Maintenance and Safety Checks
Routine checks for the carer
Every day, the carer should carry out the following checks to make sure that the seating system
is both safe and comfortable:
• Check that the two retaining straps are not damaged and that they can be securely fastened.
•
Check that the straps and supports are not damaged. For example check the pelvic straps,
the butterfly harness, and the foot straps.
• Check that all buckles can be securely fastened.
•
Check that all adjustable brackets can move freely when they are either operated or adjusted.
For example, check the thoracic supports, the knee blocks, the pommel, the head support
and the foot support brackets.
• Check that the fabric on the Kato Plus is neither damaged nor torn. Damage to the fabric
could cause both localised marking and general discomfort to the user’s skin.
Inspection and maintenance for the wheelchair service provider
The wheelchair service provider should carry out the following checks to make sure that the
seating system is both safe and suitable for the needs of the user:
• Check that all parts of the Kato Plus are working properly and that there are no signs of
damage that could affect the safety of the user or their seating system.
•
Check that cushions and covers are not torn and that do not have sharp edges that could
harm the user.
Any problems should be corrected immediately.
The prescribing clinician or the wheelchair service provider provider should decide how often
these checks are made, taking into account the needs of the user and the intended usage of the
seating system. However, we recommend that these checks are carried out at least every 24
months.
