Lateral Stability
USERS MUST NOT
lean over the edge of a Raz Shower Chair as this
could cause the chair to tip.
USERS MUST NOT
attempt to pick up objects from the floor by leaning
over and reaching
– use a reacher or ask for assistance from an
attendant
.
USERS MUST NOT
position the Raz Shower Chair on a side slope as
this could cause it to tip.
Rearward Stability
USERS MUST NOT
wheel up an
incline on
a
SP600 without
ensuring that the optional rear anti-tippers are in place. The optional
anti-tippers must be ordered with the Raz-SP600 and properly
installed before wheeling on uneven surfaces.
Anti-Tippers
– SP600
Anti-tippers are an option for the Raz-SP600. These are
recommended whenever the chairs are to be used on uneven
surfaces such as ramps or sloped floors, when used by lower-limb
amputees, when the rear wheels are moved forward from the factory-
set position or for any situations when rearward stability is
compromised.
Ramps and Other Inclines
Ramps and other surfaces that are not level (such as slopes into
wheel-in showers) must be tested with an attendant to ensure that
they don
’t compromise the chair’s stability. A qualified healthcare
professional should be consulted to assist with this process.
DO NOT push or pull the Raz-AP600 up or down an incline or
ramp that exceeds a 1:12 grade (5° slope)
.
DO NOT
allow any user to be propelled (pushed or pulled) in a
Raz-AP600 Shower Chair in any other manner than by an attendant.
THE REARWARD STABILITY OF THE RAZ-SP600 IS AFFECTED BY THE MOUNTING LOCATION OF
THE REAR WHEELS, THE PHYSICAL AND CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE USER AND THE
ANGLE OF THE BACKREST. THE NEED FOR ANTI-TIPPERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETERMINED AT
THE TIME OF THE PRESCRIPTION OF THE RAZ- SP600 WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE USER
’S
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES AND ENVIRONMENT. ANTI-TIPPERS MAY BE ORDERED AS A RETROFIT AT
ANY TIME IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED.
Immersion
The Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair is not designed to be used
as a pool chair. Do not immerse the shower chair in whole or in part,
in water or any other liquid. Immersion may result in damage to the
shower chair.
