Antano Group Ulisse Patient Hoist Analysis Report
Device Identification
The product examined in the visuals is a mobile patient hoist system that enables the safe transfer of patients with mobility limitations from a bed, wheelchair, or the floor. The product consists of a metal chassis, a lifting arm (boom), a hydraulic/electronic piston, a control unit, and a wheeled base structure.
Brand and Model Information
The labels and markings on the product have been examined in detail. The findings are as follows:
- Brand: The inscription ANTANO GROUP, written vertically in blue on the vertical mast of the lifting arm, is clearly visible.
- Model: The word ULISSE has been identified on the base of the device’s lower chassis, and the inscription G 180 on the upper lifting arm. In light of this information, the product has been visually confirmed to be the Antano Group Ulisse G 180 model.
Patient Hoist Component Analysis
In accordance with your instructions, the hoist and its components have been evaluated separately:
- Patient Hoist Brand-Model: Antano Group Ulisse G 180
- Battery/Control Box Brand-Model: A grey control box is visible on the mast in the visuals. Although it has warning labels and a logo, the brand name could not be read with 100% certainty due to visual resolution, so the brand is not specified.
- Motor (Actuator) Brand-Model: A grey/metallic linear actuator, which performs the lifting operation, is present. The brand label is not clear from a visual perspective.
- Handset Brand-Model: A grey hand control with a coiled cable and up and down arrow buttons is present. The brand inscription could not be identified from the visual.
Originality and General Condition
The product bears the typical design language of the Antano Group brand, featuring a white chassis and blue logo. The metal craftsmanship, weld points, and the compatibility of the plastic components indicate that the product is an original factory-produced item. No signs of aftermarket or homemade modifications have been observed. The device is generally in a used but clean condition.
Areas of Use
This device is used in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care environments for the transfer of bedridden or mobility-impaired patients. It is specifically designed to reduce the physical burden on caregivers during transfers from bed to wheelchair or stretcher.
Quantity Information
The visuals show 1 unit of the patient hoist in its entirety.
Physical Deformation and Cosmetic Condition
Upon detailed examination of the device’s outer casing:
- The general condition of the white paint on the metal parts is good, although there may be minor wear and tear due to use in places.
- No obvious rust, deep scratches, dents, or warping in the skeletal structure are visible.
- The plastic covers and connection points appear sturdy.
Mechanical and Electronic Components
Mechanical Components: The device’s wheels (brake mechanisms are visible on the rear wheels), chassis connection points, and sling hanger hooks are in place and intact.
Electronic Components: The device has an integrated electronic motor and control unit. The cables (handset and motor cable) are coiled, and no breaks or pinches have been visually detected. A red Emergency Stop button is located on the control unit and appears physically sound.
Accessories and Missing Parts
The main body of the device, its motor, control box, and handset are present. However, the sling, in which the patient is seated, is not included in the visuals. This part must be acquired separately for the device to be usable.
Battery Status
The grey box hanging on the device’s mast is the module housing the battery and control unit. An external charging cable is not visible in the visuals (these models are typically charged with a plug). The internal structure of the battery, its charge retention capacity, or battery life cannot be determined by visual analysis.
Labels and Warning Signs
Label details identified on the device:
- On the Mast: Blue “ANTANO GROUP” brand imprint.
- On the Boom (Arm): “G 180” model code.
- On the Base: “ULISSE” model name.
- On the Control Box: Blue-background warning labels and warning symbols similar to “Achtung” (Caution) are visible.
Potential Failure Risk and Evaluation
Based on the data obtained from the visuals, no breaks or dangerous conditions that would impede usage have been observed in the device’s cable connections, motor shaft, or carrying chassis. However, since the hoist’s lifting mechanism (motor) cannot be visually tested for functionality, its mechanical condition has been evaluated as “appears sound”.
