Revised - Salient Characteristics

Site walk through A site walk through has been scheduled for February 25, 2026 @0900. FHCC Lovell Building 134, First floor lobby with Arlene Ayala. Cutoff date for questions will be March 4, 2026.

The following features/salient characteristics are needed in order to keep our Veteran patient population safe, improve patient mobility, and reduce the risk of staff injury when mobilizing patients.

System Specifications Ceiling track system:

· Smooth, continuous movement across the entire track system.

· Each patient room must have one ceiling lift unit. The unit should be able to service the entire space. The ceiling lift unit will need to operate in an H-track system with additional track to service shower, sink, and toilet use.

This configuration provides the most flexible area coverage, allowing the patient to move throughout the space, reposition, lift legs, wash hands, and use the toilet.

· Requesting a stationary lock per lift unit and or stationary lock per rail as a preferred option. For the following reasons:

1. Patients undergo therapy in their rooms.

2. Patients are long term residents.

3. Locks add an element of safety for patients and staff.

Lift unit:

· The Lift Unit shall be constructed of a steel frame system driven by a gear-reduced, high-torque, motor.

· Safety device that stops the motor from lifting when batteries are low.

· Lifting capacity (minimum): 550 lbs. (249.476 kg) for non-bariatric lifts and 750-1000 lbs. (340.194- 498.952 kg) for bariatric lifts.

· 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 lifting when batteries are low.

· Horizontal axis motor

· Emergency brake (in case of mechanical failure)

· Cab: VO plastic–fire retardant, UL 94

· Preferred option is to include features that assist physical therapy. This is due to frequency of use.

· Must be able to clean with cleaner/disinfectant to decontaminate both the lifts and slings.

· Preferred capabilities to detect and report system faults.

· Must have mechanical and electrical emergency lowering device.

· Operation of the emergency manual lowering device shall be in such a way that users can apply continuous pull to the cord to facilitate slow descent of the patient.

· When the emergency stopping device is activated, all movement must cease at max load. The emergency stop functionality shall follow all ISO 10535 safety standards for drift underload.

· Preferred safety interlocks to ensure secure engagement of components.

Lift motor:

· Manufacturers’ specified life expectancy of the ceiling lift motor and rails must be at least 5 years.

· The safe working load of the ceiling lift motor shall be clearly labeled on the outside of the ceiling lift motor.

· Lift motor internal gears must be made of metal, not plastic.

· Weight capacity must be achieved using a single lift motor.

Scale:

· Class III scale is required with lift unit or hanger bar or carry- bar.

· An integrated Class III scale that allows users to read weights off the hand control is preferred. This is preferred due to additional working height and ease of use.

Batteries:

repositioning) and a minimum of 17 transfers with its maximum load.

Charger:

· Charger compatible with system supplied and installed by manufacturer.

· Preferred continuous AC charging anywhere on the track.

Lifting Speed:

· Preferred Motorized unit capable of lifting and lowering with variable speed control.

· Preferred Lifting speed of at least 2 inches per second with a workload of at least 300 lbs.

· The straps shall meet ISO 10535 guidelines. The straps shall ensure the patient’s safety by preventing the patient from falling out of the sling.

· Lifting strap shall be a minimum of 98”. Hanger bars must be able to reach the floor.

Installation Services

· 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 12” consult with the manufacturer to determine if lateral braces will be required.

· Installation drawings shall show structural supports to the underside of the structure. Structural calculations for the support of the track and its attachment to ceiling structure shall be submitted.

· Final Inspection of installed ceiling-mounted patient lift systems shall be conducted in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation checklist and the facility's installation checklist (Patient Safety Alert AL14-07) prior to use for patient movement.
