WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of wheelchairs to
meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair to be used
by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making
such a selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS
Wheelchair users should NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of
this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for
transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating
in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto
industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on
this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly
recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair
user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning strap only. It is not designed for use as a safety
device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear,
strap MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
With regards to seat/chest positioning straps - it is the obligation of the DME dealer, therapists
and other healthcare professionals to determine if a seat/chest positioning strap is required to
ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of
a fall from a wheelchair.
