BRODA Tray
The optional BRODA tray is specially designed to work with your BRODA chair. The tray securely slides over the
arms of the chair to provide a level surface of meals or activities. A BRODA strap may be used to prevent the
resident from accidentally pushing the tray off the chair. The strap should be buckled together behind the chair back
below the armrests and as close to the level of the chair seat as possible. A tray strap with a side buckle is also
available to meet non-restraining policies
The clear tray is excellent for residents who may be agitated, as it allows them to see their feet.
Note: The BRODA tray is not to be used as a restraint
5.0 INSPECTION and FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Safety measures as described in Section 1 must be observed when inspecting or testing a chair. Only authorized
caregivers or maintenance staff should attempt to inspect or test a chair.
5.1 Inspection
We recommend regular visual inspection for signs of wear, damage, loose or missing fittings, and other safety
concerns. If a breakage, defect, or operational problem is detected, the chair must be repaired inspected and tested
for function before it is returned to service.
We recommend that the chair be inspected as often as each use if there is any reason to be concerned about the
possibility of increased wear or loose or missing fittings.
At a minimum, in regular use the chair should be
inspected on a bimonthly basis.
The visual inspection procedure should include at least the observation of each of
the fittings (fasteners).
The visual inspection procedure should include at least the observation of the following parts:
1)
The auto locking mechanism (Check for signs of wear on the auto locking plate)
2)
The cushions
3)
The caregiver lock and manual lock out plate
4)
The armrest height adjustment pins
We recommend the visual inspection procedure should include the observation of any installed accessory such as the
Broda Tray.
5.2 Functional Testing
We recommend that the chair should be tested for operation of the chair’s functions without a resident in the
chair.
The testing may be as often as each use if there is any reason to be concerned about the possibility of
increased wear or damage to the chair’s components. At a minimum, in regular use the chair should be tested for
functions as described in Sections 4.1 to 4.9.
If the caregiver or maintenance department performing the functional testing believes that any function is not
operating correctly, the chair should be taken out of service until a satisfactory functional test can be completed.
