Device Features and Component Names
2-1 Device Features
When installed to a Rollator, the CONPAL unit (Speed Control unit), automatically activates the brake at the time of
sudden acceleration, preventing falling during Rollator use.
Unlike a conventional resistance brake system, the CONPAL unit activates the brake only at times of sudden
acceleration, making it possible for the user to walk smoothly without the brake applied during normal walking.
The CONPAL unit (Speed Control unit) is a brake capable of suppressing acceleration; it cannot fully stop the tires.
Do note, therefore, that there is a risk of falling when the user becomes fully separated from the Rollator, for
example. Caution is required.
