ADVISORY STATEMENT REGARDING CERTAIN
COMPONENTRY INCORPORATED BY THIRD-
PARTY MANUFACTURERS INTO FINISHED
POWER CHAIRS: When Quantum Rehab power
bases, seating systems, or other components
are incorporated into a nished power chair
manufactured or assembled by any third party,
that third party is responsible to assure the
safety, functionality, and legal compliance of the
nished power chair. Quantum Rehab makes no
representation concerning the safety, functionality,
or legal compliance of the nished power chair or
its componentry manufactured by a third party.
While Quantum Rehab makes every e󰀨ort to assure
that our components are distributed responsibly,
manufacturers, distributors, and consumers are
reminded that nished power chairs must comply
with a variety of standards and requirements for
governmental safety and functionality.
If it is necessary to physically modify a power chair,
including the addition of third-party componentry,
to accommodate the medical needs of the power
chair occupant, a risk assessment in conformance
with ISO 14971, as outlined in ISO_7176, should be
performed.
Changes to power chairs that are likely to a󰀨ect
conformance and risk evaluation include but are not
limited to: moving the securement-point brackets;
lowering the back-support height; shortening the
seat length; adding secondary postural supports
that are not rmly attached to the power chair;
adding components that have sharp edges (i.e.,
edges with less than 0.08 in. [2 mm] radius); or any
change that compromises the structural integrity
of the power chair frame.
