5. Guidelines for Best Practice
To ensure good practice when considering purchasing a Florien II chair and effective use post purchase we advise that the following
guidelines are considered:
• Seek advice and input from a qualified Occupational Therapist, healthcare professional and/or Direct Healthcare Group representative/
retailer at the initial prescription of the chair.
• Consideration should be given to matching the basic dimensions of the chair to the body size of the occupant to ensure good posture,
support, comfort and safety. Any pressure care, moving and handling, incontinence or infection control issues should be considered
and appropriate advice taken from qualified healthcare professionals.
• Environmental factors should also be considered and assessed and any potential risks or hazards should be identified and taken into
consideration to ensure user safety.
• When any chair is specified we recommend that a risk assessment is conducted to ensure it will be safe and appropriate for the user(s)
of the chair and for all who may find themselves in the vicinity of the chair. Regular reassessment as to the suitability of the product for
the user is important.
• All care-givers that will be supervising the user(s) should be trained in operating the chair to ensure correct positioning of the occupant
is achieved.

Only use accessories recommended by Direct Healthcare Group with the Florien II chair.
