(inside Bracket)
Accessory Bracket Assembly (16276S) Arm Retightening
Tools/supplies: T20 screwdriver; Long solid-shaft 5mm hex key or slender hex screwdriver; 3mm hex key or hex
screwdriver.
1. Locate and remove 3 T20 Plastite Screws (A) and Catheter Bag Hook (B).
2. Locate Access Hole (C) of Accessory Bracket (D). Insert 5mm hex key or hex screwdriver through hole to engage
drive socket of Hex Socket Screw (E) inside Bracket. Unscrew Hex Socket Screw 3 full turns, no more, and slide
Cover (F) up Mast (G) just enough to provide access to Arm Screw Access Hole (H). You may have to wiggle the
bracket a bit to ease sliding.
3. Insert 3mm hex key or screwdriver through Arm Screw Access Hole (H) and engage the drive socket of the
screw within. Tighten screw to the point where the arm does not wiggle side to side but can still pivot easily.
Reassembly
1. Slide Cover back into place, again wiggling the Bracket to ease sliding.
2. Replace Catheter Bag Hook (B) and 3 T20 Plastite Screws (A). Tighten Plastite screws just until lightly nger-
snug. NOTE: Once snug, screw torque is not critical to safety or function, but overtorquing could cause strip-
out.
3. Once again Insert 5mm hex key or hex screwdriver through hole to engage drive socket of Hex Socket Screw
(E) inside Bracket.
4. Drive Screw (E) until it is nger-snug and no joint free-play remains. NOTE: Once snug, screw torque is not
critical to safety or function, but overtorquing could cause strip-out.

Caster Retention Adjustment
This procedure can be used to restore retention to a caster that is prone to falling out during transport. Procedure
is identical for leg end casters and nose casters except for an additional orientation step required by leg end
casters, explained below.
Tools/supplies: thin at blade screwdriver; pliers; puncture-resistant glove.
Procedure
1. Pull caster (A) fully out of its socket.
2. Protect your off-hand with a puncture-resistant glove.
3. Holding the caster rmly in your off-hand and grasping the brass grip ring (B) with your ngers to prevent it
from spinning, insert the blade of screwdriver (C) into the gap in the grip ring and twist the screwdriver to
enlarge the gap slightly.
4. Check the resulting t of the caster in its socket. Adjust gap as needed to optimize t and retention by further
expansion (with the screwdriver) or compression (with pliers) of the grip ring.
5. Partially reinsert caster stem into socket.
6. If a leg end caster (with yellow pedal), orient the Notch (D) located in the edge of the caster’s hexagonal plate
(E) as shown, facing directly up the length of the leg. This aligns it with a mating tab (F).
7. Push the caster the rest of the way into place, embedding the hexagonal plate in its mating recess.
8. Check the locking and braking functions of the caster to assure that they are all operational. See IVEA 600S
User Manual.

Handle Bracket Clamp Tension Adjustment
If handle bracket is drifting down in use:
Tools/supplies: 5mm hex key or driver. weights totalling 75lb to 100lb.
1. Loosen the blue Lock Lever (A) and raise the Handle Bracket to its highest position. Lock the lever.
2. Insert a 5mm hex key or driver into the drive socket of Hex Socket Screw (B). Turn the screw clockwise 1/4 turn.
3. Hang bags of weights totalling 75-100lb on the handles, distributing the load more or less evenly, to test
holding power. If bracket holds, you’re done.
4. If bracket slips downward, perform steps 1-3 repeatedly until slipping is eliminated.

10 IVEA® 600S • Recommended Inspection and Maintenance
IV Pole Clamp Tension Adjustment
Tools/supplies: 3mm hex key or driver; IV bags or similar hangable weights totalling 11lb.
1. Clean/disinfect IV pole to remove oils, lotion residues, etc.
2. Place a typical set of IV bags or equivalent weight totalling 14lb on the IV hooks of the IVEA, unlock and
extend the IV Pole to half of full extension, supporting the IV Pole by hand. Place lever into locked position,
while continuing to manually support the IV Pole.
3. With IV Pole Lock Lever (A) in closed position as shown, increase or reduce Hex Socket Screw (B) tightness until
IV hooks are just able to maintain height without slipping. Avoid overtightening.
4. Release IV Pole Lock Lever and conrm ability to telescope IV Pole.
NOTE: IV pole is intended to be fully retracted during ambulation. If a correctly loaded IV pole slips downward
only during ambulation, this is an indication of misuse, not of misadjustment.
