handling
must be performed by professionals who have been trained for this
purpose. The caregiver team must ensure that it does not pose a risk to
their safety or that of others.
Before using the chair, caregivers must have received adequate training
from an LPA Medical representative or a trained third party. This instruction
manual will be used as a reference for continuing education.
It is strongly recommended to appoint a caregiver responsible
for training and maintaining an up-to-date list of those who have
received training. For the patient’s safety, anyone who has not received
adequate training should not be allowed to use the chair.
