Introduction
Medifab recommends that a clinician such as an Occupational or Physio Therapist
that is skilled in wheelchair seating and positioning be consulted to determine if
the Spex Medial Thigh Support is appropriate for the user. The intended user of the
Medial Thigh Support is a user with postural support requirements.
Safety Instructions
To avoid injury, read, understand and follow all instructions and warnings in this
manual before installing and using the Spex Medial Thigh Support. There are hazards
associated with the use of wheelchairs and adaptive equipment. If you misuse your
wheelchair or your Medial Thigh Support you can be seriously injured. If your Medial
Thigh Support ceases to function as intended, please consult your authorised Spex seat-
ing supplier immediately before continuing to use.

Compatibility
•
Spex Medial Thigh Support has been designed to be compatible with most wheel-
chairs.
•
If the wheelchair has no access to the seat pan, the Medial Thigh Support will not be
compatible. This occurs on some power wheelchair models.
Disposal & Recycling
Your Spex Seating System is manufactured using a variety of materials, of which most
can be recycled. Once it reaches the end of its life, if you are the legal owner, do not
dispose of as ordinary household waste but take your Spex system to an approved recy-
cling or collection point, to dispose of according to local laws and regulations.
Separate collection and recycling of the Spex System when disposing ensures protection
of the environment and assists with natural resource conservation.
