Karma Medical Taiwan would always recommend transferring to a
car seat within a vehicle, however should this not be possible, the
following is the safest method:
a. The wheelchair must be positioned in a forward facing position.
b. An Unwin restraint system like model Gemini 3 or a different brand
with equivalent specification must be used.
c. As a car safety belt a Klippan Safety AB belt, model 907428 or a
different brand with equivalent specification must be used.
d. The restraint system must be fixed on the specific points of the
wheelchair, which show a label of a transportation hook.
e. A head restraint system must be fitted during transportation. This
device must be suitably positioned and able to stay on during
transportation.
f. The centre point of gravity of the wheelchair during transportation
should be as low as possible. A powered seat elevator must be in its
drive position, the backrest should be upright, the seat should be in a
horizontal position and the legrest should be positioned in
a normal seating position.
g. During transportation the wheelchair should be switched off to
prevent it from moving by accidental joystick use.
h. Make sure the tire pressure of each wheel of the wheelchair is in
the optimal condition. Too low tire pressure can result in a instable
behavior of the wheelchair during
transportation.
The position belt of a wheelchair is not meant to be used as a car safety
belt. It only prevents the user from sliding out of the seat while driving the
wheelchair. If a user is transported in his wheelchair, he or she should
wear an extra car safety belt, which is attached to the vehicle like all the
car safety belts.
When shipped by boat, please give special attention to prevent contact
