4.3 Intended purpose
4.4 Intended patient population
The stair climbers are guided manually and are operated by an operator.
They make it possible to transport a single person with reduced mobility safely over stairs, upwards and
downwards. The products have been designed for indoor and outdoor use, and moving on spiral stairs and
slopes is possible, too.
The intended patient population includes all persons who are able to sit independently and have a maxi-
mum body weight corresponding to the technical specication of the respective model and variant (max.
140 kg).

12
4.5 Medical requirements and indication
The patients must be able to sit independently. Secure persons who cannot sit upright unaided with belts
(refer to accessories) to prevent the occupant from falling out!
The manually guided stair climber assists the accompanying person while transporting the patient over
stairs or slopes, upwards and downwards. The use of the stair climber is intended for patients who are not
able to move by themselves and accompanying persons who do not have sufcient physical endurance and
strength to move the patient over stairs or slopes.
4.6 Contraindications and restrictions
4.7 User group
The stair climbers must not be used if:
• the operator has obtained no training/instruction for the product!
• the operator is below the age of 16!
• there is no supervision for minors of at least 16 years of age!
• the operator is not physically and mentally able to operate the stair climber safely!
• more than one person shall be transported simultaneously!
• the person to be transported cannot sit upright unaided!
• the operator does not have adequate eyesight!
• the braking effect is reduced due to rain, wet conditions, snow or black ice!
• the one-side and/or two-side braking effect of stair climber does not set in!
• escalators or travelators shall be overcome!
• medical devices with e.g. a life support function, and diagnostic devices are in the proximity!
• it is not used according to the intended use!
The stair climbers are intended for the use by:
• medical staff,
• healthcare professionals,
• driving services, and
• laymen.
Users are trained in the use of the device by means of a training course.

Adhesive label with serial number On the left of the housing and rear side of the user manual
IP protection class IPX4 degree of protection: protection against splashing water from all direc-
tions
Classication according to ISO 7176-28:2012 Type C (according to Annex A, Table 1)
1) With activated ComfortStep, the climbing speed and the range are reduced. The range also depends on the weight of the occupant.
2) Any steps of a smaller depth may not be travelled as in this case it is no longer possible for the wheel to be set down safely.
3) At temperatures below 0 °C the performance of the battery pack will decrease; therefore we recommend a storage temperature of at least 0 °C.
