Storing, Cleaning And Maintenance Of The Parapodium. 

 

The  Dynamic  Parapodium  is  a  mechanical  device,  which  framework  is  made  of  steel  coated  with  lacquer  and 

chromium according to PN-93/C-81515 and PN-83/H-97006. The soft elements are made of foam-filled leather (ecological 
leather) or velour upholstery. 

 

Parapodium,  as  any  medical  device,  should  be  cleaned  regularly  and  used  according  to  the  manufacturer’s 

instructions. 

 

Recommendations concerning storing 

The device should be stored in a dry, air-conditioned room, in which the relative humidity is not higher than 80%. 

 

Recommendations concerning cleaning and maintenance: 

 

 

Lacquer  coated  surfaces  should  be  cleaned  with  a  damp  piece  of  cloth.  Adding  mild  detergents  used  to  clean 
household appliances is acceptable.

 

 

Leather upholstery should be cleaned and conserved with special agents used to clean leather clothing

 

 

 

Velour upholstery should be washed at 40°C with water containing mild detergents used to wash underwear and 
coloured clothing.

 

 

 

Metal  surfaces  should  be  cleaned  with  alcohol.  The  case  of  cutting  the  metal  layer  should  be  reported  to  the 
service point and a safety layer should be put on. Moreover, any trace of corrosion should also be reported.

 

 

In case of using the parapodium In hospitals and clinics by many patients, and their regulations do not contradict it 
is recommended to disinfect the handles (with alcohol) before giving the device to another patient. It is not allowed 
to the patient to have contact with the upholstery unless different upholstery is being used for each patient. 

 

2.7

 

Safety precautions 

 

 

The device must not be overturned, thrown or dragged with the patient or without him.

 

 

 

Beside the fact that the device was made of non-flammable materials you should pay attention while closing to the 
fire sources.

 

 

 

Occurrence of corrosion points does not influence the safety but lowers the aesthetic. The manufacturer does not 
allow to use a corroded device. The upper layer guarantees safety for 24 months against corrosion.
