The future of patient lifts rests upon stronger actuator systems Modern patient lifts need to be user-friendly, powerful, durable, reliable, and safe to use, regardless of whether it is a traditional lift or a sit-to-stand lift used in rehabilitation. Good ergonomics are of paramount importance for care staff worldwide. And an increased focus on maintaining a feeling of dignity and self-reliance for the patients, has created a need for sit-to-stand lifts, enabling easy operation and control of the lift in a safe manner. The best application is made of the best products LINAK actuator systems for patients lifts traditional or sit-to-stand are among the most heavily tested on the market. Some of the products we offer are specially designed for patient lifts, for instance the linear actuator LA40 PL. It is a powerful actuator capable of delivering a smooth and strong full-stroke push. Combined with a LINAK hand control and a Li-Ion battery, you can add user-friendly and eco-friendly to your solution too. In combination with a powerful control box you get smooth movement and world-class performance. Sit-to-stand lifts are often used in rehabilitation. They can help a patient get support to use arms and upper body muscles or to assist the legs. This way people will be able to actively train, for example, their back muscles. It can also be great for people who have a disability, helping them to stand up and let the heart and body work as intended. Human beings were not designed to sit down all day. - Nicolas Åström, Corporate Key Account Manager, LINAK Have full power at full stroke length Many actuators for patient lifts have a declining power-curve as they push to full stroke length. The LA40 PL has full-stroke power, allowing it full operational power in every position required. Trust LINAK experience and product compliance A number of national and international standards and norms are in place to ensure patient safety and a good work environment for healthcare professionals. From years of experience, LINAK follows these closely and manufacture products in compliance with the necessary standards, such as EN10535 regarding the prevention of overload and abuse.

Powerful and reliable like no other Power and reliability is required to ensure continuous patient comfort and general safety when using a lift. It makes movements smooth and gentle, and ensures correct operation when loads are heavy. The LINAK product range is extensive, making the number of system combinations almost endless. Our products compliance with required norms and standards, makes it easier for you to obtain the necessary approvals. The linear actuator series The LA40 PL is a powerful actuator designed for patient lifts. It can deliver a 400 mm push of 8,000 N full-stroke with a high side load. At 6 mm/s this strong actuator serves a smooth movement, increasing the comfort for the user. The battery series The Li-Ion batteries help deliver ample power to deliver constant speed and reliable performance. It is easy to exchange and recharge, making workflows smooth for care staff too. Li-Ion batteries, such as the BAJL, are also eco-friendly. The hand control series With its exchangeable cable, anti-slip ergonomic coating, and informative and intuitive interface, the HB30 makes the perfect hand control. Whether it is battery status, movement direction, or overload information, all you need to know is at your fingertips. Other actuators like e.g. the LA20 are perfect where space is limited, yet a powerful push is necessary. Used as a leg spreader in modern patient lifts the actuators creates optimal balance and stability. Adding another secondary actuator helps increase balance and comfort even more when attached to the sling. The control box series Our control boxes, e.g. JUMBO Care, are the brain of the patient lift system, housing several of the intelligent safety features. LINAK SDT - a Service Data Tool The SDT is an optional accessory to your actuator system. It enables you to read status/ service data from your system about wear and tear and offers information about battery status altogether ensuring that the patient lift is fully functional at all times. We call this preventive maintenance. 4

Increase safety for carer and user Care staff are continuously expected to increase the level of efficiency while offering the best possible care for the patients. This means that the patient lift needs to be extremely intuitive to operate and easy to use, offering patients a maximum of comfort. Optimal ergonomics is essential to prevent injury to patients or care staff. That is why LINAK actuator systems for healthcare applications come with several safety features, such as: end-stop safety-nut (patented) ratchet spline overload information side load protection low-on-battery information LINAK also strives to accommodate carers in numerous ways: hand controls, such as the HB30, have intuitive interfaces with ergonomic anti-slip surfaces batteries are easy to exchange and recharge cables are managed to prevent accidents optional Service Data Tool helps plan maintenance to ensure full performance Did you know? that working as a nurse in the USA is more hazardous than working in construction or manufacturing? almost 60,000 nurses and nursing assistants have absence from work due work-related injuries every year in the USA alone. Half of them from lifting or moving patients? cost of absence amounts to $27,000 $103,000 per nurse? The annual expense in compensation for injuries among care staff has reached $2bn in the USA? *) Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Caring for our Caregivers, September 2013 10
