2SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Training
Before the chair is put into service, this manual must be read thoroughly by the caregiver(s) directly
responsible for the resident’s care.
After the chair is put into service, this manual must be read thoroughly by any new caregivers prior to
operating or moving the chair.
For the purpose of this manual, a resident’s family member who shares responsibility for their care is considered a
caregiver and is subject to the same competency before being permitted by the resident’s primary caregiver to
operate of move the chair.
Prior to first use, the customer must arrange for an in-service on the operation and safety requirements in this
manual, must be given to the resident’s caregivers by the local BRODA representative who supplied the chair.
The primary caregiver must maintain a list of caregivers who have read this manual and who they have authorized to
operate and move the chair.
The resident’s primary caregiver is responsible for ensuring that anyone who is unfamiliar with, unwilling, or unable
to adhere to the safety and operating instructions, is not permitted to operate or move the chair.
The operations of the chair must be performed by the resident’s primary caregiver who is responsible for seating. All
The operations and adjustments performed should be done in a manner to ensure the overall safety, comfort and
well-being of the resident, caregiver and third party. All operations and adjustments required for the resident should
be determined by the resident’s primary caregiver who is responsible for seating.
2.2 Application
BRODA chairs are intended exclusively for residents of long-term care institutions who are under the care of
professional caregivers. The suitability of a BRODA chair must be determined by a qualified caregiver who is
familiar with the seating needs of the intended resident. Any other use of the chair is excluded from possible liability
claims.
The Auto Locking Glider is not to be used in the shower. The frame and components will rust, and will void the
warranty.
The chairs are not explosion resistant and must not be used where there are flammable gases or liquids present (e.g.,
anesthetics, volatile solvents and cleaners, etc.)
BRODA chairs are designed for use with specific BRODA parts and accessories. The use of non-BRODA parts or
accessories with a BRODA will void the warranty and is excluded from possible liability claims.
BRODA chairs may only be used as described in this manual and with proper regard for recognized healthcare and
workplace safety and accident prevention practices.
2.3 Shipping and Storage
BRODA chairs should be shipped and stored in an upright position and not stacked higher than 3 boxes. No other
materials should be shipped or stored on top of a BRODA box. BRODA boxes should not be placed on pallets.
BRODA chairs should be shipped and stored at temperatures between -20ºC and 40ºC. BRODA chairs should not be
used until they are between 0ºC and 30ºC.

