Handicare RoMedic OneWaySlide 2069 User manual

Manual
OneWaySlide is used for repositioning farther back in a chair/wheelchair. OneWaySlide is designed to glide easily back-
ward, but not forward. It is placed so that the patient remains sitting on it.
OneWaySlide is part of a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of model and material is
determined by the patient’s functional capacity and the situations in which the product is to be used.
RoMedic’s products together form the SystemRoMedic concept, which takes a holistic approach to patient transfers.
SystemRoMedic has four categories of transfers: transfer, positioning, support and lifting.
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the product regularly, and always after laundering. Check to ensure that the fabric is
not worn, damaged or bleached. If there are signs of wear, the product must be discarded.
Read instructions for all assistive devices used in connection with transfers.
To prevent discomfort, exercise care and caution when using the product.
Functional inspection
Always read the instructions
Max: 150 kg/330 lbs

Functional inspection
Check to ensure that the OneWaySlide lies securely on the seat cushion. A rough mate-
rial on the top of the seat cushion gives the best result.
Place the OneWaySlide as indicated by the arrow on the product label and allow it to
hang about 10 cm over the front edge of the cushion.
NOTE! Place OneWaySlide according to instructions on product label. Incorrect place-
ment may entail a risk of the patient sliding out of the chair.
Placement of OneWaySlide
Test OneWaySlide’s friction by rolling it and noting how easily it glides. Check to ensure that it
resists movement in the opposite direction. If possible, compare with a new OneWaySlide.
Using OneWaySlide
If the patient slides forward in the wheelchair, the caregiver
can help them to lean forward and provide counter pressure,
thereby enabling the patient to slide back in the chair.
Make sure the knees are raised to the same level as the hips.
This can be done with the aid of a FootStool.
