Maintenance and Care

HYGIENE WHEN BEING REUSED: 

When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully, and 

wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces which 

could come into contact with the user. 

In doing this, you must use a liquid for alcoholic quick disinfection 

for medical products and medical inventory when you require a 

quick effect. Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions 

of the disinfectant you are using. 
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams. We 

therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat and back 

slings in the case of micro bacterial contamination with active 

agents according to § 6      infection protection law.

STORAGE

Please store/keep the wheelchair in a dry place.
