Introduction The Bathmaster Deltis is a patient bathing device intended to assist a bather into and out of the bath. Designed to make the pleasure of taking a bath safer and easier, for both user and carer, the Bathmaster Deltis is a fully battery powered, self-contained bath seat which requires no plumbing or electrical installation and is suitable for use in either domestic or institutional situations. The bath lift folds compactly, and separates into two parts, enabling it to be carried, transported and stored easily. The Bathmaster Deltis is easily positioned in any standard bath (Note: There are a few extremely narrow or contoured designs of bath in which a powered bath seat is not suitable – full details of compatible bath sizes can be found in the Technical Specifications section of these instructions). The frame stands on four suction feet that may be rotated to suit the curved floor of the bath. Integral ‘pull- up’ tabs on the suction feet, plus a rear release system, enable the Bathmaster Deltis to be easily removed from the bath. Replacement components and accessories are available. In this instruction manual you will find information and instructions on the safe and correct use of your bath lift. Keep all documents in a safe place.

Components

Charging the battery

The Bathmaster Deltis includes the following components:

The Bathmaster Deltis is operated using a rechargeable, battery powered, hand controller. Each hand controller is completely waterproof to a depth of 1m. The batteries are charged using low voltage rechargers, designed for the appropriate countries’ electricity supply.

• White plastic lower seat section with side transfer flaps and four suction feet • White plastic backrest with motor and cable • Two side flap protectors • Hand controller containing battery pack with LED low-battery warning light and audible bleep • Battery recharger with country specific lead and plug • User instructions

The hand controller must be charged prior to first use and whenever it is low on power. New hand controllers should be charged for a minimum of 3 hours prior to first use (1 hour for the Deltis Premium and Deltis XL). Optimum battery capacity will be reached following a few charging cycles. Charging the battery should be done away from the bathroom and other sources of water. The light on the battery pack illuminates when the charge is low.

If any of the above components are missing or damaged, do not use the Bathmaster Deltis and contact your distributor or Patterson Medical.

If the light is permanently lit, enough power remains for one complete lift only. The unit will not lower into the bath. Do not use the unit after the low-battery light on the hand controller has permanently illuminated. Recharge it before use.

Optional accessories are available for those requiring increased comfort or functionality.

Do the following

The hand controller is designed so that it cannot be charged at the same time as being connected to the Bathmaster Deltis.

• Before using the Bathmaster Deltis for the first time, read these instructions and familiarise yourself with the product and the lifting techniques. Become familiar with the operation of the unit before using it to lower or raise a person.

The hand controller should be removed from the Bathmaster Deltis, if the unit is not going to be used for some time. All battery packs are sealed units and batteries are non-replaceable. The chargers are not designed for use with non-rechargeable batteries.

• Retain these instructions for future reference and keep them where people using the bath lift can have access to them.

Ensure that the connector (see Fig.3) on the hand controller is completely dry before plugging it into the recharger or the bath lift.

• Ensure the suitability of the unit to lift the individual is assessed. Judging the suitability of any patient lifting device is the responsibility of the healthcare professional or the care giver. Some circumstances that must be considered include the following: size and weight of the individual; his or her upper body strength, balance, co-ordination, cognition and hip flexibility; their potential to spasm.

Inspect the charger and the power cord before each use to ensure they are free from damage. Do not open the handset as this will void the warranty. Recharging the hand controller (see Fig.3) To charge the battery, use the following procedure:

• Only use the bath lift in baths which comply with the specifications outlined in the Technical Specifications section of these instructions.

1. Disconnect the cable of the hand controller from the unit.

• Inspect the unit before each use to be sure it is free from damage and excessive wear. Bi-annual inspections by trained technicians are strongly recommended (see Maintaining the Unit).

2. Ensure that the connector is dry.

• Ensure both the bath surface and suction feet are clean, dry and free from soap and bath oil residue before fitting the Bathmaster Deltis into the bath.

4. Connect the charger to a suitable mains socket. Charging is in progress when the light on the hand controller is on.

3. Connect the jack plug on the cable of the hand controller with the socket on the cable of the charger unit.

• If using bath oils or bath salts, do not use a strong solution. A high concentration may impair the slide function of the lifting scissors.

5. Once charging is complete, the light in the hand controller will go out. Then disconnect the hand controller by reversing the sequence.

• Whilst using the bath lift the user should remain calmly seated. Excessive movement should be avoided.

Preparing the unit for use

• Use the Bathmaster Deltis only with accessories, hand controllers, and rechargers that are supplied by Patterson Medical.

Before setting up, check parts for any damage in transit and that no parts are missing.

• When the Bathmaster Deltis is being used by a disabled person unaided, please ensure that an alarm system or telephone is available that could be used in the event of difficulty or emergency.

