Participant Flow

Only Group 1 and Group 2 were actual participants who were enrolled in the study. Data was only collected for Group 1 and Group 2. Group 3 consisted of clinicians (provided the intervention or standard of care to Group 1 and Group 2 participants). Group 3 did not receive any intervention nor were they enrolled in the study. Group 3 only participated in the post intervention/standard of care survey.

Measure	Group 1: Standard of Care Transfer After cardiac catheterization lab or electrophysiology lab procedure, the subject will be moved from one bed to another using the current standard of practice lateral patient transfer methods by nursing staff.	Group 2: SimPull Device Transfer After cardiac catheterization lab or electrophysiology lab procedure, the subject will be moved from one bed to another using the SimPull device. SimPull Lateral Transfer Device: Automated lateral transfer device	Group 3: Clinicians Study clinicians complete a survey after conducting intervention or standard of care on participants.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: A survey was provided to every study clinician who participated in a standard of care lateral transfer or a SimPull lateral transfer. A survey was provided to every study clinician who participated in a standard of care lateral transfer or a SimPull lateral transfer. There were 14 more survey responses in the SimPull group because some of the SimPull transfers required the involvement of more than one of the study clinicians to complete the transfer of the patient.

Measured by a post transfer survey where clinicians indicated how likely they feel they are to be injured during lateral patient transfer using standard transfer methods versus SimPull on a scale of "Not at all likely", "Not likely", "Neutral", "Likely", or "Very Likely."
