Discomfort, rash or respiratory distress 

 

The vinyl spray coating is fully cured before leaving the factory.  During shipping in air-
tight packaging residual volatiles can build up.  It is recommended to remove the prod-
uct from the packaging and allow it to air in a well-ventilated room for 24 hours before 
fitting the user in the system. 

 

In rare cases, the user may have a special sensitivity to the residual smell of the vinyl 
spray coating.  When this happens, remove the user from the system and contact the 
manufacturer for alternative solutions. 

 

 

Incorrect application & use of positioning belts and harness systems. 

Throttling, suffocation or strangulation due to sliding forward in the product 

 

Qualified personnel are responsible for individual positioning and fitting of the belt & 
harness positioning systems. 

 

Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for proper application and adjustment of the 
product in the use so that the user cannot slide into a hazardous position. 

 

Adjusting the belt system too loosely can cause the user to slide into a dangerous posi-
tion. In addition, the fastening snaps could open unintentionally if they slide against 
hard parts of clothing (e.g. buttons). 

 

Excessively tight adjustment of the belt system may lead to unnecessary pain or illness 
of the user. 

 

The positioning system has to fit closely but not too tightly so the user is not injured. 
Sliding two fingers comfortably between the positioning system and body should be 
possible. 

 

When using an upper body positioning harness always use a correctly applied and 
adapted positioning lap belt to stabilize the pelvis. 

 

Upper body positioning products harnesses must be applied/positioned so that the 
neck and area of the throat remain free at all times.  

 

 

Altered center of gravity resulting from use of the seating system. 

Risk of tipping over or falling due to unstable settings 

 

When fitting a seat unit to the host mobility product, ensure the user is not seated in it. 
Once the seat is fitted a pull test should be carried out to ensure the seat is correctly fit-
ted and fully secured before the user is seated. 

 

If required, adjust the sitting position or axle position to optimize stability, or alternatively 
assess the suitability of anti-tip devices. 

 

After installing any seating into a wheelchair, always check that the user’s sitting posi-
