1 IntroduCtIon  
Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant your atten-  
tion are included in this manual. Read the entire manual carefully before operating  
your new LF1600 Stand Assist, keep it handy for future reference, and refer to it as  
often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.  
The Lumex Stand Assist is a manual standing aid that requires patients to assist  
themselves in preparation for transport. Patients qualified to use the Stand As-  
sist should have adequate arm strength to pull themselves upward and enough leg  
strength to support their own weight. Patients who meet these criteria and have dif-  
ficulty walking will find the Stand Assist a useful and safe transport device. Function-  
ally, the Stand Assist is positioned between a traditional walker and an electric sit-to-  
stand lift. Once the resident has positioned themselves on board, the split seat can  
easily be positioned securely and allow the resident to sit comfortably while a care-  
giver performs the transport. For residents lacking the strength to assist themselves,  
we recommend an electric sit-to-stand lift.  
The Stand Assist is capable of the following transfers when used according to the  
instructions:  
• Bed to chair/wheelchair  
• Bed/chair/wheelchair to commode  
• Room to room  
The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to be used only  
as basic guidelines. You may find it necessary to develop your own methods for  
safely solving frequently encountered challenges. Again, consult your professional  
medical advisors for their recommendations about safety methods, and never hesi-  
tate to ask for their assistance.
