Rise II & Rise III - Elevating Shower-, Commode- & Care Chair with Tilting Seat
The Rise II & Rise III Shower-, Commode- & Care Chairs accommodate the needs of both the user and the
helper.
The electrical elevation (Seat height 54 cm – 95 cm) makes it possible to avoid lifting the user with a
traditional sling. By elevating the seat to match the height of the bed or wheelchair, most users can transfer
themselves sideways to/from the Rise. For weak patients use of a transfer board may be advantageous.
The electrical elevating function enables the helper to obtain an ideal working position during toileting,
showering and personal hygiene routines. This allows the user to enjoy his/her daily shower, etc. without
feeling that they are a burden to the helper, thus contributing to less stressful care routines.
The elevating function combined with the seat, which can be tilted forward and backward, also enables the
Rise II™ to help the user to a standing position. This is possible because the chair not only lifts the seat up
to 38 cm (15 in.) but, at the end of the elevating cycle, the user may be tilted forwards about 20 cm (8 in.). In
this way Rise, in the same way as typical catapult seats, may help the user to move their body’s centre of
gravity to a point directly above their feet. Getting to this vertical position is often one of the most difficult
problems for persons with limited walking or standing ability.

Rise Shower-, Commode & Care Chair is simple & logical to use. However, you must read the following
instructions carefully:
Assembly:
Rise is delivered assembled. The only thing you have to do is to mount the charging station

Lifting:
The lifting function is electrical. Power is supplied by a 24 volt battery (NiMh) with a
capacity of 1,3 Ah, sufficient for 25-30 full lifting cycles when fully charged.
Pressing the corresponding button on the hand control activates lifting and lowering. As
soon as the button is released, movement stops. During movement, the green lamp on the
hand controls is activated. When the battery has reached a level where remaining power is
sufficient for approx. 5 lifting cycles, the hand control give an acoustic warning signal.
