8 Maintenance
8.1
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 authorised
Invacare dealer in order to maintain its driving safety and
roadworthiness.
8.2
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 http://www.rki.de.
8.3
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 the chapter indicated or contact
your authorised Invacare dealer. A more comprehensive list of
inspection checks and instructions for maintenance work can be
found in the service manual for this device, which can be obtained
from Invacare. That manual, however, is intended to be used by