5
BRODA chairs should be kept in a clean, dry environment. Do not leave BRODA chairs outdoors as it may cause
the paint to peel.
Upon receipt, the shipping carton must be immediately examined for damage. Any damage should be noted on the
delivery receipt and a request for inspection by the transportation company should be made. Next, the shipping
carton should be opened and the chair must be examined for concealed shipping damage. If the chair appears to be
damaged, do not use the chair. File a concealed damage report with the transportation company.
2.4 Pre-Service Check
BRODA chairs are delivered fully assembled. If the chair does not appear to be ready to use upon receipt,
immediately contact your supplier and do not put the chair into service until any concerns have been resolved.
Visually inspect the chair for damage, missing parts, and loose fasteners prior to testing the chair’s functions.
Functional testing must be successfully completed after visual inspection and before use. These obligations apply to
the chair’s first use and to all subsequent uses (Section 4: Inspection and Functional Testing).
2.5 Hazards
.
2.5.1 Location of Chair - “Danger of Tipping or Falling Objects”
We recommend that when a resident has been moved to their destination, the chair is placed where the resident
cannot reach handrails or other objects, fixed or movable. This is to prevent the resident from pulling the chair over
or pulling themselves off the seating surface and to prevent the resident from pulling movable objects onto the chair
and themselves.
We recommend that the chair be used in a supervised area to prevent untrained residents, caregivers, or third parties
from unauthorized operation, movement, or unsafe actions such as sitting or leaning on the reclined back, elevated
footrest, or the armrests. These actions, if not prevented, put the chair at risk of tipping or damage to the chair.
We recommend that a chair only be located on a level surface to minimize the risk of tipping over.
2.5.2 Transport Wheels - “Danger of Tipping”
The transport wheels found on the rear of the Auto Locking Glider chair are for ease of transporting an unoccupied
chair. Do not transport the Auto Locking Glider chair while it is occupied. Doing so could cause the chair to tip,
causing serious injury to the resident, caregiver or third party.
2.5.3 Re-Positioning of Resident - “Danger of Clamping”
The Auto Locking Glider offers the benefits of height adjustable arms. Before movement of the arm height, ensure
the residents’ and caregivers’ body are clear of all pinch points.
2.5.4 Unintended Movement - “Danger of Falling or Collision”
We recommend BRODA chairs for indoor use within a long-term care institution and where there is not enough
slope to cause the chairs to move unaided. Chairs used where the surface is uneven or sloped are at risk of
unintended movement and could become a serious danger to the resident, caregiver(s), or a third party. We
recommend that BRODA chairs are located away from stairwells, elevators, and exterior doorways within a long-
term care institution.
2.5.5 Resident Clothing - “Risk of Injury to Resident’s Skin”
We recommend that residents only be seated while they are fully dressed in clothing that meets the needs of their
specific condition. Direct contact of bare skin on the straps or vinyl over a period of time could cause moisture on
the resident, and/or cause the skin to stick to the straps or vinyl. Prior to the operation or movement of a chair with a
covering, the caregiver must ensure any covering placed on the chair does not come into contact with any moving
parts and is securely placed, so not to slip.
2.6 Improper Use
As outlined, the improper use of the chair is dangerous to the resident, caregivers, or third parties, and can consist of,
but is not limited to the following:

6
1) Unauthorized operation of the chair’s functions.
2) Unauthorized movement of the chair.
3) Inappropriate use of the chair for a resident who has not been assessed by a qualified caregiver
responsible for their seating.
4) Attempting to operate of multiple chair functions simultaneously by one or more caregivers.
5) Attempting to move the chair while occupied by a resident.
6) Leaving the resident unattended in the chair near other objects.
7) Leaving an agitated resident in the chair in an unsupervised area.
8) Leaving a resident unattended.
9) Leaving a resident in a chair on a sloping surface.
10) Leaving a chair unattended on a sloping surface.
11) Using non-BRODA accessories on the chair.
12) Using the chair at temperatures below 0ºC.
13) Using the chair as a shower or bathing chair.
14) Using the chair for any use other than its intended purpose.
2.7 Cleaning
BRODA chairs should be wiped clean with soap and water. Diluted household strength ammonia or chlorine based
cleaner, as well as a hospital grade cleaner may be used if necessary.
Refer to the following guide for cleaning certain staining agents (Applies to the Permablok3® vinyl, as per the vinyl
manufacturer’s recommendations) The frame and components of the chair can be cleaned using the same procedure
as the vinyl.
The steps below are also located in the Cleaning Guide found on the back of the Broda chair.
Staining Agent Cleaning Procedure
Eye Shadow / Mascara Step 1
Grease / Suntan Lotion / Chocolate Step 1
Blood / Bodily Fluids Step 2
Red Lipstick Step 2
Oil Base Paint / Tar / Asphalt Step 3
Other Tough Stains Step 4 or 5*
Step 1: Remove excess spill with a damp cloth. Clean with a 1:1 mix of Ivory® liquid and water. Rinse with clean
water and dry.
Step 2: Use a straight application of concentrated cleaners such as Formula 409® or Fantastik® Spray Cleaner.
Then wipe with a clean cloth. If using a hospital grade cleaner, follow the diluting instructions on the label.
Step 3: Use a 1:1 mix of ammonia and water or a 1:4 mix of bleach and water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Step 4: Use a straight application of naphtha (lighter fluid). Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat surface dry.
Step 5: Use a 1:1 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water. If the stain persists, use straight alcohol. Rinse thoroughly
with clean water and pat dry. If the stain remains, use a 1:1 mix of acetone and water. Rinse with clean water and pat
surface dry.
*Note: for cleaning that requires steps 4 or 5 – Use a soft cotton cloth saturated with the cleaning material and rub
the stain in circles 10 times. Pat dry with another soft cotton cloth, and check results.
Thoroughly clean all removable parts and padding, as well as the frame and components.
BRODA chairs should not be cleaned with petroleum based cleaners. Any petroleum based products that come in
contact with any vinyl surface should be removed as quickly as possible. Petroleum based products make vinyl
brittle and will damage the seating surface and cushions. Metal parts and cushions should be wiped completely dry
after cleaning. Do not launder vinyl padding.

