Before First Use WARNING
The BRODA LT Tilt Chair is considered ready to use after purchaser inspection, functional
testing, and when all training requirements have been met by qualified caregivers after receipt of
the Chair. Some assembly might be required as delivered. If the Chair does not appear to be in
“ready to use” condition upon receipt, immediately contact your supplier and do not put the Chair
into service until after your concerns have been resolved.
This manual must be read thoroughly by the caregiver(s) directly responsible for the patient’s
nursing care before the Chair is put into service. This manual must also be read thoroughly by
new caregivers, prior to the first time a new caregiver operates or moves the Chair, once the
Chair has been put into service. The patient’s family members, who share some of the
responsibility for the patient’s care, are considered a caregiver only after they have read this
manual, received instruction on the Chair’ safe use by a professional caregiver, and a caregiver
directly responsible for the patient’s care has given their approval.
The Chair must be visually inspected for damage, missing parts, and loose fittings (fasteners)
prior to first use or testing the Chair’ functions. Functional testing must be successfully completed
after visual inspection and before first use. These obligations apply both to the first use of the
Chair and to all subsequent uses.
An in-service on the operation and safety issues, as described in this manual, must be given to
the patient’s caregivers prior to its first use.
1.2
