Back rest
You can insert the back rest into the sockets in the tube on the front of the rollator. You can fix it with the enclosed clips
(pic. 5–8).
The back rest is for support when sitting and facilitates comfortable sitting posture during a rest. Always lean slowly and
evenly against it. Do not hang any coats or bags over it.
Care and Maintenance
The rollator may only be used as a walking aid. Keep the rollator free from dirt, so that it remains functional. The rollator
can be cleaned with a neutral cleaning agent and a cloth and then rinsed and dried. Dry the rollator thoroughly after clean-
ing or exposure to rain. The brake pads and springs should also be cleaned regularly. The rollator should

Hygiene Plan
Before each re-use or before each patient change, the rollator is to be disinfected and cleaned.
Disinfection/cleaning
1.
Before preparing the rollator, put on protective gloves and if necessary, protective clothing (disposable apron).
2.
Always disinfect first, then clean. Exception: Severe contamination must be removed before disinfection.
3.
Wipe or spray the rollator with a disinfectant listed by the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM) or
the German Association for Applied Hygiene (VAH) (taking care to follow the manufacturer’s recommended contact
time). Disinfection by wiping is generally preferable to spraying. After the contact time for the disinfectant has elapsed,
dry the rollator off with a clean, dry cloth.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. No water must be allowed to enter the tubes. Do not use caustic or bleaching
cleaning agents.
After cleaning, dry the rollator off with a clean, dry cloth.
