1. INTRODUCTION

test ISO/FDIS 7176/19.
In Alu Rehab we believe that wheelchairs
should be chosen based on a thorough
assessment focusing on the needs of the
user and demands from the environment. Therefore
it is important to know about
the possibilities and restrictions of the
wheelchair. Netti 4U Comfort CED is a
wheelchair designed for users with the
need for comfort and relief. The combi-
nation between the seating system and the
ergonomical solutions in the frame construction,
offers many possibilities for adaptation and
adjustments.
The wheelchair offers the possibility to
vary the sitting position from activity to
rest using tilt and recline functions.

1.1 Quality and durability
The Netti 4U Comfort CED wheelchair is
tested at TÜV Product Service GmbH in
Germany, following the European Standard
EN 12183:1999. As manufacturer, Alu
Rehab A.S evaluates the test to be equal
to 5-6 years of normal use of the chair.
The disability of the usage as well as the
level of maintenance done foremost decides
the durability of the wheelchair. Thus, the
durability will vary depending on these two
factors.

waste disposal

• That we avoid using
environmentally harmful
substances and processes to the greatest
extent possible.
• That Alu Rehab’s products are ensured a
long service life and a high degree of
flexibility - to benefit the environment
and economy.
• That all packaging can be recycled.
• That the wheelchair was designed to be
separated into its component materials -
to make recycling easier.
• That the wheelchair was designed with
many different auxiliary functions - to
improve the working environment for
staff at instutions and hospitals.
