1 INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE & GENERAL SAFETY
ISSUES
1.1 Indications for use
T200 and T300 Series Medical Treatment Chairs are intended for use in medical procedures
such as the administration of renal dialysis to, and collecting blood from, patients in hospital
departments or home treatment. The Medical Treatment Chairs are also intended for use in
day surgery recovery areas. The chair is designed in such a way that no special training nor
competence is needed for operating it.
1.2 General Safety
The chair should never be used in a manner for which it was not intended.
The weight of the occupant must not exceed 130 kg.
The chair is designed so that the occupant will be seated in a typical seated position - hips
moved back so that the occupant’s spine is against the backrest, with legs outstretched and
supported by the seat and leg rest.
The chair is fitted with castors, which are specifically used to aid cleaning and/or positioning of
the chair within the room. The chair should never be used to transport other items. Ensure
that the backrest is fully elevated before moving the chair.
It is the staff members' responsibility to ensure the patient is briefed on the safe
operation of the chair.
For T200 and T300 models with CPR legs fitted: In an emergency, the chair can be lowered
to the Trendelenburg position where CPR may be performed. It is the staff members'
responsibility to ensure that the chair is in the correct position for CPR and that the
resuscitation method used is in line with hospital policy. In addition, staff should ensure that
the chair is suitable for those resuscitation methods, in line with hospital policy.
In general, no responsibility or liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for failure to
adhere to the guidelines and instructions contained in this manual.

2 OPERATING THE MEDICAL TREATMENT CHAIR
Model specific features: T200 –Standard chair with reclining back
T300 –Standard chair with reclining back & slide-out footrest
1. To secure the chair in position depress the brake pedals located at the top of each of
the rear castors (T200) or the central locking brake pedal at the rear of the chair
which locks all four castors (T300).
2. To operate the seat/leg rest recline, release one of the lever handles on the front side
of the chair. To sit up, depress the legrest with your legs until the leg rest locks in the
seated position.
3. To operate the back rest (T200 & T300 series only); put the back-release lever
(located below the rear arm pad) into the release position allowing the backrest to
move to the required position. Relock as required.
4. Fold out tray arm (if fitted) is accessed by opening the upper section outwards.
5. Lift up tray tables (if fitted) lift up and lock into place.
6. To allow the patient to rise from the chair, return it to the upright position.
7. Ensure procedural equipment is set up to avoid tubing and cords becoming trapped in
the moving parts of the chair (e.g. arm rests). DISCONNECT procedural equipment
prior to removing patient from chair.
For the T300 series only
8. The slide out footstool can be extended to allow the patient access to the chair. The
knob lock on the front left side of the chair should be used to ensure the stool is not
allowed to slide under the chair. The stool is normally left in the extended position for
comfort whilst the patient is seated.

4.2 CLEANING
Cleaning should conform to the standards set by the hospital. All materials used in the
manufacture of the chairs have been found to be suitable to be cleaned with standard hospital
cleaning products, however to ensure suitability, a test should first be carried out on an
inconspicuous piece of material, or a sample provided by the manufacturer.
The following should be used as a guideline only and no claims will be accepted for
damage or otherwise from following these guidelines:
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT CHAIRS
The following recommended procedure should only be used if it generally conforms to
Infection Control Guidelines of the hospital.
Step 1
Bodily fluids may carry infectious material. Ensure that
protective garments and gloves are worn prior to
commencing the cleaning operation.
Step 2
Remove as much of the spilt liquid as possible using a
sponge-type material with a dabbing motion.
Step 3
Make up a diluted bleach solution (e.g. Miltons) of 1
part bleach to 30 parts water.
Step 4
First test the solution on a small area of the vinyl.
Then, pour onto spill area and wipe with a mopping
action.
Step 5
Use a general purpose detergent cleaner with warm
water on a cloth for a final clean.
CAUTIONARY NOTES ABOUT BLEACH:
1. Never allow bleach to mix with ammonia. If you have recently used ammonia on or
near the area you are about to clean, do not use bleach.
2. Always take care when working with bleach and keep it away from children. Bleach is
not only poisonous and corrosive, but it can damage clothes and materials.
3. Never use undiluted bleach.

following Australian Standards:
