1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction
The Nemo tilting shower-toilet chair is a medical device for caring for and washing
clients in an ergonomically responsible manner . For both the client and the carer,
the comfort is optimal . The Nemo can be used with a commode pan / bucket or in
combination with a toilet, can also be used as a toilet seat . The Nemo consists of a base
and a chair section . The seat section has the same comfort as a normal chair and offers
the same proper support .
The frame of the Nemo has an antibacterial coating . The coating contains silver ions .
Antibacterial coating based on silver ions prevents dangerous micro-organisms such
as bacteria, fungi and algae multiply and spread . The effectiveness was confirmed
in several tests . Germs were demonstrably reduced in a short time to 99 .99% . The
coating only affects bacteria that are found on the surface and not on airborne micro-
organisms . The coating protects users or others from disease-causing bacteria, germs,
viruses or other harmful organisms . On a dirty surface, the coating loses its antibacterial
properties . So proper cleaning and disinfection is still a must .
The expected technical lifetime of the Nemo is 10 years, provided that daily and
periodic maintenance is carried out according to the specified maintenance schedule
(See chapter 4. Cleaning and maintenance)
.
The Nemo is a medical class 1 product with CE marking. This marking is in accordance
with the regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745.
