Important Reminders

Before using the i-Fit products, please keep the following in mind:
NOTICE
A seat with angle or built-in contours may help keep the user from sliding in
the seat.
WARNING
Use the positioning belts and supports only to help support the user’s posture.
WARNING
Check that the user cannot slide down in the seating system. If this occurs, the
user may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the belts
or harness.
WARNING
The belts, posture support and straps must be snug, but must not interfere with
the client’s breathing.
NOTICE
When traveling in a motor vehicle, it is recommended that wheelchair users
transfer to a vehicle seat and use the vehicle seat belt system or a child safety
seat that complies with federal safety standards. The wheelchair should then be
stored and secured in the vehicle.
WARNING
Never use a chest harness without a positioning belt.
DANGER
Due to possibility of a user sliding while in-chair, unmonitored use of anterior
thoracic support devices could pose a serious choking hazard. Continually ensure
that the user is sitting upright and that the thoracic support device does not
obstruct the user’s breathing in any way.
