments where RF disturbances are controlled. Maintain minimum distances between portable/mobile RF equipment and the product based on the transmitter's maximum output power (P) and frequency, using the formulas provided (d = (0.58)√P for 150 kHz-80 MHz, d = (0.35)√P for 80 MHz-800 MHz, d = (0.70)√P for 800 MHz-2.7 GHz). Field strengths from fixed transmitters should be less than compliance levels. Interference may occur near equipment marked with the symbol for electromagnetic fields ((())).

Note: For transmitters not listed, estimate separation distance using the formula. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, use the higher frequency range. Guidelines may vary based on site-specific propagation.

Alternative Charging Procedures

• In-Rail Charging (IRC): The lift charges continuously when on the rail. Charging pauses during lifting and resumes automatically. A green LED indicates readiness; a yellow LED indicates low battery capacity.
• MultiStation: Batteries can be charged by parking the lift under a MultiStation installed on the rail system. This requires the lift to be equipped with a contact rail or transfer motor. Suitable for HandControl IR operation as well. (Prod. No. 3126110)

Transferring from Room to Room

The Liko R2R Room-to-Room system facilitates safe patient transfers between rooms using separate rail systems. It links two Likorall overhead lifts for a comfortable transition.

Diagram Description: The diagram shows two lifts (Lift 1 and Lift 2) and the R2R system components (R2R double hook, Q-Link II/Q-Link, catches). It illustrates the steps for transferring a patient from Lift 1 to Lift 2.

Mounting a Q-Link to the Sling Bar R2R:

• A sling bar R2R with a double hook accommodates two Q-Links (II or standard).
• Catches secure the Q-Link II in the R2R double hook before load is applied.
• Open the catch gently to insert or remove a Q-Link II or Q-Link.

Transfer Steps:

1. Move Lift 1 close to the doorway, lowering the lift as much as comfortable for the patient.
2. Move Lift 2 close to the opening, lower its strap, and connect the Q-Link II or Q-Link to the sling bar R2R. Ensure R2R double hook catches function correctly.
3. Raise Lift 2 to move the patient to the next room. Once pressure is relieved from Lift 1's strap, disconnect it from the sling bar R2R.

Note: For multi-room transfers, an adjustable carriage may be used instead of a lift motor. To detach Q-Link II/Q-Link, additional strap may need to be released from Lift 1.

Extend the Lift Strap with Extension Belt

Extension Belts are available in four adjustable lengths (300-500 mm, 500-700 mm, 750-950 mm, 1000-1200 mm) to extend the lift strap. Select the appropriate length for required extension, ensuring correct attachment and detachment of sling loops.

Diagram Description: The diagram shows how to attach a Quick-release Hook on an Extension Belt to the Q-Link II on the lift unit's lift strap.

• Safety Check: Before lifting, confirm the Quick-release Hook is correctly attached to the Q-Link II.
• When an Extension Belt is attached, the Central Suspension Point (CSP) is defined as the Q-Link II on the Extension Belt.

Maximum Load

The maximum load for an assembled lift system (lift, sling bar, sling, accessories) is the lowest maximum load rating of any component. For example, if the lift is rated for 200 kg and an accessory for 300 kg, the system's maximum load is 200 kg.
