and homecare environments. The chairs are
intended for patients who do not exceed the safe
working load and height recommendations for the
device.

use in primary healthcare environments where
supervision can be provided if necessary, for
example, long-term residential care, nursing homes
or convalescent units. The Configura Advance
chair may also be placed in private homes where
there is unlikely to be 24-hour supervision by clinical
staff, but where the patient or caregiver is
considered competent in its use.
3. A typical patient / user ranges from those who are
physically dependent on caregivers for their
mobility, social and daily care needs, through to
rehabilitating patients.
4. Patients using the chair may also have declining
cognitive awareness, with symptoms ranging from
mild forgetfulness and poor concentration through
to end-stage dementia.
5. Patients may require postural support for the
accommodation, encouragement and
management of good posture.

tapered spigots (Fig 24, Items 1&2) into the two
sockets either side of the footplate height
adjustment frame (Fig 21, Items 3&4). Push the
footplate into the tubes until the plungers latch
with an audible click.
3. Ensure the plungers are latched by moving the
footplate in and out slightly.

either side of the leg rest, at the bottom of the
footplate height adjustment frame (Fig 21, Items
1&2).

120° from the vertical.
9. Controls
The Configura Advance chair has the following
controls:
1. Backrest –The backrest can be adjusted between
90 degrees and 130 degrees from the seat angle;
see page 5 for a diagram of this. The backrest
lever (Fig 27, Item 1) is used to adjust this angle.
The backrest is also fitted with a lockout slide (Fig
27, Item 4.) that can be used to restrict the use of
the backrest angle adjustment.
1. Tilt-in-Space –The tilt-in-space position can adjust
the seat angle from 7 degrees to 37 degrees from
