Use
Wheelchairs are exclusively for a user who is unable to walk or has
limited mobility, for their own personal use, when self-propelling and
being moved by a third party (pushed by attendant) within the home
and outdoors.
The maximum weight limit (includes both the user and any weight of
accessories fitted to the wheelchair) is marked on the serial number
label, which is affixed to the cross-brace or the stabilising bar under
the seat.
Warranty can only be issued if the product is used under the
specified conditions and for the intended purpose.
The expected life of the wheelchair is 5 years.
NO NON-STANDARD PARTS are to be fitted, other than those
officially approved by Sunrise Medical.
Use
The variety of fitting variants as well as the modular design means
that it can be used by those who cannot walk or have limited mobility
because of:
• Paralysis
• Loss of extremity (leg amputation)
• Extremity defect/deformity
• Joint contractures/joint injuries
• Illnesses such as heart and circulation deficiencies,
• disturbance of equilibrium or cachexia as well as for elderly people
who still have strength in the upper body.
When considering provision, please also note the body size, weight,
physical and psychological constitution, the age of the person, living
conditions and environment.
