Transfer Lift Technical Description
The Cascade Transfer Lift System is used with Whirlpool or Aqua-Aire

Introduction
The Cascade Patient Transfer Lift System is designed to significantly
improve the efficiency and environmental safety of your nursing care
operation. However, the benefits designed into the Transfer Lift
System will be realized only if the system is operated and cared for
properly. The purpose of this manual is to provide you with a
recommended procedure to help you obtain the maximum efficiency
and safety from your Transfer Lift System.

Symbols and Term
WARNING
The warning symbol identifies important safety messages. Failure to obey
a safety warning may result in injury to you or to others.
CAUTION
The caution heading identifies important maintenance and operation
information. Failure to obey a caution warning may result in damage to the
Penner Transfer System and may void the warranty.
Left or Right
When the terms “left” or “right” are used with reference to the tub, this
means left or right as you look at the control panel from the seat end of
the tub. On the Transfer, “left” or “ right” is as the resident sits.
480745 Rev. A 5
Penner Transfer Lifts are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the
safety requirements for patient care equipment. In addition, they have been tested to
insure their safety. It is important, however to know that materials can fail due to
normal wear caused by use over time. Therefore before each patient transfer, it is
required that the nursing staff inspect for proper operation and missing or worn parts
such as belts. It is also required that a qualified maintenance staff inspect the lift at least
monthly for missing parts or excessive wear that might cause the transfer lift to fail. A
permanent record of each inspection and repairs should be kept by the
facility.
Training of personnel
Only personnel who have been thoroughly trained in the operation of the
Penner Transfer Lift System should operate this equipment. Operation of this
equipment by untrained personnel could result in injury to the operator or patient.
Your Penner Patient Care distributor is available at your request to provide
complete in-service training on the equipment’s proper operation.
Patient Assessment for the Penner Transfer Lift Systems.
Before using the Penner Transfer Lift System, patients must be assessed by
The facility’s professional nursing or professional rehabilitation staff to determine
which patients are suitable for transfer, which type of Transfer to use, and the
number of staff members necessary to transfer each patient. Although one person
can perform patient transfers, certain patients or situations may require the help of
one or more additional staff members. For example, patients with unpredictable
behavior due to dementia may require additional help if their behavior poses risk of
injury to themselves or to staff members, patients being transported in the Penner
Transfer with or without scale outside of the patient’s room. The above information
must be recorded in the patient’s record and must be communicated to the staff.
Penner Transfer Lift Criteria
The Patient Must:
a. Have no injuries or medical conditions that might be aggravated by the Penner
Transfer Lift procedure.
b. Weight less than 400 pounds.
c. Be able to follow simple directions.
d. Be able to sit upright or restrained by the optional Chest Belt.
e. Evaluated for safety of extremities that are rigid or any problem he or she has that
could cause injury or conflict with the safe operation of the Penner Transfer Lift.

raise the Transfer to the appropriate height to clear the top of the seat
inside the tub. Unlock the casters and slowly move the transfer to a
position to place the resident into the tub. Move the Transfer Carefully into
the Cascade tub, ensuring the base guides of the Transfer aligns with the
legs of the Cascade tub. On Side Entry tubs, turn the Transfer at an angle
and bring the legs and feet in first. On End Opening tubs, lift the legs and
feet in first. Assist placing the resident’s legs into the foot well of the tub
and position the resident to face the Service deck of the tub. Position the
Transfer chair in center of the tub and as far Forward As it will go.

and legs are clear before raising. Push the “UP” button to raise the
resident slightly if needed. Now drain the water from the tub. You may
now rinse the residents body with the shower sprayer.

extremities have been towel dried so the bath room floor stays dry.

patient is properly secured.
2. Press the “ON / ZERO” button once to turn on. Press again to zero.
3. The scale weighs in increments of ½ Lb. accuracy +/- 1 Lb.
4. The indicator should show “0”. This should only need to be done once a day or
when seat empty indicates anything other than zero.
5. If indicator reads anything other than zero, start over and zero again. If it does
not read “0” the scale may need to be recalibrated. Note: Negative weights are
indicated by the weight flashing on and off.
6. Pressing the Penner Patient Care Logo recalls the last weight which was
“Held”.
7. Press the “Lb./Kg.” button and hold to convert to Lb. or Kg.
8. Once the patient is in the seat, ensure that the arms, legs, or feet are not
touching anything. This would give an inaccurate reading.
9. After the resident is stabilized the scale indicates “HOLD”, a reading of the
weight may now be taken.
10. The battery for the Scale read out is located in the bottom of the read out.
There are four AA batteries.