Fitting the suction feet • The suction pads must be free from dirt or grease. • Take care to correctly orientate the straps on the suction pads (straps turned outwards)

Do not do the following

• Screw the front suction pads and rear suction pads (see Fig. 1, component 6) with the threaded end into the threaded holes on the underside of the base plate.

• Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the unit - Deltis: 140kg (22stone, 308lbs), Deltis XL: 170kg (26stone, 375lbs).

Fitting Side Flap Protectors (see Fig. 12)

• Do not use the Bathmaster Deltis as a support to help you stand or steady yourself.

If the bath tub has handles then side flap protectors may be needed. • Side flap protectors enable the side flaps to move smoothly up and down without catching beneath the handles on the bath. Clip the protectors into place on the handles with the short edges towards the outside of the bath.

• Do not use the unit on an incline greater than 5°. • Do not operate the hand controller whilst the unit is disassembled. • Do not use the Bathmaster Deltis if metal parts of the connectors or cables are exposed.

• When fitted correctly, they should rest at the bottom of the edge of the bath. If necessary they may be trimmed to length. Sharp edges of the trimmed end can be removed with abrasive paper or a file.

• Do not use the Bathmaster Deltis for other uses than which it is designed and detailed in these instructions.

Installing the bath lift

• Do not allow children to play with the Bathmaster Deltis, its parts or accessories.

• Before use, ensure there are no obstructions or projections within the bath that may prevent the frame from standing securely and squarely on its suction feet, also that it can be raised and lowered freely without catching under or on, any part of the bath surface, the taps and adjacent fittings.

• During assembly, use or cleaning, be careful not to put your fingers between any moving parts, especially around the backrest. • Do not modify or reconstruct the device.

• Only set up the bath lift in baths which comply with the specifications found in the Technical Specifications section of these instructions.

• Objects (such as hairbrushes etc.) which are taken into the bath must not be allowed near the area of the lifting scissors.

• You will need to lift the Bathmaster Deltis and place it into the bath. If you feel you may have difficulty or are unsure how to lift correctly, please ask somebody for help.

• Do not store the hand controller near heat sources.

• Take particular care to avoid back injury when lifting the unit into and out of the bath, by following safe moving and handling procedures and by separating the Bathmaster Deltis into its individual parts.

blocked for approximately 15 seconds for safety purposes and the bath lift can only be operated with the up pad to travel upwards. Hands should be kept clear of the bath sides, bath floor and the sides of the seat when descending or ascending. Legs and feet should not be tucked under the seat. Ensure the bather’s feet are situated beyond the front legs of the frame.

• Make sure the bathroom floor is dry and free from obstructions to minimise the risk of stumbling, falling and dropping the frame. Placing the seat unit into the bath 1. Ensure that all four suction feet are fitted securely into the frame of the Bathmaster Deltis before lowering it into the bath. 2. Position the seat unit close to the bath to minimise the carrying distance and the eventual lift into the bath.

When sitting on the seat of the Bathmaster Deltis do not push against the bath, such that the front of the bath lift is raised off the floor of the bath, as this will make the bath lift unstable.

3. Lift the seat unit into the bath and position it at the opposite end to the tap fixtures. Ensure the backrest hinges are towards the rear and allow room for the back of the unit to recline.

Once the Bathmaster Deltis is positioned correctly in the bath, it can be used as follows:

4. Ensure all four feet are in contact with the bath surface and are not resting on a bath mat or similar item. Push them securely onto the bottom of the bath.

Ensure the unit is tested first before being used by the bather.

Fitting the backrest to the seat unit (see Fig. 7)

1. Lift the seat unit with the up button on the hand controller (see Fig. 11) so that the side flaps are level with and resting evenly on the rim of the bath (see Fig. 4 & 5).

1. Lay the backrest (without hand controller), face down, against the seat unit so that the hooks on the back rest engage with the catches in the seat unit. 2. Press the back rest lightly at the rear end so that both hooks latch audibly and visibly into the catches.

2. Run the bath water in and check the water temperature.

3. Check the drive mechanism is fully retracted into the column (as shown in Fig. 9). If not, this can be rectified by connecting the hand controller (see below) and pressing the down button.

3. Stand with your back to the bath and sit down on the outer side flap with the seat directly behind you.

4. Lift the front of the backrest and rotate until it is in the recline position.

5. Swing round, raising each leg over the edge of the bath.

4. Slide back until your buttocks are central on the seat.

5. Ensure that the back rest is securely attached to the seat unit and the actuator drive is located within the drive foot retainer before operating the unit.

6. Once you are comfortably seated, using the hand controller, lower the lift into the bath with the down pad on the hand control (D), keeping the hands and feet away from the underneath of the seat.

