Warning (indicates a dangerous situation)
Manufacturer (additionally, year of manufacture on the handlebar)
Order number
Maximum user weight
The mobile MOBELI grab handles comply with the directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices of class I.
Batch designation
Allergy Notice:
The high-quality rubber pads contain natural rubber latex.
Natural rubber latex can cause allergic reactions including anaphylactic reactions.
1.3 Intended use
As grab handle or stand-up handle for adults and children. The angel angle adjustable handrail has been developed
to support natural movement.
They are not designed to carry the full body weight.
Any other use, e.g. as a seat, carrying handle or climbing aid, is not permitted.
1.4 Application range of the product
As grab handle for largely independent use indoors, as in shower cubicles, bath tubs, toilets, and at washbasins.
For the vacuum suction generated by the rubber pads to be effective,
the grab handle may only be attached
to
smooth and non-porous rigid surfaces that are pore- and steam-tight, clean, dry, and free of oils and grease.
On rough or porous surfaces, the vacuum hold will be diminished or does not exist at all. Please bear in mind that
tiles are not necessarily always smooth and steam-tight (i.e., suitable for vacuum generation).
Test your tiles and the wall prior to use
(with the help of another person, if necessary).
Since the MOBELI vacuum suction pads are made from strongly adhesive and flexible natural rubber, they can
usually adapt to slightly textured tiles. (Attention, reduced holding time! Pay attention to the safety indicator!)
The mobile grab handle is ideally suited for use at home where there are no permanently fixed rails, e.g. for short-
term use after a stay in hospital or for testing of a new accommodation. It is also well suited at hospitals and nursing
homes as an additional and short-term supplement for stationary rails.
The mobile grab handle can also be used where it is not possible to install permanent rails, e.g. in glass shower
cubicles or in bathtubs. or if drilling in walls is not allowed (or not possible), e.g. in a rented flat or in a wall where
water and/or power lines can be located. Also, during doctor's visitations, office visits, journeys etc., the MOBELI
grab handle finds its ideal use.
1.5 For your information
In hotels and public establishments in Europe, tiles must be non-porous and steam-tight (as per DIN/EN 159 and
176). According to the tile adhesives material standard DIN 12004, tile adhesives must have a minimum adhesive
strength of 0.5 N/mm². E.g., for two tiles with a tile size of 147 mm x 147 mm x 0.5 N/mm², this would result in an
adhesive strength of approx. 2,160 kg. Even with an effective adhesive surface of only ⅓ of the tile surface (e.g.,
due to a rough serrated trowel) and tile joints not filled-in, there would still be an adhesive strength of approx.
700 kg.
Unfortunately, though, one cannot always rely on this assumption; therefore, it is absolutely indispensable to test
the adhesive strength of the respective tiles or other surface materials on the wall.
Furthermore, due to material aging or in prefabricated construction there might be a reduction of the adhesive
power, therefore testing is essential (e.g., by abrupt application of force).
