10. Using the chair
Clean the chair before first-time use!
It must be ensured that the chair is in a proper and
safe condition before use.
If necessary, depending on the
patient’s limitations (adequate
mobility and muscle strength),
sitting down and standing up may be
done only with the assistance of an
attendant. Subsequent adjustments
may be carried out only by a
specialist!
10.1 Sitting down
Before sitting down it must be assured that the chair
is stable and secured against slipping away and
unfolding. The four castors must be locked and
both armrests
must be securely latched in position.
Also the seat must be properly in place and the foot
plates must be moved to the side or folded up.
The patient must be positioned as near to the
chair as possible. By firmly holding on to the
armrests, the patient must then slowly sit down onto
the seat. If this is not possible due to physical
limitations, then the patient must be assisted by an
attendant.
In the event support cannot be sufficiently provided,
then it is necessary to use lift equipment, or a
patient lifter.
Danger of falling!
Dropping onto the chair seat must be avoided. The
patient must sit as much as possible over the entire
seat surface, and not only on the seat edge.
When transporting a person, the surface of the seat
and the backrest must be used as much as possible.
10.2 Standing up
Before standing up, it must be certain that the chair
is stable and secured against slipping away or
tipping over. The four wheels must be locked,
both armrests must be latched in position, the
footrests swiveled to the side or folded up, and the
patient must be sitting vertically (inclination setting
and the chair at the lowest position).
The patient must move forward on the seat surface
until the feet are flat on the floor.
By supporting him/herself firmly on the
armrests, the patient must then slowly get up from
the chair. The patient must not lean too far forward
in order to avoid the risk of falling down.
The patient should seek the assistance of an
attendant whenever standing up.
Danger of falling!
When sitting down or standing up (leaving the
chair), the patient must never stand on the footrests!
10.3 Sitting and laying down at the low position
&
When changing the inclination angle, the
safety belt first must be used (see Section 9.7 on
page 8). Moreover all four castor brakes must be
engaged (locked) beforehand (Section 10.5,
Schematic 1).
