Stand Aid User Manual
REF: 1914
The Chattanooga Group AllianceTM Stand Aid is a manual standing aid to allow
patients to assist themselves in preparation for transport. Patients qualified to
use the Stand Aid 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 difficulty walking will find the Stand Aid a useful
and safe transport device. The Stand Aid is positioned between a traditional
walker and electric stand assist lift in terms of function. Once the patient has
positioned themselves on board, the split seat can easily be placed securely
and allow the patient to sit comfortably while a caregiver performs the transport.
For residents lacking the strength to assist themselves, a stand assist lift such
as the AllianceTM HE Patient Lift is recommended.
The AllianceTM Stand Aid is capable of the following transfers when used
according to the instuctions:
Bed to Chair/Wheelchair
Bed/Chair/Wheelchair to commode
Room to Room
FAILURE TO USE THIS DEVICE ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TRANSFER A PATIENT WHOSE
WEIGHT EXCEEDS 400 LBS / 180KGS
DO NOT LEAVE A PATIENT UNATTENDED DURING
TRANSPORT

The two black molded seat units can be rotated upwards to allow for patient
loading. Once the patient is in an upward standing position the split seats must
be lowered down to form a complete two-sided seat. Always make sure each
of the two seat components are properly lowered, forming a complete seat
prior to having the patient sit down.
