User Manual
POSITIONING AIDS
•
All use of positioning aids such as positioning belts or chest harnesses must be assessed by the
care provider according to healthcare regulations.
•
There is a risk of the user sliding forward in the wheelchair and becoming caught in a chest harness.
A harness must always be used in combination with a positioning belt. See also Section 4.5.
•
Always read the user manual from the manufacturer of the positioning aid.
RISK OF TIPPING
•
Do not hang bags, oxygen bottles, or other items on the seat back.
•
Some users have involuntary movements, or are very active, and want to grab hold of solid
objects (e.g. door frames). Use caution with these users and ensure that you are aware when their
behaviour can tip the wheelchair. Avoid parking near fixed objects.
RISK OF PINCHING
• As the wheelchair has many different configuration options the caregiver must be alert to the user’s
position in the chair, to avoid the possibility that the user could be pinched. The risk of pinching is
small under normal circumstances.
• Keep in mind that the user cannot always communicate that a pinching injury is occurring.
LIFTING
This advice is general since there are many different lifting aids available.
• When lifting in and out of the wheelchair be very attentive that the user’s arms and legs do not get
caught. Fold in the footrests or remove them so that they do not get in the way. Follow the lifting aid
instructions carefully.
• Training is often required to operate the lifting aid.
CE MARKED ACCESSORIES, CUSTOMIZING
• HD Rehab has a number of CE-marked accessories that are authorized for use with the wheelchair
while maintaining the CE marking. There are also combination agreements covering accessories
from other manufacturers that are approved for use with HD Motion while maintaining the CE
marking. Accessories that have not been approved may not be used.
• Any change to the wheelchair or use of accessories that are not certified and CE-marked by HD
Rehab is a special adaptation and a transfer of liability occurs. Specially adapated wheelchairs do not
retain CE marking and the warranty is void. Always consult HD Rehab if unsure about what applies.
Help is available for special adaptations for individual users.
DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK
To ensure that the wheelchair works as it should, a daily function test should be performed before the
user is positioned in the seat. See section
6.1 Daily functional check
.
REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SERVICE
If the wheelchair is in need of replacement parts or service contact the reseller.
