35 Re-use
If your product has been provided to you by
your funding provider and you no longer re-
quire it, you should report this fact to your
health insurance company or your rehabilita-
tion specialist dealer. Your product can then be
simply and economically re-used.
Prior to each re-use, a technical safety check
must be carried out on the product at
PRO ACTIV or the rehabilitation specialist
dealer. In addition to the instructions contained
in Chapter 32 (Cleaning and care), a thorough
cleaning of all control elements must be carried
out before using it again.
Before the product can be reused, it must be
prepared with care. A disinfection agent that is
suitable for medical products must be sprayed
onto all surfaces that the user may come into
contact with. A liquid, alcohol-based disinfect-
ant for residue-free, quick disinfection (e.g.
Exporit 4712) must be used for this, and the
respective instructions for use of the disinfect-
ant must be observed. In general, a complete
disinfection cannot be guaranteed on the
seams. We therefore recommend that you
dispose of the seat and backrest upholstery.
These preparations will be performed by
PRO ACTIV or the rehabilitation specialist
dealer as part of the technical safety check.
This safety-related check
must
be initiated by
the funding provider.
Moreover, in event of wear or due to adapta-
tion to the new user, components such as the
footrest, seat and back system can be adjusted
or replaced using the modular system. In addi-
tion, the backrest angle is usually adjustable in
seven stages, therefore enabling optimum
adaptation.
