3D MODULAR SEATING SYSTEM
(Class 1 Device)
Introduction
The
•
3D Modular Seating System is a Modular Seating System intended for use with
Standard Wheelchairs.
The
•
maintenance and safety instructions described in this manual should be adhered
to. By following these instructions you will be ensuring correct use of the 3D Modular
System.
The
•
3D Modular Modular Seating System is a Class 1 Device with a customised insert
intended for use by a particular client and should not be used for any other client.
The
•
assessment as to the level of support required by a client will normally be done
through a Special Seating Clinic organised by your Wheelchair Service.
Each
•
system is manufactured for use with a particular wheelchair(s). To make sure
using the 3D Modular System does not render the wheelchair unsuitable, the 3D
Modular System and wheelchair should be tested for stability with the client seated in
the equipment (for more details regarding stability of wheelchair and seating systems,
see page 4).
As
•
with most Seating Systems it is advisable to monitor a client’s initial use of the 3D
Modular System in the early stages of its use. It is recommended that the time a client
sits in the system is controlled, this will vary due to circumstances, but where possible
periods of sitting in the system should not exceed more than 3 hours at any one time.
Removing
•
the client from the system is advised after such a period to offer a change of
posture. By doing this you will improve a clients tolerance to sitting in the 3D Modular
System on a daily basis.
It
•
is also important to read the ‘Wheelchair User Manual’ with regard to general use,
transportation use and maintenance.
