INDICATIONS /
CONTRAINDICATIONS
In case of allergic reactions, skin rashes
and/or pressure sores during the use of
the multifunction and bearing wheelchair
contact a doctor immediately.
In order to prevent contact allergies, we
recommend to use the multifunction and
bearing wheelchair only when wearing
clothes.
The multifunction and bearing wheelchair
serves to support in case of physical resp.
psychological handicaps, when a long-term
upright sitting posture is not possible in a
common wheelchair, resp. the user has
an increased demand for regular posture
changes and needs to stay in the multifunc-
tion and bearing wheelchair for longer peri-
ods of time, e. g. in case of:

7
– Extreme to fully pronounced limitations
in mobility/walking with structural and/
or functional damages of the lower ex-
tremities (u.o. amputation, after-effects
of injuries, musculoskeletal/neuromus-
culoskeletally caused motion limita-
tions).
– Impairments in sitting, the sitting stabil-
ity or/and damages to the cardio vascu-
lar system (e. g. orthostasis),
– Extreme to fully pronounced lack of
muscle strength,
– Missing or limited torso and body sta-
bility,
– Neurological disease patterns, such as
cerebrocranial injuries, MS, ALS, severe
dementia,
– Hemiplegia,
– Geriatric diseases,
– Rheumatistic diseases, other neurologi-
cal or geriatric diseases.
The multifunction and bearing wheelchair
may not be used in case of the inability to
sit.
The multifunction and bearing wheelchair
may not be used without an accompanying
person in case of:
– uncontrolled balance disorders,
– cognition disorders,
– loss of extremities on both arms,
– contractures / damages of the joints on
both arms,
– insufficient or no eyesight,
– people for whom, due to their physical
proportions, the wheelchair cannot be
adapted properly,
– A seat inclination/ seat camber can lead
to problems for people, who react sen-
sitively to high blood pressure, du to
the increased venous backflow from
the lower extremities.
☞Please ask your doctor, therapist or
specialist dealer to these and possi-
ble other risks in combination with
this product.
ACCEPTANCE
All products are checked for faults in the
factory and packed in special boxes.
We nevertheless ask you, immediately after
receipt of the multifunction and bearing
wheelchair – best while the delivery agent
is present – to check for any damages that
might have occurred during transport.
☞The packaging of the multifunction
and bearing wheelchair should be
stored for a further transport that might
become necessary.
INTENDED PURPOSE
The multifunction and bearing wheelchair
serves independent mobility of one person
or transport by an accompanying person.
In excess to the mobility aspect, the multi-
function and bearing wheelchair serves the
bearing position of the user, when he is not
able to do so by himself and an upright sit-
ting position can muscularly or cognitively
not be stabilised for a longer period of time.

We recommend a regular control if the
wheelchair adjustment in order to ensure
a long-term optimal provision even with
changing illness/handicap patterns of the
user. Especially for juveniles an adjustment
every 6 months is recommendable.
COMBINATION WITH MAN-
UFACTURER FOREIGN
PRODUCTS
Any combination of your multifunction
and bearing wheelchair with components
not supplied by us generally results in an
amendment to your multifunction and
bearing wheelchair. Please inquire with us
if there is a valid combination clearance/
release.
Auxiliary drives
Mounting of additional- and front attach-
ment drives constitute an extreme amend-
ment of the multifunction and bearing
wheelchair. Due to this amendment the
declaration of conformity for this multifunc-
tion and bearing wheelchair expires.
The verification of conformity in combina-
tion with the valid medical device directive
/ medical device ordinance lies in the re-
sponsibility of the supplier of the additional
or header drive. He is also responsible for
the product included documentation of the
medical product combination.

BRAKE
Arrange an immediate repair of the brakes
by your specialist workshop if the braking
performance reduces.
Multifunction and bearing wheelchairs
with PU-tyres when stored for longer pe-
riods of time, should be put away safely
without activated pressure brakes, since
otherwise permanent deformations to
the tyre surface could occur.
By locking the brakes with the brake lever
(1), the multifunction and bearing wheel-
chair is secured against rolling away unin-
tentionally (parking brake).
Depending on the version, the multi-
function and bearing wheelchair can be
equipped with pressure brakes (2) or with
drum brakes (3).
