KITCOOL 2.0 is a Class I medical device that meets the performance and safety requirements of
Regulation (EU) No 2017/745 on medical devices.
Regulations
KITCOOL 2.0, with its reclining function and ideal ergonomic adjustment, overcomes this unfairness
by offering greater comfort and well-being to people in manual wheelchairs and therefore fits into a
therapeutic and compensation strategy for the disability.
Compatible with all manual wheelchairs fitted with handles, KITCOOL 2.0 is adapted to situations
requiring compensation for independence, comfort and transfer functions for disabled people affected
by severe and long-term disabilities. Its design is dictated exclusively for use by a disabled person.
From a therapeutic viewpoint, KITCOOL 2.0 reduces conditions related to prolonged seated posture:
• Relieves the back and nape of the neck: the head is held; the shoulders are straightened; neck and
shoulder muscles are relaxed; the spine is supported.
• Opens the thoracic cage: breathing and swallowing are aided. KITCOOL 2.0 position restores the
head to a more favourable position, because a head tilted strongly forward impedes breathing and
swallowing.
• Prevents and reduces bedsores: pressure on the ischia is reduced by 30% to 40% and the maximum
pressure point is moved.
• Eases tension: with better distribution of body weight, the body is relieved.
• Improves blood circulation and venous return: the legs are no longer swollen.
Benoit Systèmes considers the service life to be five years as long as the product is used for its intended
purpose and instructions for use, safety and maintenance are followed. However, this service life can
be exceeded when the product is serviced and maintained carefully and used cautiously, appropriate
to its technical specifications. The service life may also be considerably shortened following extreme
or inappropriate use. The service life set by our company does not constitute an additional guarantee.
