Inspecting & Reissuing of Equipment
Most JCM Seating Solutions Ltd. products are individually assessed for a client
prior to issue. They are handed over in a controlled way to ensure optimum fit and
specification, checks are completed and any additional individual verbal instructions
given. We therefore recommend the following points are adhered to prior to any re-
issue of equipment:
Cleaning
Follow a rigorous process of cleaning in
order to decontaminate the product and
eliminate the chance of cross infection.
Assessment of Fabrics / Foams
Carefully assess the condition of fabrics
and foams in the seating product, and have
these replaced partially or even completely
if need be. In severe cases if the chassis is
worn and the seating in poor condition
it may be necessary to have the product
re-furbished by the manufacturer. In very
severe cases if the chassis is badly worn and
the seating in very poor condition then the
product should be decommissioned and
disposed of.
Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Decomissioning
If your product is set up with an electrical
function you should always contact JCM
or your authorised representative for de-
comissioning information.
Appropriateness of Equipment
Check that the equipment supplied is
appropriate for the needs of the user
taking age, weight, ability, diagnosis, and
any other important factors into account.
For instance, JCM Seating Solutions Ltd.
products may not be suitable for persons
with severe challenging patterns of
behaviour. Also ensure safe specified limits
for use are not exceeded by the new user.
Your sales representative can advise on the
suitability of the equipment.
Manuals and Records
Ensure this instruction manual and any
additional manuals for the seating unit
are handed over to the new user with
the equipment and ensure the servicing
log history is up to date. Records on the
new user must be updated to maintain
traceability.
Inspection
The equipment should have a rigorous
inspection prior to the reissue, to
include the points covered in the six
monthly routine check, regardless of if
the checks were recently completed. The
equipment should be free of excessive
wear or distortion in any aspect of its main
construction or accessories.
Condition
Wheels, tyres and brakes must be in good
working condition, properly adjusted and
inflated as appropriate.
