Maintenance / Cleaning
To ensure longevity of the chair and safety for the user, the following should be included in
the daily inspection:
• Inspect and clean the wheels of dust and dirt
• Inspect and clean the wheel brakes of dust and dirt
• Check that all screws and nuts are properly tightened
• Check that the snaplock clips are securely fastened
After each use, or according to facility protocol, the Combi chair may be cleaned/disin-
fected with non-abrasive, non-corrosive solutions. The PUR seat and backrest can be
detached for cleaning, as can the bucket / bedpan holder (NOTE: the rear section of the
bucket / bedpan holder must be lifted upwards before removing the two rods from the
holes). The entire Combi chair may also be washed / autoclaved at 85 degrees Celsius for
3 minutes. Avoid harsh solvents and chlorine. If alcohol is used to clean the black polyure-
thane, discolouration may occur. Ensure all parts are re-attached correctly prior to use.
Reuse
Follow the above procedures. Defective or worn parts must be replaced.
