Maintenance and Care
HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and
wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which
could come into contact with the user.
In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick disinfection
for medical products and medical inventory when you require a
quick effect. Please pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions
of the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams. We
therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat and back
slings in the case of micro bacterial contamination with active
agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
STORAGE
Please store/keep the wheelchair in a dry place.
