Intended Purpose
Intended Use / Application Areas
The Octopus rehab positioning harness is a class 1 medical device.
It is designed to safely transport the physically disabled and to ensure the passenger is
sitting securely in vehicles. The passenger is always fastened using the vehicle’s own
three-point seat belt. The seven-point seat waistcoat in the rehab positioning harness
helps to position and support the passenger user in an upright sitting position.
The rehab positioning harness provides additional support to help the passengers sit
securely. It can be combined with a standard booster seat that is appropriate for the
passenger’s weight. The clasps of the positioning harness can be locked if desired to
prevent unwanted opening.
Any use that goes above and beyond this does not comply with the intended use.
Indication / Patient Target Group / Intended Users
The rehab positioning harness is for children, adolescents, and adults with mild
structural and / or functional limitations or poor head and torso posture. In addition,
it is suitable for passengers with psychomotor agitation and / or sensory disorders. It
provides a stable, physiological position if a standard seat belt does not sufficiently
allow the passenger to sit upright in the vehicle.
