RISK PREVENTION
Always apply the brakes when the wheelchair is not moving and for
any transfer or repositioning maneuver. The same rule applies for an
empty chair.
To prevent the patient from slipping out of the chair, the seat tilt must be
adjusted to an angle appropriate for their condition.
To avoid injury during transfers, be sure that:
•
The brakes are applied.
•
The patient’s arms are inside the armrests.
•
The patient’s legs are positioned in the center of the seat.
•
There is no pinch point possible.
•
During transfers, the tilt should be fully forward according to the
initial adjustment (see Adjusting the Tilt-in-Space on Page 14 of the
adjustments section).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important to observe a user’s behavior while moving
to ensure that they do not pose a risk to themself or to others.
These measures are necessary for the safety of both the patient and the
caregiver. Using the tray for restraint purposes is prohibited and may
result in possible strangulation that could cause death. Only the use of
approved and prescribed restraints is acceptable.
Note: Contact us for more information about the installation of positioning
straps.
