DIGI-SEAT SEATING SYSTEM
(Custom Made Device)
Introduction
The
•
Digi-Seat Seating System is a custom made Seating System intended for use with
Standard Wheelchairs.
The
•
maintenance and safety instructions described in this manual should be adhered
to. By following these instructions you will be ensuring correct use of the Digi-Seat
Seating System.
The
•
Digi-Seat Seating System has a customised insert intended for use by a particular
client and should not be used for any other client.
The
•
assessment as to the level of support required by a client will normally be done
through a Special Seating Clinic organised by your Wheelchair Service.
Each
•
system is manufactured for use with a particular wheelchair(s). To make sure
using the Digi-Seat Seating System does not render the wheelchair unsuitable, the
Digi-Seat Seating System and wheelchair should be tested for stability with the client
seated in the equipment (for more details regarding stability of wheelchair and seating
systems, see page 4).
As
•
with most Seating Systems it is advisable to monitor a client’s initial use of the Digi-
Seat Seating System in the early stages of its use. It is recommended that the time
a client sits in the system is controlled, this will vary due to circumstances, but where
possible periods of sitting in the system should not exceed more than 3 hours at any
one time.
Removing
•
the client from the system is advised after such a period to offer a change
of posture. By doing this you will improve a clients tolerance to sitting in the Digi-Seat
Seating System on a daily basis.
It
•
is also important to read the ‘Wheelchair User Manual’ with regard to general use,
transportation use and maintenance.
