Elexo Shower-toilet chair | Instructions for use | 5
1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction
The Elexo electric height-adjustable shower-toilet chair is an aid for the ergonomic care
and washing of the client. For both the client and the carer, the comfort is optimal.
The Elexo can be used with a commode pan / bucket or in combination with a toilet,
can also be used as a toilet seat. The Elexo consists of a base and a chair section.
The seat section has the same comfort as a normal chair and offers the same proper
support. There are no essential performances.
The frame of the Elexo 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 expected technical lifetime of the Elexo is 10 years, provided that daily and
periodic maintenance is carried out according to the specified maintenance schedule
(See chapter 5: Cleaning and maintenance).
The Elexo is a medical class 1 product with CE marking. This marking is in accordance
with the regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745. The Elexo is tested for electromagnetic
radiation according to the 60601-1-2 standard.
1.2. Safety
A failure to comply with the following safety points and the further definitions
in these instructions for use could lead to hazardous working situations. Please
read carefully before use.

Step 10
Take the chair off the brake when you wish to move it (See paragraph 3.1. Wheel blocking).
Always move the chair in the low position.
Step 11
When you wish to move the chair upwards / downwards, you must apply the brake
(See paragraph 3.4. Moving upwards / downwards).

12 | Instructions for use | Elexo Shower-toilet chair
3. Operation
3.1. Wheel blocking
• The brake can be applied on the Elexo by pushing the blue
lip (1) on the wheel downwards (See figure 2).
• In order to take the Elexo off the brake, the same lip on the
wheel must be moved upwards by tapping the upper side
of the lip (2) (See figure 2).
Option: Swivel wheel left front.
3.2. Footrests
• Before the client takes a seat in the Elexo, the footrests
must be folded upwards. This will ensure there is sufficient
space for the person to easily take a seat in the chair
(See figure 3). If more room is required, the footrests can
be turned out (See figure 4). First, the footrests must be
slightly raised (1) and then they can be turned outwards (2).
• The carer or the client first raises one leg; the carer can
then folds the footrest down (See figure 5). The same
procedure is then carried out with the other leg.
Always replace this component on the chair when you
have finished using it. This will avoid the component
being lost.

Option: Comfort leg supports.
The comfort leg supports provide the legs with additional support. The comfort leg
supports 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 6 to 9). To change the
seating 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 10).
Make sure that the locking pin slips in well into one of the 4 holes.
To adjust the length of the leg support, you have to release the locking pin underneath
by loosen it a bit (See figure 10). 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.

3.3. Armrests with front closure
• If the client has taken a seat on the Elexo, the armrests
with front closure can be folded down; these are then
turned for the person concerned.
• The armrests with front closure are secured in a horizontal
position.
• The armrests can be unlocked by pressing the security
catch at the hinging point on the frame (See figure 11). The
armrest can then be turned up for the client and folded up.
• Always protect the client when folding the armrests up or
down.
• The armrests can also be used as a support when taking
a seat or standing up. Be aware that the armrests are not
locked in all positions.
Option: Dual locking.
The extra lock ensures that the front closure is also locked
when turned away (See figure 13).
Option: Straight armrest.
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 Elexo and / or present a hazard.

3.5. Toilet function
3.5.1. In combination with toilet
• The Elexo can also be moved over the toilet.
• Remove the seat inlay from the seat before the person sits
down in the chair.
• Once the person has taken a seat and the armrests are
closed, the carer must move the Elexo to the appropriate
height.
• Move the Elexo, if necessary, upwards or downwards to
achieve the right position.
• The Elexo can now be moved backwards over the toilet.
• Lower the Elexo, if necessary, to achieve the right position.
The Elexo does not fit over every toilet.
3.5.2. Use of a bedpan or bucket
• If the Elexo 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 17).
• If you are using the Lopital plastic bedpan, you must slide
it as far forwards as possible (See figure 18).
• If you are using a stainless steel bedpan or bucket, the
bedpan can be placed in 2 positions under the seat. At the
front of the seat (See figure 19) or at the back of the seat
(See figure 20).
In order to avoid injuries, we advise the carer to remove
the inlay from the seat and 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. Charging battery
• The Elexo is an electrically driven high / low shower-toilet
chair and works on a battery.
• The charging point is located on the front of the chair, on
the blue cover on the underside of the device (See figure
21).
• If the battery is almost completely empty of charge, the
orange light on the manual control will come on; this
means that the battery needs to be charged.
• If the LED is on continuous red, the battery must be
charged immediately. The chair can then no longer be
used.
• Connect the charger to the Elexo (See figure 21).
• Once the charger is connected to the Elexo, the controls will go into ‘sleep’ setting
(all functions are switched off).
Make sure that you push the plug into the correct position in the charging point.
Only the original charger for the Elexo may be used. If you use another charger,
Lopital cannot be held liable for any consequences, such as damage
to the electronics.
Once the charger is connected to the Elexo, the controls will go into ‘sleep’
setting (all functions are switched off).
The charger that must be used for the Elexo is the ‘Mascot 2241’.
• When the indicator light on the charger goes green, the battery is charged.
The charger can remain connected even when the battery is completely charged.
Leaving it connected will not cause any damage.
• Disconnect the Elexo from the charger.
• Once activated, the Elexo is now ready for use (See paragraph 2.2. Activating).

4.2. Sleep setting
After around an hour, the chair will fall into a ‘sleep’ setting and the battery indication
LEDs on the manual control will go out. In order to use the chair again, it must be
activated (See paragraph 2.2. Activating).
4.3. Emergency lowering
If the controls stop working and the chair is in a raised

button.
Check first to make sure the chair is not in sleep setting!
• Remove the plug from the manual control (1) (See
figure 25).
• Press the emergency lowering button (2) (See figure 25).
The chair will now return to the lowest position (make sure no persons or objects are
under the chair). Take the client from the chair and make sure the device is not used
until it has been repaired. Place the chair in a safe place and indicate that it is out of
order.
Contact the technical service or Lopital’s service
department. E-mail: [email protected]
4.4. On / Off switch
On the right hand side of the cover cap, there is the on /
off switch (See figure 26). If the chair is out of use for an
extended period, you are advised to turn it off. This will
prevent any unauthorised use of the chair.
5. Cleaning and maintenance
The Elexo 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.

Figure 26 On / off switch.

20 | Instructions for use | Elexo Shower-toilet chair
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 Elexo 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 Elexo are present, including
the footrests, the seat filler piece and the manual control.
Weekly
• Check wheels for hairs, dust and soap residues and remove
if necessary.
• Check that the chair is still working correctly.
• Charge the battery at least once a week.
Annually • According to the regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745 medical
devices, a chair must be maintained according to the
manufacturer’s guidelines. This process will preferably
be carried out by Lopital or another authorised body.
Lopital offers the option of having the chair thoroughly
inspected and serviced once a year via Periodic Preventative
Maintenance.
For more information about the maintenance contract,
please contact Lopital ([e-mail]) or speak to your
supplier.
