Introduction
Please read these instructions carefully prior to initial use. They contain
important safety information and valuable tips for proper use and care.
The TRS160 Glideabout Commode is intended as an aid for showering and
toileting for users with mobility diculties. This chair is not intended to
transport users, so should only be wheeled when unoccupied. The chair is
designed for occasional or frequent indoor use.
It comes with a 5 litre bucket and lid, and can be wheeled over most
conventional and disabled toilets. The device has a steel frame, vinyl cushion
and backrest, polyurethane (PU) armrests and recess-free castors to prevent
water trapping. The TRS160 commode supports users weighing up to 160 kg
(25 stone).

Using the Commode
Transferring Users
Move the seats as close as possible to each other. Always engage the castor
brakes and fold the footrests outwards.
If users need to be lifted, attendants are responsible for being suitably
trained and competent to lift users with minimal risk of harm. Do not use the
commode to transport users.
Using the Castor Brakes
Press down on the lever (7)
located above the wheel to
apply the castor parking brake
(as shown in the diagram).
To release the lock, press
the other protruding tab (8)
above the wheel with a foot.
Using the Bucket and Lid
The bucket and lid are accommodated underneath the plastic seat.
To add the bucket, slide underneath the seat from the back of the commode.
Ensure that the bucket is secure on the two rails attached to the underneath
of the seat.
To remove the bucket, slide the bucket from underneath the seat. Cover the
bucket with the lid and carry the bucket securely using the handle to reduce
the risk of spillages.
Frequently Asked Questions
• If the castors do not move easily, ensure the castor brakes are not
engaged. Check for objects trapped in the castor.
• If the bucket is not secure, or tends to slide out, ensure the bucket is
securely resting on the two rails underneath the seat and that the
commode is on level ground. Ensure that only buckets supplied with the
commode or approved for use are used.
!
Warning
Only move the bucket when the chair is empty to prevent trapping.
Carefully dispose of the contents in a sluice or WC. Do not dispose
in an open drain or sink as this can cause serious health risks.

Care and Maintenance
Do not use a damaged or badly worn chair. Check routinely for any
malfunctions or changes in performance. Contact Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare
Ltd or your provider for spares, or to replace damaged or worn parts.
• Brakes and castors should be checked before each use, and at least
once a month. All castors are solid, so do not require inflation.
• Keep the chair dust free and clean regularly (at least once a week) by
hand, using a moist cloth and mild detergent. Spray castors and fasteners
with a water dispersing agent. The chair should be disinfected between
use with dierent users to avoid cross-contamination. The bucket should
also be disinfected manually or in an autoclave after each use.
Removable parts can be disassembled to aid cleaning and disinfection.
Avoid neat bleach, high-dose chlorine, vinegar-based or abrasive
cleaners. Wipe and leave to fully dry before reuse.
• Check screws, joints and upholstery regularly. Adjust or replace, if needed.
• Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd recommend that an approved service
engineer services the device annually. If the device is subject to heavy
use or used in a multi-user environment, service more frequently. Repair,
replace, adjust and/or lubricate these parts if required:
• The device has an estimated service life of 5 years in a single-user
domestic environment, when maintained in line with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. In a multi-user environment (such as a nursing home
or hospital) the service life may be reduced.
• When the product has reached the end of its useful life, follow local
recycling and disposal policies.
