Safety
•
The NAS-Zero gives you some ability to move your arm.
Inevitably, this results in certain dangers that the user and
any carer must assess for themselves and take reasonable
precautions against. The following is a list of potential
dangers that Neater Solutions Limited has identified.
Please read this list and all other instructions carefully, but
be aware that there may be other dangers that we have
not identified.
•
Ensure that you have control over the freedom of movement the
NAS-Zero gives you so that your arm or parts of the mechanism
do not cause any danger to yourself or others.
•
Avoid moving or lifting any object that might be dangerous if
dropped or spilt - such as scalding hot liquids or cigarettes.
Though the NAS-Zero itself is made of flame resistant materials,
your clothes may not be and the NAS-Zero will not prevent a burn
should you drop such an object that you then cannot reach to
retrieve.
•
Be aware that other dangers could exist in using the NAS-Zero
depending upon your circumstances. For instance, using it to help
you eat could result in choking if you have difficulty with
swallowing.
•
Ask a physiotherapist to advise you on the use of the NAS-Zero.
Its use is usually of therapeutic benefit, but prolonged use could
strain you. In particular:
o
Ensure that the full travel of the NAS-Zero arm up and down does
not cause you discomfort or even damage to your shoulder or
other joints.
o
Start by using the NAS-Zero for only one hour per day and then
slowly build up your use of the device.
•
Do not use the NAS-Zero in any way that could cause danger if
the mechanism were to jam.
•
NAS-Zero is designed to comply with the essential
requirements of the Medical Devices Directive Class 1
(Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European
Parliament
and
of
the
Council
of
April
2017).
•
Please keep the NAS-Zero away from dirty, abrasive or corrosive
environments eg: avoid taking onto a beach.
