The document outlines a presentation by Peter Charow and Gloria Rentz on safe patient handling equipment from aXtraHand. It discusses the need for such equipment given injury statistics for nursing assistants. It then describes several of aXtraHand's clamping systems that attach IV poles to wheelchairs, beds, and other patient transport equipment to reduce injuries during transport. The document provides details on the features and applications of products like the CH-1003, CH-2000, CH-6000 and CH-7000. It also lists some hospital references that use the equipment and departments that could benefit from it.

2. Is there a need for aXtraHand’s Safe Patient Handling Equipment?
We think so.
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015
Chart 20
Nursing assistants had the highest rate of MSDs
among these occupations with 200 cases per 10,000
full- time workers as well as the highest number
of MSD cases in 2014.
Out of 365,580 MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorders) Cases in 2014 –
Nursing Assistants had the highest incidence of injuries.
Back injury costs range from $5,000 - $100,000.
12% of nurses leave the profession each year due to back injuries.
Over 52% of nurses suffer from chronic back pain.
3. Why not use the IV Pole that’s on the wheelchair or stretcher?
Transferring bags and pumps from the patients IV Pole to
the IV Pole on a wheelchair or stretcher can lead to
inadvertent changes in a pump settings, as well as twisting of
the tubing. Which in turn could poorly effect the patients
health and well-being.
Time may also be a factor. Nurses are primarily the ones
that are required to move all pumps and bags from one IV
Pole to another. A transporter will have to wait for a nurse to
make those changes prior to moving a patient.
With our Clamping Systems – the patients IV
Pole stays with the patient at all times.
4. What are aXtraHand’s safe patient handling products?
Our products are grouped into what we call Clamping Systems
or what some might call an IV Tow.
Our Clamping Systems connect hospitals current patient transport
equipment (wheelchair, stretcher, bed, gurney, rollators, etc…)
to the patients IV Pole.
Our Clamping Systems are made to be:
• affordable,
• easy to install,
• simple to use,
• easy to store away,
• lightweight,
• helpful in reducing patient transport time and
• Most importantly to reduce injuries to patients as well as
transport staff/nurses
5. Our best seller is…
The CH-1003: Wheelchair to IV Pole Clamp
The CH-1003: Wheelchair to IV Pole Clamping System attaches easily to hospitals existing
wheelchairs and their IV Poles.
The Clamping System enables the transporter to focus on moving
the patient in a wheelchair without having to strain themselves
while holding on to the IV Pole.
• Decreases wrist, arm and back strain
• Attaches to either handle
• Decreasing injuries to nurses, transporting personnel and patients
• Accepts standard IV Pole diameters between ¾” to 1 ¼”
• 9 adjustable locking positions
• 240 degree adjustable radius
• Safe and secure
• Made in the USA
6. A great option for large facilities is…
The CH-1003QR: Wheelchair to IV Pole Clamp with Quick Release
CH-1003QR: Wheelchair to IV Pole Clamping System w/Quick Release Pin
The same quality, ease of use and safety as the regular CH-1003 but with a
bit more versatility for being used in larger facilities with hundreds of
wheelchairs.
For example: They have 100 wheelchairs that they would like to incorporate
into their Safety-Quality program. They also have 30 designated
personnel/or departments who will be utilizing these particular wheelchairs.
We would suggest purchasing a CH-1003QR System that includes:
30 of the CH-1003: Wheelchair to IV Pole Clamping System (minus
Locking Bolt and Anchors)
30 of the CH-1003-E: Quick Release Pin
100 of the CH-1003-A: Anchors
• Each wheelchair would be fitted with an Anchor,
• Each person/department would have their own Clamp along with the Quick Release Pin,
• The Clamps can be put on and taken off as needed, the only part that would stay on the wheelchair permanently would be the Anchor.

7. For cleaning and maintenance…
The CH-2000: IV to IV Pole Clamp
The CH-2000: IV to IV Pole Clamping System was designed for maintenance in mind.
No more struggling to move multiple IV Poles at one time. They can simply attach the
CH-2000 to the IV Poles they wish to move and they can bundle them or make a train.
Transport multiple IV Poles from one area to another in a safe and efficient manner.
The IV Pole Locking Clamps can hold standard IV Pole’s ranging from ¾” to 1 ¼”.
Similar to the CH-1003 – it has the same IV Pole Locking Clamp on both ends.
When attached to the 2 IV Poles there is a 20” span from pole to pole.
Made in the U.S.A.
8. The CH-7000: Wheelchair to IV Pole Clamp for larger diameter IV’s (1” to 2”)
The Clamping System enables the transporter to focus on moving
the patient in a wheelchair without having to strain themselves
while holding on to the IV Pole.
• Decreases wrist, arm and back strain
• Attaches to either handle
• Decreasing injuries to nurses, transporting personnel and patients
• Accepts large IV Pole diameters between 1” to 2”
• 9 adjustable locking positions
• 240 degree adjustable radius
• Safe and secure

Connecting to the IV Pole
The HDB Clamp wraps around the entire range of square or round bars, from 2" OD down
to 1" OD, all without marring the equipment.
The unique 2 position latch on the link saves time when switching from a 2" bar to a smaller
bar, just connect to the second latch for the smaller sizes. The quick release handle takes
only 2 turns to be able to drop the locking mechanism, and release the clamp from the bar.
9. The CH-6000: Universal Clamp to IV Pole would fit on most beds, stretchers or
many other types of patient handling equipment that has a round or square bar
(horizontal or vertical) that range between the size of 1” to 2”.
• 9 Adjustable locking positions
• 240 degree adjustable radius
• Accepts standard IV Pole diameters between ¾” to 1-¼”

transport equipment (from 1” to 2”)
