9 Maintenance
9.1 Maintenance introduction
The term “Maintenance“ means any task performed to
ensure that a medical device is in good working order
and ready for use as intended. Maintenance encompasses
different areas, such as everyday care and cleaning,
inspection checks, repair tasks and refurbishment.
Have your vehicle checked once a year by an
authorized Invacare provider in order to maintain its
driving safety and roadworthiness.
9.2 Cleaning the mobility device
When cleaning the mobility device, pay attention to the
following points:
•
Only use a damp cloth and gentle detergent.

Do not use any abrasive or scouring agents.
•
Do not subject the electronic components to any direct
contact with water.
•
Do not use any high-pressure cleaning devices.
Disinfection
Spray or wipe disinfection using a tested and recognised
product is permitted. A list of the current permitted
disinfectants is available from the Robert Koch Institute at

9.3 Inspection checks
The following table lists inspection checks that should be
performed by the user and their intervals. If the mobility
device fails to pass one of the inspection checks, refer to
