Arjo Maxi Move
Arjo · Model Maxi Move
POWERED DPS Powered dynamic positioning system (PDPS) minimises manual handling and improves precision when positioning the patient. COMBI ATTACHMENT The Combi attachment makes it smooth and easy to change between different spreader bars and stretcher frames. DUAL CONTROLS Dual controls on the mast and the hand control. Using the hand control gives the caregiver the opportunity to move and stay close to the patient and maintain good eye contact throughout the lift and transfer process. TELESCOPIC VERTICAL MAST Vertical mast provides stability while the patient is lifted. CASTOR SIZE Three castor sizes available: standard, low and extra-low to facilitate access under low beds and trolleys. SCALE (OPTION) Optional integrated scale supports an efficient weighing routine.
Key tips
- ·Mounting and securement hardware takes real fatigue from vibration and road shock - inspect it as carefully as the device itself.
- ·Post-call battery and function checks catch transport-induced faults that a scheduled PM would miss for months.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Battery / runtime fault
HighSymptoms: Short runtime, low-battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery.
Connector / cable fatigue
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent signal/power.
Root cause: Repeated flexing.
Transport mount / cradle wear
LowSymptoms: Loose device, vibration damage.
Root cause: Docking latch wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Post-call function and battery check
- ·Mounting / securement inspection
- ·Annual full PM and vibration-tolerance check
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Battery / runtime fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically short runtime, low-battery alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged battery.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the rechargeable battery pack per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Transport mount / cradle wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically loose device, vibration damage - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: docking latch wear.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the docking cradle / latch per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
The battery pack NDA0200-20, lot 070826D, sold with the Maxi Move patient lift or as replacement parts, has a defective connector that could lead to the inability of the battery pack to recharge and/or short circuit, resulting in smoke emission.
- RECALL
There is the potential for unintended dislocation of the Lock and Load hanger assembly (Combi Hanger) from the t-bar attached to the lifter jib of the Maxi Move patient lift.
- RECALL
The armrests of the lift chair may push up, allowing the patient to slip down and out of the seat. The resultant fall could result in serious or fatal patient injuries.
- RECALL
The hanger bar assembly may detach from the Maxi Move lifters with scale, due to an incorrect torque setting on the two bolts holding the scale in place.
