4.10 Accessories
(Options)
We recommend BRODA accessories for use only on BRODA chairs. The correct installation of the BRODA
accessory is very important. We recommend that the BRODA chair is ordered with the required accessories already
installed. Only authorized caregivers who thoroughly understand the accessory installation procedures should
attempt to install their BRODA accessories without assistance from their local BRODA representative. BRODA
does not recommend use of other manufacturer’s accessories on BRODA chairs.
4.11 BRODA Tray
The optional BRODA tray is specially designed to work with your BRODA chair. Made of a single piece of durable
ABS plastic, the tray securely slides over the arms of the chair to provide a level surface of meals or activities. A
BRODA strap may be used to prevent the resident from accidentally pushing the tray off the chair. The strap should
be buckled together behind the chair back below the armrests and as close to the level of the chair seat as possible. A
tray strap with a side buckle is also available to meet non-restraining policies
Note: The BRODA tray is not to be used as a restraint. Using the tray as a restraint may cause harm to the
resident, caregiver or third party.
Note: When inserting tray on to chair, ensure that residents’ and caregivers’ body are clear from pinch
points to allow safe insertion of tray

BRODA Thigh Belt
The optional BRODA Thigh Belt is a one piece positioning device used for pelvic positioning.
It leaves the hips and upper torso completely unrestrained. There is no danger
of the patient sliding under the belt as with standard lap belts.
The Thigh Belt should only be used if recommended by the resident’s
primary caregiver and the resident’s family or guardian gives
permission.
To attach the Thigh Belt:
- Locate the front cross piece of the seat frame (under the strapping)
- Starting from under the chair seat, pass one end of
the thigh belt between the second and third strap from the front
of the seat
(figure 4.2)
- Pass the other end of the Thigh Belt though the same
spot in the chair seat. Ensure that the center strap of the
Thigh Belt is looped around the front cross piece of the
seat frame
(figure 4.3)
-One padded section of the Thigh Belt passes over each
thigh. Connect the snap buckles behind the chair.
Do not
fasten around the cylinder or cable behind the chair.
Tighten
the straps as necessary
