8.5. Six-month maintenance
Carry out the following work every six months:
• Check the equipment according to the monthly and quarterly maintenance schedule.
8.6. Disinfection and cleaning
WARNING
Hazardous disinfection and cleaning products
Do not use dangerous cleaning products that can lead to skin changes. Wear suitable protective
clothing, as the disinfectant solution can cause irritation on contact with the skin. Pay attention to
the product information of the respective solution.
If the product is used by several people (e.g. in a nursing home), the use of a commercially availa-
ble disinfectant is mandatory.
• Before use, the pads and handles must be cleaned and disinfected.
• Spray or wipe disinfection is permitted with tested and recognised disinfectants. A list of the
disinfectants and procedures tested and approved by the Robert Koch Institute can be found
at: http://www.rki.de.
• The nylon cover of the seat cushion has a zipper. If you want to clean the nylon cover, open the
zipper and remove the foam. The nylon cover can be easily washed in the washing machine.
• When using disinfectants, it is possible that surfaces may be affected by the application, which
may limit the long-term functionality of the components.
• The instructions for use specified by the manufacturer must be observed.
8.7. Re-use
Before each re-use, the wheelchair must undergo a complete inspection.
NOTE
The hygiene measures required for reuse must be carried out in
accordance with a validated hygiene plan.
If your specialist dealer carries out a revision/refurbishment or makes significant changes to your
wheelchair without using original spare parts, this may mean that your wheelchair has to be placed
on the market again. This also means that your specialist dealer may have to carry out new confor-
mity assessments and tests.
