NOTE:
The footrests must be tilted
back and away from the front of the
wheelchair. The wheel locks must be
fully engaged.
DO NOT
reach or lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects.
This may cause serious injury. For this procedure position the wheelchair as
close as possible to the desired object that you wish to reach, point the casters
forward to create the longest possible wheelbase, and reach back only as far as
your arm will extend without changing your seating position.
3.4 CHAIR-A-TABLE SYSTEM
The Martin Innovations Chair-A-Table system is a patient transfer method from a
wheelchair to an exam table. With the aid of an attendant, the Martin Chair is an
accessory that docks with the Martin Exam Table without the patient ever leaving
the seat of the wheelchair.
NOTE: This is a reference for the attendant or patient to use as a checklist
to ensure proper procedures are taken as the Martin Chair docks with the
Martin Exam Table.
1) Ensure the patient positioning strap (optional) is securely fastened.
2) Ensure the attendant locks the wheel locks after chair is rolled over table.
3) Before docking, ensure the attendant raised the wheelchair footrest before
examination.
4) Ensure the attendant installs the accessory rails and bed rails after
removal of the side frames.
