Critical Safety Mechanisms
The critical safety mechanisms of the device required for it to be operated safely includes the
functionality of the primary lock, secondary locking mechanism, carrier latch, and the unit
’ s ability to
maintain safe bathing temperature.
The c arrier base’s primary lock (the latch on th e front left of the carrier rails) must be able to securely
latch on to the chair when it is rolled to the front of the base. If the chair can move while on the carrier,
it’s possible the primary latch is disengaged or has failed.
The secondary locking mechanism on the chair (The shafts located beneath the chair with rods sticking
out of either side) must automatically move upwards when not actively forced downward. If this
mechanism is operating correctly then the chair should become “trapped” in the chan nels located on
the tub and carrier rails until the secondary release handle is pulled.
The carrier latch located on the plate to the front of the tub’s frame needs to be able to securely latch
onto the carrier base ’ s pin. If the carrier is pushed into the latch it should not be possible to release the
carrier from the tub without pulling the emergency release handle or operating the release button.
The equipment must produce water at a safe bathing temperature. The primary safety mechanism for
this is the
use of a temperature and pressure balanced valve that’s factory set to prevent filling at
temperatures at or above 110°f. If the filling temperature of the tub ever exceeds 110°f then the
adjustment of this valve needs to be corrected. None of the above-mentioned mechanisms are
susceptible to EM disturbances. Please Note: device software prevents filling above 105°f.
In the event of an AC line voltage surge, an ESD event, or Rf Electro-magnetic interference, the unit will
maintain its normal operation or shut down in a manner that will not expose a patient to physical harm.