7
Do not allow the chair to air dry. Leaving the chair to air dry and not ensuring the entire chair is completely dry may
cause the frame and components to rust. Solvents such as those found in spray lubricants should not be used on
BRODA Chairs as they can damage moving parts.
Frequency and method of cleaning the chairs should be determined by facility infection control protocols. If visibly
soiled, thoroughly clean the chair immediately as per the cleaning instructions in this manual.
The cleaning instructions in this manual are guidelines only. Results may vary under actual conditions. The
information does not relieve the user of proper and safe use of the product and all cleaning agents and consideration
for the overall cleaning maintenance of the chair. Cleaning and care instructions must be followed in conjunction
with facility infection control protocols.
BRODA will not accept warranty or liability claims on chairs that have not been cleaned according to the
instructions or cared for in proper regard for patient, caregiver and third party safety and hygiene.. The use of certain
agents may be harmful to the surface appearance and lifespan of the vinyl. BRODA assumes no responsibility
resulting from the use of such cleaning agents to the vinyl.
Touch up paint is available for the powder coated frame. Please call Broda’s Customer Service Department if touch
up paint is required. Do not leave BRODA chairs outdoors as the frame is not UV protected. Leaving the chairs
outdoors could cause the paint to peel.

2.8 Maintenance
The maintenance on a BRODA chair will vary with the amount of use and the condition of the resident using the
chair.
In regular use, after the initial inspection and functional testing, the chair should be inspected and tested bimonthly.
We recommend visually inspecting for signs of wear, damage, loose or missing fasteners, and other safety concerns.
Periodic testing of chair functions is also necessary. If a breakage, defect, or operational problem is detected, the
chair must be successfully repaired, inspected and tested for function before it is returned to service.
The chair should be inspected and tested as often as each use if the chair is used by:
1) Aggressive or agitated residents.
2) Residents who have involuntary movements.
3) Residents weighing over 220 lbs.
4) A facility with irregular or sloped surfaces.
5) Any unauthorized person.
Do not use lubricants that contain solvents. Solvents may compromise any rubber components on the chair. If
necessary, white food grade grease or lubricant can be used on any sliding components.

2.9 Resident Specific Instructions
The primary caregiver responsible for the specific resident’s seating shall add additional instructions necessary for
the safe and effective use of the chair based on their professional experience and knowledge of the resident’s
specific conditions and requirements.
BRODA representatives are not professional caregivers and will not know the specific requirements of the
individual using the chair. BRODA relies on the knowledge, experience, and judgment of the resident’s professional
caregiver to ensure the specific resident’s safety and comfort needs are satisfied while using the chair.
These instructions form an essential part of the Safety Requirements for using the chair and must be made available
to all caregivers. Space is provided below to include these instructions.

