GUIDELINES FOR INDIVIDUAL ADAPTATION OF MERCADO MEDIC AB’s PRODUCTS
Adjustments may be made only by staff who have completed Mercado Medic AB's training for service and
reconditioning. Parts that are on the list of current combination agreements at
www.mercado.se/mercado-dokument
may be fitted while retaining Mercado Medic AB’s CE marking. Before
fitting a part that is not on the list of current combination agreements, the customer’s authorised personnel must
contact Mercado Medic AB for written approval.
Parts to be evaluated must be sent physically to Mercado Medic AB, either by the customer or the supplier of
the part in question. Mercado Medic AB will then contact the supplier of the part in question; if a combination
agreement is deemed to be of interest, Mercado Medic AB performs a risk analysis on the part. Once the risk
analysis is complete, the customer receives a written opinion.
Chairs that have been modified according to the following must be verified by Mercado Medic AB for Mercado
Medic AB to retain product liability.
• Padded parts such as seats, backrests, armrests, side supports, trunk supports and headrests can be
adapted so long as they do not exceed the existing external dimensions on the product.
• The centre of gravity over lifting devices must be maintained/centred for optimum function.
• Padded parts must be able to withstand the applicable flammability requirements and other
environmental requirements.
• Surfaces that are loaded with significant vertical forces must not fall outside the area (base) that is formed
by the points of the castor centres.
If these guidelines are met, Mercado Medic AB retains the product liability for its product.
Products that are specially modified by the health care services outside Mercado Medic AB’s directive, where
the health care services also take over the product liability, can be restored to their original condition. This must
be carried out by an authorised technician approved by Mercado Medic AB. Mercado Medic AB then takes back
product liability in accordance with the CE marking 93/42 EEC; Medical Devices Directive MDD.
