Tango XL Shower-toilet chair | Instructions for use | 5
1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction
The Tango XL shower-toilet chair is a medical device for caring and washing clients in
an ergonomically responsible manner. Comfort is the primary consideration for both the
client and the carer.
The Tango XL can also be used as a toilet chair, in combination with a bedpan / bucket.
The Tango XL is a shower-toilet chair with independent, folding armrests, polyurethane
two-piece removable seat, rails for a bedpan and rotating and foldable footrests.
The frame of the Tango XL has an antibacterial coating. The coating contains silver ions.
Antibacterial coating based on silver ions prevents dangerous micro-organisms such
as bacteria, fungi and algae multiply and spread. The effectiveness was confirmed
in several tests. Germs were demonstrably reduced in a short time to 99.99%. The
coating only affects bacteria that are found on the surface and not on airborne micro-
organisms. The coating protects users or others from disease-causing bacteria, germs,
viruses or other harmful organisms. On a dirty surface, the coating loses its antibacterial
properties So proper cleaning and disinfection is still a must.
The average technical life-cycle of the Tango XL is 10 years, assuming it is cleaned daily
and regularly maintained according to the maintenance schedule supplied (See chapter
4. Cleaning and maintenance).
The Tango XL is a medical class 1 product with CE marking. This marking is in accordance
with the regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745.

in these instructions for use could lead to hazardous situations. Please read

2.2. Working with the Tango XL
Step 1
If necessary, fold the armrests up (See paragraph 3.4. Armrests).
Step 2
Turn the footrests out of position (See paragraph 3.3. Footrests).
Step 3
The Tango XL must be put on the brakes before transferring persons (See paragraph
3.1. Wheel blocking).
Step 4
The client can take a seat in the chair. Support the client if necessary.
Step 5
Turn the footrests back in position and both feet on the footrests (See paragraph 3.3. Footrests).
Step 6
Fold the armrests again once the client has taken a seat in the chair (See paragraph
3.4. Armrests).
Step 7

wheel blocking).
3. Operation
3.1. Wheel blocking
• The brake can be applied on the Tango XL by pushing the
blue lip (1) on the wheel downwards (See figure 1).
• In order to take the Tango XL off the brake, the same lip
on the wheel must be moved upwards by tapping the
upper side of the lip (2) (See figure 1).Figure 1 Swivel wheel.

3.2. Directional /
braked wheel
The Tango XL has a standard
design with a directional / braked
caster. This makes pushing along
greater distances easier because
the seat will drift less sideways.
The directional / braked caster is
fastened in front.
To block the wheel direction, push down the black lip. N.B. Make sure the black lip
moves 1 stand downwards (1) (See figure 2) to lock the direction. When the black lip
moves 2 stands downwards, the wheel will be blocked. In order to lock the direction
again, the same lip on the wheel must be moved upwards by tapping on the upper side
of the black lip (2) (See figure 2).
3.3. Footrests
Before client positions him or
herself on the Tango XL, the
footrests must be lifted slightly
and turned outwards.
This provides enough room in
front of the seat, so that the
client can sit down easily.
When the client is seated, the carer or the client must first lift one leg, then the carer
turns the footrest forwards until it falls in the lock. The client rests his / her foot on the
footrest. Then repeat the procedure for the other leg. The footrests of the Tango XL are
adjustable in length. To do this, pull off the tube adjuster and select the desired position.
Then push the tube adjuster back onto the frame.
Always put this component back on the chair when you have finished using it.
This will prevent the component from being lost.

