Pollux is a freestanding lift stand which, in combination with two rails and two lift units, functions as a stationary patient
lift for heavier patients. It is particularly suitable in cases where the need for a stationary lift is occasional or in situations
where it is not possible to install a permanent rail system on the ceiling or walls. Pollux is made of aluminium, which
makes it very light in relation to its high lifting capacity.
Handicare’s SystemRoMedic product series includes a range of lifts, slings and other accessories. SystemRoMedic
adopts a holistic approach to patient transfers and is organized in four categories: transfer, positioning, support and
lifting.
Functional inspection
Visual inspection Inspect Pollux and lift unit functions regularly. Check to ensure that material is free from damage.
Before use:
Check to ensure that the lift stand and lift unit are correctly assembled.
Check all mounts and safety latches.
Always read the manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
The lift may only be used by persons who have received instruction in the operation of the lift.

1. Insert two support legs into two base feet and adjust to the desired height for your Pollux lift stand. Use the wing knobs to secure
the support legs at the desired height.
2, 3. Insert a support leg into a corner piece and secure it with two
D
bolts. Do the same with the other support legs and corner pieces.
4. Mount the plates in the corner pieces with the wing knobs.

Assembly of rails and lift unit
5. Insert the rail into a corner piece. It must pass the
rear wing knob. The plate guides the rail and secures
it to the corner piece. Secure the rail with the wing
knob.
Note! Remember to mount the lift unit/carriage before
5, 9
assembling the other support leg.
6. Mount the lift unit according to one of the
following alternatives.
1. Lift unit with built-in carriage:
Guide the lift unit into the rail (see image) before the
other end of the rail is secured to the corner piece.
2. Lift unit with separate carriage:
Guide the carriage into the rail before the other end
6
of the rail is secured to the corner piece. When the
lift stand is fully assembled the portable lift unit can
be mounted.
For instructions on using the lift, see the manual for
the respective lift unit.
7. To prevent the lift unit from gliding along the rail
during assembly of the second support leg, anchor it
7
to the support leg that has already been assembled.
We recommend anchoring the lift unit with the help
of an end stop. When assembly is complete, slide
the end stop to the other end of the rail and leave it
in place.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the parallel support leg
which is mounted in the same base foot.
9. Screw the other sides of the rails to the other
corner pieces as shown in images 5, 9.
10. Completed assembly

Final inspection
Inspect Pollux for signs of damage. Check to ensure that Pollux is standing safely on the floor, so that it does not
lean, and that the support legs are adjusted to the same height.
Check to ensure that all wing knobs and bolts are securely tightened.
The lift unit must be inspected according to the procedure for periodic inspection for the respective lift unit.
Keep the manual where it is easily accessible for users of the product.
Using the product
Important information
• Pollux must be assembled according to the assembly instructions included with the lift stand.
• Pollux may only be used indoors and on a level floor.
• Lifting accessories must be properly tested to ensure that they correspond to the patient’s needs and functional ability.
• Never leave a patient unattended during a transfer.
• Max load may under no circumstances be exceeded. See section on max load.
• For optimal function, Pollux must be inspected regularly. See section on Maintenance.
• Warranty applies only if repairs or alterations are made by authorized personnel.
Placement
Pollux should always be placed so that the patient’s centre of gravity is directly under the rails. Otherwise, the direction
of pull will be off-centre, which may affect stability negatively. Therefore, during lifting from the bed, the rails must be
centred directly above the bed.

Instructions for use
Transfers with Pollux
For transfers with Pollux, two lift units can be used separately
(one on each rail). If there is a need to pivot the lift units, BariTurn
can be used in combination with the lift system (see manual for
BariTurn). Plan the lift and fit the sling to the patient (see the user
manual for the sling model that is being used). Hook the loops to
the slingbars. Leg sections on one slingbar and back loops on
the other slingbar. Prepare the patient for the lift and explain what
is about to happen. Never leave the patient unattended during
the lifting and transfer procedure, and always be attentive to the
patient’s signals. Lift the patient by raising both lift units. Take
particular care to ensure that both lift units are raised evenly, so
as not to jeopardize the comfort and safety of the patient. Stop
when all lift straps are tensioned and check to ensure that all is
as it should be before proceeding with the lift. If the patient is
uncomfortable, stop lifting.
Transfer the patient from the bed to the wheelchair, or vice versa.
Gait training with Pollux and BariTurn
For gait training with Pollux, a BariTurn must be used. This is to
enable the patient to turn and walk in both directions. When the
BariTurn is mounted with two lift units (see manual for BariTurn)
on Pollux a lift vest can be placed around the patient (see manual
for the respective lift vest). Hook the loops to the slingbars:
Alternative 1: Hook the back loops to one slingbar, and then
hook the front loops to the other slingbar.
Alternative 2: Hook one of the front loops and one of the back
loops to one slingbar, and then hook the other loops to the other
slingbar.
Prepare the patient for the lift and explain what is about to
happen. Never leave the patient unattended during the lifting
and transfer procedure, and always be attentive to the patient’s
signals. Lift the patient by raising both lift units. Take particular
care to ensure that both lift units are raised evenly, so as not to
jeopardize the comfort and safety of the patient. Stop when all lift
straps are tensioned and check to ensure that all is as it should
be before proceeding with the lift. If the patient is uncomfortable,
stop lifting.
The patient can now train, with or without extra support. With the
help of BariTurn the lift units can travel between, and along, the
rails and can rotate.

Accessories
Lift units
SystemRoMedic’s lift units are available in different models and versions,
stationary or portable. The choice of model is determined by the need
for lifting capacity, the settings and situations in which the lift unit is to be
used, and the particular needs of the patient.
Lifting accessories
BariTurn is a swivelling carriage (360°) for two ceiling lift units.
BariTurn is used in combination with Pollux or a permanently installed
MilkyWay rail system for lifting very large and heavy patients, for example,
in connection with seated and horizontal transfers. BariTurn is also a
perfect assistive device for standing and gait training with very heavy
patients.
Slings
SystemRoMedic’s slings, which are available in several different fabrics
and materials, are part of a series of various sling models. The choice of
model and material is determined by the patient’s functional ability and by
the situations in which the sling is to be used.
For slings and other accessories, see SystemRoMedic’s manuals for the
respective slings and slingbars.

Maintenance
Pollux must be thoroughly inspected at least once per year. Inspection must be performed by authorized personnel and
in accordance with SystemRoMedic’s instructions for periodic inspection of Pollux.
Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by authorized personnel and with original spare parts.
Cleaning
When necessary, clean the lift stand with warm water or rubbing alcohol. Do not use cleaning agents containing phenol
or chlorine, as this may damage the material.
