1. Introduction

1.1. Introduction
The height-adjustable, electric Elexo shower-toilet chair is a medical device for caring
for and washing clients in an ergonomically responsible manner. Comfort is the primary
consideration for both the client and the carer. The Elexo can also be used as a toilet
chair, in combination with a bedpan / bucket. The Elexo comprises a base frame and
chair component. The chair component provides the same comfort as a regular chair and
offers the same degree of support. The chair component can be electrically, gradually
adjusted in height, in relation to the base frame. The Elexo is thus a multifunctional
device. These functions are essential performances of the chair.
The average technical life of the Elexo is 10 years, assuming it is cleaned daily and
regularly maintained according to the maintenance schedule supplied (See chapter 5:
Cleaning and maintenance).
The Elexo is a class 1 product with CE-marking. This marking corresponds with

to the norm 60601-1-2.
