CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
6. Cleaning and disinfection
Clean all areas that come in contact with user or caregiver with a disinfectant solution. To prevent the
spread of germs, disinfectant wipes should be used on a regular basis. Keep frame dry and apply a
non-toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant to all moving parts. After longer storage periods,
and before further use, the entire chair needs to be serviced, cleaned and disinfected. Follow the
guidelines of each country and region.
Cleaning of frame
Frame is to be kept dry and free of dirt and should be wiped off with a non-toxic, hypoallergenic
and biodegradable wipe. Lubricant should be applied to moving parts as needed to maintain easy
folding and adjustment. All contact with salt water should be avoided. If the chair is used in salt-water
environments corrosion may occur. In the event of salt-water exposure, the frame should be wiped
off with a moist towel as soon as possible. Water and a soft cloth are sufficient; lubricant should be
reapplied to all moving parts.
Cleaning of wheels and brakes
Wheels and locks should be kept free of dirt or mud after each use. Foreign objects could cause
interference with moving parts. Wipe wheels and locks with a moist cloth as needed.
