4.1 Intended and appropriate use
The product is designed for bathing and nursing patients/residents in hospitals and
care facilities, facilities for people with a disability as well as private households.
The
KINET
seat and shower bath tub offers a unique concept for a combination of
bathing and safe showering. On the one hand, the patient is prevented from sliding
down during showering by the unmatched ergonomic sitting position and on the
other hand, the patient has the possibility to enjoy a full bath when the tub is tilted
backwards.
The bath tub enhances the independence of the patients or disabled persons and
preserves their dignity due to the possibility of autonomous entry. The safe entry is
supported by the side handles and the additional level foot compartment provides for
the necessary hold.
The product may only be used for the specified purpose.
NOTE
The
KINET
tilting bath tub must be used by adequately
qualified nursing staff with good knowledge of the care
environment, its standard practices and usual procedures
as well as in accordance with the directives included in the
operating manual.
In case of doubt, please consult with the treating doctor.
