vehicles for transportation and make use of the restraints made available
by the auto industry. KARMA cannot and does not recommend any
powered wheelchair transportation systems. It is the responsibility of the
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Dealer, therapists and other
healthcare professionals to determine if a seat positioning strap is
required to ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the user.
