Use; Getting Into And Out Of The Seat; Reducing The Seating System In Size For Transportation - Keizer NUAGE PLS Notice D'utilisation

Nuage 37

5 Use

Nuage PLS seating systems are intended for use
on tilt-in-space wheelchairs. The tilt makes it
possible to easily change the seating position. It
also reduces prolonged pressure on body parts
and is, therefore, important for your health and
comfort.

5.1 Getting into and out of the seat,

transfer
Make sure to engage the wheelchair brakes
before helping a person get into or out of the
seat. Do not stand on the footplates.
If you have to use a passive patient lift, the
advice is to use the kind where the person can
be positioned into a tilted seating system from
the side. If possible, remove the lifting mat after
the transfer. Make sure there are no folds or other
irregularities between the user and the contour
cushion.
5.2 Reducing the seating system in
size for transportation
The way the Nuage PLS seating system in
combination with the wheelchair can be reduced
in size for transportation depends greatly on the
wheelchair frame it is mounted on. Headrest,
armrests and legrests are usually easily removable.
Check the wheelchair manual for instructions. Fully
removing the seating system and subsequently
reinstalling it is not permitted. This is something
only professionals are allowed to do.