3OPERATION AND MOVEMENT
Safety measures as described in Section 1 must be observed when operating the chair’s functions or moving the
chair. Only authorized caregivers should attempt to operate or move a chair. The caregiver must use proper body
mechanics when operating the chair, and be prepared to support the weight of the resident while operating the chair.
3.1 Gliding Motion (Auto Lock)
The Glider has an auto-locking mechanism that aids in
resident safety. The mechanism allows the gliding to be
activated only once the resident sits in the chair, and
become locked/de-activated once the resident begins to
stand up from the chair.
3.2 Caregiver Lock
The Glider has a caregiver lock that prevents any
unwanted gliding. The lock is located at the rear of the
chair.
WARNING: Only apply the caregiver lock when the
chair is unoccupied.
To Lock and Unlock the Caregiver Lock:
-Pull the handle.
-Turn approximately a quarter turn and insert the tab
into the slot for locking, or release the tab for
unlocking.
WARNING: Do not place fingers near tab as this
could cause pinching.

10
3.3 Height Adjustable Armrests
The armrest height can easily be adjusted in order to
accommodate various residents. The armrest height
should be adjusted to provide correct arm support for the
resident as determined by the caregiver.
To Adjust the Armrest Height:
-Squeeze the pins together which are located under the
armrest flap.
WARNING: DO NOT place fingers at the top of the
pins as this could cause pinching. Place fingers in the
concave shape of the pins.
-Raise or lower the arm to the desired height.
WARNING:DO NOT place fingers anywhere
underneath the arm while adjusting, as this could
cause pinching. Upon releasing the pins the armrest
height will lock into place.
Secure the outside flap on the side panel. Change the
height on the other arm as desired.
3.4 Transport Wheels
The Auto Locking Glider has two rear transport wheels
for ease of transporting the chair.
To Transport the Chair:
-Apply the caregiver lock.
-Standing directly behind the chair, tilt the chair back
onto the transport wheels and transport to the desired
location.
-Once the chair is in the desired location and in the
upright position, the caregiver lock may be released if
desired.
WARNING: Do not transport the chair while it is
occupied.
3.5 Accessories (Options)
We recommend BRODA accessories for use only on BRODA chairs. The correct installation of the BRODA
accessory is very important. We recommend that the BRODA chair is ordered with the required accessories already
installed. Only authorized caregivers who thoroughly understand the accessory installation procedures should
attempt to install their BRODA accessories without assistance from their local BRODA representative. BRODA
does not recommend use of other manufacturer’s accessories on BRODA chairs.

4INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Safety measures as described in Section 1 must be observed when inspecting or testing a chair. Only authorized
caregivers or maintenance staff should attempt to inspect or test a chair.
4.1 Inspection
We recommend regular visual inspection for signs of wear, damage, loose or missing fittings, and other safety
concerns. If a breakage, defect, or operational problem is detected, the chair must be repaired inspected and tested
for function before it is returned to service.
We recommend that the chair be inspected as often as each use if there is any reason to be concerned about the
possibility of increased wear or loose or missing fittings. At a minimum, in regular use the chair should be
inspected on a bimonthly basis. The visual inspection procedure should include at least the observation of all the
fittings (fasteners):
The visual inspection procedure should include at least the observation of the following parts:
1) The cylinder that assists the auto lock gliding
2) The vinyl straps used in the seat and back
3) The cushions
4) The caregiver lock and pin that engages the locking plate
5) The armrest height adjustment pins
The visual inspection procedure should include the observation of any installed accessories. The visual inspection
should be performed by the facility, or if in a private residence, by the individual responsible for the chair.
4.2 Functional Testing
We recommend that the chair should be tested for operation of the chair’s functions without a resident in the
chair. The testing may be as often as each use if there is any reason to be concerned about the possibility of
increased wear or damage to the chair’s components. At a minimum, in regular use the chair should be tested for
functions as described in Section 3.
If the caregiver or maintenance department performing the functional testing believes that any function is not
operating correctly, the chair should be taken out of service until a satisfactory functional test can be completed.
When performing repairs or maintenance, do not use lubricants that contain solvents. Solvents will damage many of
the moving components in the chair. If necessary, a white, food grade grease (lubricant) may be used on the sliding
components in the chair. Do not use spray lubricants on any part of the chair.
