1 General instructions
1.1 Introduction
These operating instructions contain information
about how to use the bath tub lifter safely and
properly.
Read the operating instructions carefully before
putting the bath tub lifter into operation and follow
all the instructions, particularly the safety instruc-
tions.
If reference is made in the text to illustrations, the
structure for these is as follows: (Figure 3,1)
means item 1 in the figure 3.
Keep all documents in a safe place.
1.2 Proper use
The bath tub lifter is intended solely for use by
persons bathing in the bath tub. This requires suf-
ficient torso control and residual functional capabil-
ity of the extremities.
Any other form of use is not permitted.
Indications
Significantly reduced function / lack of functional
capability in the upper and/or lower extremities,
when it is no longer possible for the user to get into
and out of a bath tub mainly without assistance, or
when sitting up and sitting down is no longer pos-
sible. There must still be sufficient torso control
and residual functional capability of the extremities.
Chronic consequences of illness resulting in func-
tional restrictions in the lower and/or upper extrem-
ities that no longer allow bathing without assis-
tance, if however using the bath tub lifter enables
bathing largely without assistance and other bath-
ing aids are not sufficient to offset the effects of the
disability.
Contraindications
No contraindications are known if the lifter is used
properly.
1.3 Disposal
Old appliances and packaging must be disposed of
and recycled in accordance with the valid national
regulations.
The bath tub lifter contains a rechargeable lithium-
ion battery. Old batteries do not belong in with
normal domestic refuse, but should be disposed of
separately in accordance with the national regula-
tions.
1.4 CE mark
The technical requirements for the unit are de-
scribed in DIN EN ISO 10535 (lifter) and have
been adhered to. The product complies with the
medical products directive 93/42/EEC.
1.5 Reuse / conditioning
The bath tub lifter is intended for reuse. The
amount of reuse depends on the condition of the
product in question.
When conditioning, follow the manufacturer's con-
ditioning and hygiene guidelines. The manufactur-
er can provide these guidelines on request.
1.6 Service life
The bath tub lifter is designed for a service life of at
least 5 years, provided that it is used properly and
that all maintenance and inspection intervals are
observed.
This service life can be exceeded if the bath tub
lifter is handled, serviced, cleaned and used care-
fully. Extreme or improper use can however signifi-
cantly reduce its service life.
Stating the service life does not constitute a guar-
antee.