Option: Comfort leg supports.
The comfort leg supports provide the legs with additional support. The comfort leg sup-
ports can be adjusted in length as well as according to the sitting angle. The angle of
the leg supports can be adjusted to 4 positions (See figure 5 to 8). To change the sea-
ting angle, you have to release the locking pin. When you have determined the correct
position, lock the sitting angle of the comfort support once again (See figure 9).
Make sure that the locking pin slips in well into one of the 4 holes.
To adjust the length of the leg supports, you have to release the locking pin underneath
by loosen it a bit (See figure 9). Choose the right length for the leg support and tighten
the locking pin again.
Make sure that both the sitting angle and the length of the leg support are
locked properly as soon as they have to support a load.
Always place these parts on the seat as soon as you finish using them. This
prevents you from looking for the parts.

3.4. Armrests
• The independent folding armrests are easy to fold up.
• Protect the user when moving the armrests upwards and
downwards.
• In the folded up position, they should not fall back down by
themselves; in other cases: consult your supplier.
When folding the armrests away, avoid the hinging
point to prevent possible entrapment.
When folding the armrests away, avoid fingers or body
parts becoming entrapped between the armrest and
the back support.
The armrests or front closure must not be used as
a lever arm (e.g. when moving the chair over an
obstacle) or as a push / pull bar. You must not sit
on it either. This could damage the Tango XL and /
or present a hazard.
3.5. Toilet function
3.5.1. In combination with toilet
• The Tango XL can be moved backwards over the toilet.
The Tango XL does not fit over every toilet.
3.5.2. Use of a bedpan or bucket
• If the Tango XL is being used as a toilet chair, the special
guides under the seat can be used to accommodate a
stainless steel / plastic bedpan or bucket.
• The bedpan or bucket is slid in from the back of the chair
(See figure 12).
• If you are using the Lopital plastic bedpan, you must slide
it as far forwards as possible (See figure 13).
• If you are using a stainless steel bedpan or bucket, the bed-
pan can be placed in 2 positions under the seat. At the front
of the seat (See figure 14) or at the back of the seat (See figure 15).

Tango XL Shower-toilet chair | Instructions for use | 13
In order to avoid injuries, we advise the carer to insert
the bucket or bedpan before the client takes a seat on
the chair.
The Lopital plastic bedpan, stainless steel bedpan and
bucket must be cleaned and disinfected after use, for
example in a bedpan washing unit.
If the Lopital plastic bedpan, stainless steel bedpan or
bucket has been used, it must be removed from the
chair before the chair is moved or adjusted in height.
3.6. Removable seat
If required, the seat of the Tango XL can be taken off the
frame. By doing so, the seat can be cleaned even better.
The seat can be taken off the frame without using tools.
Pull the seat upwards in the front (See figure 16). To put
the seat back, press the seat back onto the frame. Ensure
that the seat fits well around the frame. Figure 16 Seat.

4. Cleaning and maintenance
The Tango XL must be cleaned after every use, with water and regular household
cleaning agents. PUR integrated foam components with IMC coating should be rubbed
clean and disinfected. Do not use any abrasive or other aggressive cleaning products.
If necessary, the PUR components can be disinfected with a solution of 70% ethanol or
propanol.
The time the products must be left on the components has a significant impact upon the
lifespan of the PUR components. As a result of the material properties of PUR, contact
with sharp objects must be avoided. This could lead to damage or tears in the material.
Finally, we would like to point out that non-critical parts of the PUR components must
also be cleaned and disinfected.
Check the wheels regularly for hairs, dust and soap residues and remove when
necessary. Maintenance and repairs to the Tango XL may only be carried out by
authorised personnel.
Maintenance schedule
After every use
• Clean chair with water and regular household cleaning
products.
• PUR foam components must be cleaned and disinfected.
• Check to ensure all parts of the Tango XL are present,
including the footrests.
Weekly
• Check wheels for hairs, dust and soap residues and remove
if necessary.
• Check that the chair is still working correctly.
Annually • According to the regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745 medical
devices, a chair must be maintained according to the
manufacturer’s guidelines.
For a detailed explanation regarding cleaning and disinfecting, see the document
‘Cleaning and Disinfection Protocol’ on our website www.lopital.com/downloads.
