6. On night duty there is one staff member per floor in the event of a fall they are dependent on helping each other The night staff inform us that there is an average of 1 2 falls per week In the ward the night staff use the ceiling hoist if this is installed In the bathroom the fallen person is assisted by two other people The night staff say that there is not the room to use current aids such as a mobile hoist It leads to poor working postures t takes a heavy toll on both staff and patients Does this technology replace other aids or arrangements The Raizer is a good replacement for the mobile hoist which was previously used to help people up from the floor The latter and its accompanying lifting sling are cheaper to buy than the Raizer but they require more training in their use This is partly due to the risk of the improper choice of lifting sling where the patient can slide through the lifting sling The mobile hoist is difficult to use in narrow confines and outside It also requires two persons to operate with respect to the patient and the physical working environment Can the device be used without resource heavy skills development The Raizer was introduced by 3 people with each spending half an hour A number of people have subsequently used the device to deal with falls without any problems A few have needed to have follow up guidance Can the device be used without the conversion or purchase of other products Yes Th
7. cided to simplify the Quick Guide so that it only takes a single side of A4 which is laminated and placed in the bag The same applies to the user manual The Raizer is easy to clean after use by using disinfecting wipes Does the device do what it is designed to do The expectation is that the device shall be able to lift a fallen person from the floor The Liftup consultant said that the Raizer can also be used outside and on different types of surface We chose to test the Raizer on the following surfaces asphalt paving stones slabs and grass The device worked on all types of outdoor surface As well as indoor surfaces such as lino and bathroom floor tiles There is minor shaking with use outside on paving stones slabs and grass But this is of such a minor nature that the person being lifted does not feel insecure Then it is very important that employees are introduced to how the Raizer shall be arranged after use and prior to disassembly It is a challenge to get the back legs into the right position before the parts are disassembled What position the legs are in at disassembly has a great bearing on how the Raizer shall be reassembled Does the device work every time it is used The Raizer clearly indicates with both sound and via an LED on the control panel when it requires recharging However the STOP button is often activated for unknown reasons Financial and resources Does this device free up employees and resources
8. e Raizer has the dimensions 33 x 75 cm WxL The bag with the legs and back rest can be hung on a hook on the wall See appendices 1 and 2 The seat part which weighs 9 kg can feel heavy over longer distances and we recommend it be placed on a trolley or users purchase a small case carrier The Raizer weighs 13 kg in total The supplier informs us that a small cart is under development The bag for the back rest and legs is of low quality The zip broke after a short time A new higher quality bag was then provided Conclusion WTE 0 1 Functionality 4 Staff User friendliness Management Investment WTEO Utility Operation Value e Staff and management were immediately enthusiastic about the Raizer as it supports a good physical working environment and good procedures e Raizer training requirements were limited and several experienced being able to use it after an introduction e People said that the device felt secure and they had a positive experience of being lifted up off the floor by it e The Raizer requires little storage space and thus it is easy to site in a ward and support good procedures Recommendation for 0 2 As the Raizer is more expensive to buy than the Viking M mobile hoist it must pay its way in terms of procedures and the prevention of occupational injuries Furthermore many institutions have already invested in mobile hoists Therefore we recommend that the Raizer and the physical