6. Ensure that once the backrest is upright, it does not touch the rim of the bath. 7. After assembling the back rest flip up the side flaps ensuring that they will not catch under any handles fitted to the bath as the seat rises. If so, side protectors must be used.

7. The unit will stop at the lowest point of travel. To recline the backrest (to a maximum angle of 40°) release the down pad and press again.

Connecting the hand controller

8. When you are in the desired recline position simply release pressure on the pad.

1. Ensure that the connector on the hand controller is completely dry before plugging it into the bath lift.

When bathing is complete, alight from the bath by following steps 9 to 12 below: 9.

2. Attach the jack plug on the cable of the hand controller to the socket on the acuator so that it is fully located (see Fig. 8). 3. Ensure that connectors are fully mated before the bath lift is used.

Use the hand controller to raise the seat to a height where the side flaps lie evenly on the bath rim (see Fig. 4 & 5), ensuring the flaps, and the users hands, do not become caught under any handles fitted into the bath.

10. Swing round, raising each leg over the edge of the bath.

4. Position the hand controller at the side of the bath ensuring that the cable runs clear of the seat and the connector will not become disconnected as a result of the movement of the seat.

11. Slide forwards until your buttocks are on the outer side flap with the seat directly behind you. 12. Stand up with your back to the bath.

5. Operation and safety of the unit are not affected if the hand controller or connector falls into the water during use.

Where possible, it is preferable that the hand controller is operated by the bather rather than an assistant, so they have complete control and can stop movement in case of discomfort. The seat will only move whilst the controller buttons are pressed down.

The bath lift is now ready for use.

Using the unit whilst bathing

Removing the unit from the bath

• Ensure the Bathmaster Deltis is in an upright position and is stable and secure before every use.

Disconnect the hand controller from the lifting mechanism by removing the jack plug from the socket on the drive (see Fig. 8).

• Check the warning light does not illuminate when the hand controller is used. If necessary, recharge the battery prior to use. • Ensure that the unit is tested first before being used by the bather.

Recharge the hand controller if necessary (See Charging the Battery).

• Check that the unit is able to move up and down and recline without obstructions by using the hand controller to raise and lower the unit.

The Bathmaster Deltis may be stored in the bath if convenient. However, should you wish to remove it, follow the procedure below:

• Ensure the water temperature is neither too hot nor too cold.

1. Check the bathroom floor is dry and free from obstructions to minimise the risk of stumbling, falling or dropping the frame.

,

Controlling the bath lift

2. Allow any water to drain from the bath.

Control of the bath lift is achieved exclusively by the hand controller (see Fig 11).

3. Using the down pad lower the bath lift, until the back rest stops in the lowered position (see Fig. 8).

• Press pad (C) to raise the unit and (D) to lower.

4. Fold the side flaps onto the seat (see Fig. 6).

• The control pads have textured arrows, to assist the visually impaired.

5. Pull the back rest at the upper end forwards until it rests on the folded up side flaps on the seat unit (see Fig. 7).

• When the down pad (D) is depressed and the light (A) flashes red, the rechargeable battery in the hand control is not sufficiently charged. The bath lift will not lower and will only raise. Once the lift is in the raised position, the battery in the hand controller must be charged immediately.

6. Give the back rest a small tug at the lower end so that both hooks unlatch and lift the backrest away from the seat and remove from the bath.

• The bath lift can be stopped and used in any position.

7. Hold on to the base plate (Fig. 1, component 9) at the grab handle by the front suction pads and pull up the suction pads by lifting the tabs. Release the rear and the front suction pairs at the same time.

• At any time during the descent or ascent, the lifting mechanism can be stopped by releasing pressure on the switch pad and travel started in the opposite direction by depressing the other pad.

8. Raise the seat unit by the grab handle gently and release the rear suction pads by lifting the tabs enabling the seat unit to be removed from the bath.

• When using the down pad (D) the bath lift travels downwards and then moves the backrest backwards to a maximum of 40°.

Important Do not hold by the drive foot retainer (Fig. 1, component 8) (BE CAREFUL OF THE SEAT LOCKING ARRANGEMENT)

• Whilst using the up pad (C) the lowered backrest moves into the upright position and then the bath lift travels upwards. Emergency Stop (see Fig. 11)

9. Take particular care to avoid back injury when removing the Bathmaster Deltis from the bath. Follow safe moving and handling procedures. Seek help if you are unsure about installing or removing the bathlift safely yourself.

• Only press the “Emergency Stop” pad (B) when the bath lift does not stop immediately after releasing the up or down pads (C or D). • By pressing the “Emergency Stop” pad, all movements of the bath lift will stop immediately.

Important All components of the bath lift must be safely put away and stored.

• If, during descent, the “Emergency Stop” pad is depressed, the down pad is
