GENERAL

DESCRIPTION

Ceiling Mounted Patient Lift Systems for the transfer of physically challenged patients are specified in this section.

RELATED WORK

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Certification for compliance is required for Ceiling Mounted Patient Lift Systems. Certifications shall be provided by an independent third party who will conduct testing to ensure that the ceiling lift and charging system are safe and in compliance with ISO 10535 & UL 60601-1

SUBMITTALS

Certificates of Compliance Manufacturer's Literature and Data:

Lifting Capacity Lifting Speed Horizontal Displacement Speeds Horizontal Axis Motor Vertical Axis Motor Emergency Brake Emergency Lowering Device Emergency Stopping Device Electronic Soft-Start and Soft-Stop Motor Control Current Limiter for Circuit Protection Low Battery Disconnect System Strap Length All equipment anchors and supports. Submittals shall include weights, dimensions, center of gravity, standard connections, manufacturer's recommendations and behavior problems (e.g., vibration, thermal expansion,) associated with equipment or piping so that the proposed installation can be properly reviewed.

Individual Room layouts showing location of lift system installation shall be approved before proceeding with installation of lifts.

PRODUCTS

CEILING TRACK SYSTEM

The Ceiling Track shall be made from high strength extruded aluminum T66081-T5 at a thickness of 3/16" (4.8mm). Provide anchor supports at a minimum 3 per linear foot at ceiling substrate. The ceiling track shall be finished with baked enamel paint.

LIFT UNIT

The Lift Unit shall be constructed of a steel frame system (2205lbs / 1000kg tested) driven by a gear reduced high torque motor The Lift system shall have the following features.

Lifting capacity: 550 lbs (200 kg) Electronic soft-start and soft-stop motor control Emergency lowering device Emergency stopping device Current limiter for circuit protection in case of overload.

Safety device that stops the motor to lift when batteries are low.

Lifting speed: 2.3in/s (6 cm/s), 1.6in/s (3.5cm) in full capacity Horizontal displacement speed: 5.9in/s (150mm/s) Horizontal axis motor: 24VDC at 62 watts and vertical axis motor at 110 watts Emergency brake (in case of mechanical failure) Strap length up to 90in (2.3m) tested for 2998lbs (1360kg) Cab: VO plastic–fire retardant, UL 94 Wireless remote control (optional)

MOTORS

All motors shall be able to do more than 10,000 cycles in compliance with IEC CISPR 11.

Vertical Movement-DC Motor Type: Class A, fully enclosed, permanent magnet.

Rating: 24Vdc, 1.1A, 110W, 4000RPM, 0.3N-m.

Mounting: Secured to chassis.

Rating: 24Vdc, 1.8A, 62W, 260RPM, 1.0N-m.

Mounting: Secured to chassis.

BATTERIES

The life cycle (number of charging cycles) for batteries shall be in compliance with IEC 801-2.

Provide rechargeable batteries with up to 120 transfers with a load of 200lbs (74kg) and up to 70 transfers with its maximum load of 440lbs (200kg).

CHARGER

Charger Input: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz.

Charger Output: 27 Vdc, 1 A max.

Supplemental to the charger provide a clip on charging station with indicator lights.

STRAPS AND SLING

The straps shall be made of threaded nylon. The straps shall ensure the patient’s safety by preventing the patient from falling out of the sling.

The sling shall be made from a polyester/nylon net material that is pliable, breathable and easy to use. The sling shall cradle the body of the patient.

EXECUTION

INSTALLATION

Install ceiling mounted patient lift system as per manufacturer's instruction and under the supervision of manufacturer's qualified representative and as shown on drawings.

If the distance in between the suspended ceiling and anchors is more than 18" consult with manufacturer to determine if lateral braces will be required.

INSTRUCTION AND PERSONNEL TRAINING

Training shall be provided for the required personnel to educate them on proper operation and maintenance for the lift system equipment.

TEST

Conduct performance test, in the presence of the COR and a manufacturer's field representative, to show that the patient lift system equipment and control devices operate properly and in accordance with design and specification requirements.
