•   The EasyStand Bantam should not be used without first consulting a qualified physician. Failure to consult a qualified physician prior 
 

to using the EasyStand Bantam could lead to severe medical problems. We recommend a good standing program be established and 

 

supervised by a qualified, registered physical therapist.

 17-18. Changes in position must be performed or supervised by a qualified caregiver or medical professional.

•   It is necessary to inspect the EasyStand Bantam at least weekly to ensure it is in safe operating condition. Pay particular attention for 
 

loose hardware. If the EasyStand is equipped with the optional Pow’r up lift, please inspect the electrical cables for any wear and ensure 

 

they are attached properly. Replacement of worn parts, major adjustments, or other important corrections should be handled by an 

 

authorized dealer or service center. Only Altimate Medical, Inc., approved replacement parts should be used to ensure safety and 

 performance.

•  If the EasyStand is being used in the home environment, please inspect the unit prior to each use to ensure there is no damage or 
 

unexpected wear to the EasyStand that may have been caused unintentionally by pets, pests or children.      

•   Never reposition the foot plates while the user is in the standing position. Consult with a therapist or physician for proper foot placement 
 

and angle. 

•   Never elevate the legs or adjust the backrest to anterior tilt using the following arm adjustment. Only the supine option may be used 
 

to elevate the legrest with simultaneous recline of the backrest. 

•   Ensure the necessary support and alignment options are in position prior to bringing the child into the standing position.
