8.4 Cleaning and disinfection
The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with a
slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or dust that has
accumulated around the motors should be blown or dusted
away.
CAUTION!
Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it becomes
wet or damp after cleaning or if it is used in a wet or damp
atmosphere.
DANGER!
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more than
one person it is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no cross
infection.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user
must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorised/
recommended in your country, for rapid alcohol-based
disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which
must be disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer’s instructions for the
disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on
seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and
back slings to avoid micro-bacterial contamination with active
agents according to your local infection protection law.
CAUTION!
•
Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents,
wax polishes or aerosols.
•
Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by their
manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried
thoroughly.
WARNING!
•
Always read the label on any commercial or domestic cleaning
substances.
•
Always follow the instructions carefully.
Cleaning controls:
Should the control of your wheelchair become soiled or dirty, it
can be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant until
clean.
DANGER!
Important: If the wheelchair is to be used by more than one
person, follow the cleaning and disinfection instructions carefully
to ensure that there is no cross infection.
8.5 Medium to long term storage:
When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in
excess of one week), follow these simple instructions:
•
Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
•
Disconnect the charger.
•
Disconnect the batteries.
WARNING!
Never store your wheelchair:
•
Outside.
•
In direct sunlight, (plastic parts may discolour).
•
Near a source of direct heat.
•
In a damp environment.
•
In a cold environment.
•
With the batteries/battery boxes connected, (even if the
controller is switched off).
Avoiding all of the above will minimise battery deep cycle
discharge and extend battery lifetime.
When returning the wheelchair to use, please reconnect the
batteries/battery boxes and charge the wheelchair for at least
24 hours before use.
Storage Temperature: Min: -40ºC Max: 65ºC
No restrictions on humidity and air pressure.
