Device description
The Tek RMD (Robotic Mobilization Device) is an electric lift and mobile stander. It brings persons from a
seated position to a passive standing position.
The main components of the Tek Robotic Mobilization Device are; standard wheels, standard back
wheels, large wheels, large back wheels, foot plate, knee supports, main body, main arm, chest plate,
handle arms, foldable transfer board, lifting mechanism (gas spring or linear motor).
The Tek RMD has an electronic control unit and also a remote control, which controls the operation of
the system. The required energy is supplied by two serial connected 12 V Valve Regulated Lead Acid
Batteries which can be recharged with a battery charger included with the Tek RMD device. The safety
precautions have been embedded in the control unit functions.
The Tek RMD has 3 add-on modules. These modules enable the device to have different capabilities. 7
additional model options may be created with combinations of these 3 modules.
The first is a linear motor module, which replaces the gas spring module, and enables motorized
standing / sitting functions for users with limited strength in their upper body.
The second module consists of large front and back wheels and associated hardware. This module
enables a more comfortable drive in some outdoor environments. The standard wheels can be replaced
with the larger wheels easily by the user or care giver. This module includes a separate lifting jack that
lifts the Tek RMD off of the ground to enable changing the wheels.
The third module is a foldable transfer board used for getting on / off the device. This module enables
the users to transfer themselves to Tek RMD from its side.

WARNING:
●This device is designed for use in temperatures between -25° to 50° C (-13° to 122° F). Do not operate
the Tek RMD beyond this temperature range. Using the device in temperatures above or below this
range may lead to device malfunctioning and possibly injury or death.
●Driving the Tek RMD over mats, cables, debris or any material which might entangle the wheels may
cause instability and tipping, resulting in injury or death, property damage, and damage to the
device. Only operate the Tek RMD over stable and clear surfaces.
●Protruding objects can obstruct access routes. When driving too close to obstructions, the Tek RMD
user may unintentionally hit the protruding object, causing injury and leading to instability and
tipping. Leaning to avoid protruding objects may also cause tipping, which may result in injury or
death, property damage, and damage to the device. When navigating narrow clearances or areas
with protruding objects, always drive the device along the safest path of travel away from any
potential obstructions. Also avoid leaning and shifting weight and balance to one side of the device.
Remain in the normal seated or standing position. Ask for assistance if navigating a difficult and
narrow pathway.
●Operating the Tek RMD with improper foot protection (i.e. flip flops or socks without shoes), will
expose feet to injury as well as slipping, which may result in injury or property damage, and damage
to the device. Always wear comfortable and stable shoes with support, adequate foot protection and
surface grip in order to avoid injury or slipping.
●Operating the Tek RMD without clothing may lead to injury from the device or surrounding objects.
Always wear sufficient and comfortable clothing to protect the body from harm.
●Operating the Tek RMD with loose and free-flowing clothing can cause clothing to get caught in the
certain parts of the device. Always wear tight fitting clothing when operating or in proximity to the
device.
●The Tek RMD standard wheel mode is designed for use on gradients no greater than 3 degrees / 5%
slope. Navigating gradients above 3 degrees /5% slope using the standard wheel mode may cause
instability and tipping, resulting in injury or death, property damage, and damage to the device.
Always drive the device along the safest path of travel with the lowest gradient, avoiding any
suspicious slopes.
●Operating the Tek RMD while in standard wheel mode outside or on an unstable, wet, icy, or slippery
surface is prohibited and may cause instability, slipping, and tipping, which may result in injury or
death, property damage, and damage to the device. Always drive the device on dry, firm, and stable
surfaces indoors only while the device is adjusted to the standard wheel mode. Do not attempt to
travel with the Tek RMD outside while in standard wheel mode.
