• Do the following:
  - Ensure the suitability of the unit to lift the individual is assessed. Judging the suitability of any patient lifting device is the responsibility of the healthcare professional or the care giver. Some circumstances that must be considered include the following: size and weight of the individual; his or her upper body strength, balance, co-ordination, cognition and hip flexibility; their potential to spasm
  - Inspect the unit before each use to be sure it is free from damage and excessive wear. Bi-annual inspections by trained technicians are strongly recommended
  - Ensure both the bath surface and suction feet are clean, dry and free from soap and bath oil residue before fitting the Bathmaster Sonaris into the bath
  - Use the Bathmaster Sonaris only with accessories, hand controllers, and rechargers
  - When the Bathmaster Sonaris is being used by a disabled person unaided, please ensure that an alarm system or telephone is available that could be used in the event of difficulty or emergency
• Do not do the following:
  - Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the unit -140kg (22stone, 308lb). An overload protection mechanism is incorporated and the lift will not operate if the maximum load is exceeded. In the event that a patient exceeding the maximum load is partially lowered before the overload mechanism operates the patient can be lifted by manually bearing a small proportion of their weight, which will allow the overload mechanism to reset
  Note: The overload mechanism will reset automatically, however it is important to ensure the unit is not damaged in any way and should be thoroughly inspected before the next use
