Hygiene When Being Reused:

When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully,

and be wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces

which could come into contact with the user.

If you need to do this quickly, you must use a liquid, alcohol-

based disinfectant suitable for medical products and devices.

Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions of the

disinfectant you are using.

10.0 Trouble shooting

11.0 Disposal / recycling of materials

NOTE: If the wheelchair has been supplied to you free of charge

it may not belong to you. If it is no longer required follow any

instructions given by the organisation issuing the wheelchair in

order that it may be returned to them.

The following information describes the materials used in the

wheelchair in relation to the disposal or re-cycling of the

wheelchair and its packaging.

Specific waste disposal or recycling regulations may be in force

locally and these should be taken into consideration when

disposal arrangements are made. (This may include the cleaning

or de-contamination of the wheelchair before disposal).

Aluminium: Castor forks, wheels, side frames, armrests, frame,

leg rests, push handles

Steel: Fasteners, QR axle

Plastic: Handgrips, tube plugs, castor wheels, footplates,

armpads and 12” wheel/tyre

Packaging: Low density polythene bag, cardboard box

Upholstery: Woven polyester with PVC coatings and expanded

combustion modified foam.

Disposal or recycling should be done through a licensed agent

or authorised place of disposal. Alternatively your wheelchair

may be returned to your dealer for disposal.

9.0 Maintenance and care

• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it afterwards.

• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to

quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending

on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your

wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it

inspected by trained personnel.

• If you want to store the wheelchair for a long period of time,

then no further measures are required. Make sure that the

wheelchair is stored at room temperature in a dry place which

is protected from strong sunlight. Before using it again, the

wheelchair should be checked by an authorised dealer.

CAUTION!

Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the

bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair

thoroughly after exposure.

The following parts can be removed and sent back to the

manufacturer/dealer for repair:

• Rear wheels

• Armrest

• Anti-Tip tubes

These components are available as spare parts. For further

information, please see the spare parts catalogue.

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 disinfectant from the DGHM list, e.g.

Antifect Liquid (Schülke & Mayr) for rapid alcohol-based

disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which

must be disinfected quickly.

Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions of the

disinfectant you are using.

In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on

seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and

back slings to avoid microbacterial contamination with active

agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
