8.3 Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the
user must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid
alcohol-based disinfection of medical products and medical
devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer’s instructions or
the disinfectant you are using.
CAUTION!
• Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic
detergents, wax polishes or aerosols.
• Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by the
manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried
thoroughly.
8.4 General cleaning instructions
CAUTION!
• You should remove stains on your seat as soon as possible.
•
•
•
•
•
After a long period of use, you should clean the cover of
your seat with a standard commercially available dry foam
cleaning agent.
You should always clean the whole surface and not just
individual spots in order to avoid unattractive edges. The
longer you wait the more difficult it will be to remove them.
Avoid powerful rubbing with aqueous solutions. This will
roughen up cover fabric.
Dirt stains (eg. beer, blood, cola, red wine, etc) are best
removed with the dry foam cleaning agents or with a
mild action detergent.
Please follow the respective instructions or use when
treating the covers.
• The covers should be allowed to dry for at least 48 hours
after cleaning with foam cleaning agents.
• Grease stains (eg. ballpoint pen, lipstick, chewing gum, etc).
Use a proprietary stain remover. Carefully rub the soiled
location on the surface only with a clean cloth impregnated
with the stain remover.
• Use only a very small quantity of stain remover.
• Test a small inconspicuous area first.
• The upholstery material must not be saturated, since the
stain remover might then attack it and destroy it.
• Do not use a hose or a pressure washer to clean your chair.
WARNING!
• Always read the label on any commercial or domestic
cleaning substances.
• Always follow the instructions carefully.

8.2 Cleaning your seating system
The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with a
