Summary of Safety Precautions

pages. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNINGS
• IVEA is not intended to bear full patient weight during ambulation. Handle safe
working load is 60lb. Exceeding this weight limit may result in a tip hazard and
potential patient harm.
• A qualified clinician should be with the patient at all times for patients with tethered
equipment that, if detached, can be life-threatening to the patient (such as PICC
catheter, thoracic drainage tube, etc.) or patients that are required to have clinical
support during ambulation due to their condition as assessed by approved hospital
and physical therapy assessment policies and/or procedures.
• Do not mount or place equipment on the unit that it was not designed to
accommodate.
• Use of the IVEA is not intended to replace or diminish professional caregiver judgment.
Responsible consideration of a patient's needs and abilities should govern any use of
this product.
• Special care should be taken when using the IVEA with patients considered to be at
risk for falls. These patients include, but aren't limited to, those who manifest specific
intrinsic and extrinsic factors that may or may not have been identified through a
clinical risk assessment.
• Improper use of the IVEA may result in injuries to the patient and/or the caregiver.
Proper care must be taken to follow all instructions and to use the IVEA only as
intended.
• Improper and inadequate maintenance of the IVEA after patient use may increase the
potential of hospital-acquired infections. Care must be taken to properly care for and
maintain the IVEA after each patient use. See Care and Maintenance for instructions.
• IVEA is not intended to be used to assist a patient from a sitting to standing position
or standing to sitting position. Utilizing IVEA for these purposes may result in a tip
hazard and potential patient harm.
• Riding or mounting the IVEA may result in serious personal injury. The IVEA should not
be used for any purpose for which it wasn't designed. Do not stand on the legs, place
excessive weight on the handles, or use the IVEA in any manner inconsistent with
proper use.
• Do not modify the IVEA under any circumstances. Any modification may result in
injuries to the patient and/or caregiver. Any modification to the product will void the
product warranty.
• Do not use the IVEA with the Indicator Pin protruding. If the Lock Pin Indicator
protrudes, the IVEA is not fully deployed. Lift up gently on the foot pedal with your
toe until the locking mechanism "clicks" and the Indicator Pin is flush with the brace
bracket.
• The IVEA is designed to be used on level surfaces only. Do not use the IVEA on sloping
surfaces.
