WARNINGS
1. Ensure there is at least a two nger gap between the user and the pelvic straps, this will ensure
the pelvic strap is not too tight.
2. Poorly tted pelvic straps may allow the user to slide down the seat which could cause asphyxiation
by the straps.
3. Check that the pelvic strap goes under the pelvic support and that it ts snugly at ALL times to
maintain a correct seating position.
4. Contact Medifab and/or the user’s health care provider, if you are not sure how to use the pelvic
strap. Do not use, if the straps are damaged or not rmly secured.
5. Keep the straps clean, as caked-up webbing will be dicult to adjust.
6. Inspect straps frequently to ensure the straps have not worked loose.
7. Do not allow the user to undo the buckle. If the user is able to undo the buckle contact the user’s
health care provider for guidance on preventing the user from undoing the buckle, as this may
