WARNINGS
•
Physipro Inc. lower limb supports are reserved exclusively for use on mobility
aids (manual or power wheelchairs).
•

the device to detach from the wheelchair which may result in damage or
injury. Always lift wheelchair with the rigid parts of the frame.
•
Installing a new product on a wheelchair may affect the wheelchair’s center
of gravity and may cause the wheelchair to become unstable. To ensure
optimal stability of your wheelchair after the addition of a new component,
always assess for the potential need for anti-tips or amputee axle adapter
brackets to be added or adjusted.
•
New lower limb supports should be tested before prolonged use. To avoid
redness due to pressure points, it is necessary to regularly check for redness
in the various critical pressure areas, especially around bony prominences.
•
Before use, let the lower limb support get to room temperature to limit
discomfort caused by excessively hot or cold surfaces.
•
Avoid exposing your lower limb support to extreme cold or heat and avoid
prolonged contact to fluids or moisture. Never place near open flame.
•

mobility aid in which it is installed has obtained the ISO-717619, it will
not be maintained.
