TABLE SURFACE that could cause damage or burns if overturned
-DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND ON THE FOOTREST OR THE BACK OF

When the SEAT is COMPLETELY TILTED BACKWARDS and the BACK is

SLOPES that, SINCE THEY COULD EXCEED 12°, COULD CAUSE THE
STROLLER TO TIP OVER (SEE FIG. PAGE 10)

HOW TO USE JUDITTA FOR TRANSPORT ON A MOVING VEHICLE
(private cars, bus, etc..)
JUDITTA WHEELCHAIR conforms to the ISO 7176-19 and ANSI RESNA WC/19 standard,
which defines the safety requirements for transport, facing in the direction of travel on
moving vehicles (private cars, buses, etc..) following these warnings:
-THE WHEELCHAIR-SEATED OCCUPANT MUST FACE THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE (see
fig. 2, page 14). According to the ISO 7176-19 point 6.3.4, compliance with ISO 7176-19 does not
preclude using the wheelchair facing rearwards in large accessible vehicles equipped and
approved with rear-facing wheelchair passenger stations
-The User should weigh no more than 136 kilos because the CRASH TEST provided by the
ISO and ANSI/RESNA standards only refers to wheelchairs/pushchairs for users whose weight is
136 kilos or less
-THE VEHICLE MUST BE APPROVED FOR TRANPORTING ORTHOPAEDIC
WHEELCHAIRS/PUSHCHAIRS IN CONFORMITY WITH STANDARD ISO 7176-19 (see fig.2,
page 14)
-THE WHEELCHAIR MUST BE ANCHORED TO THE VEHICLE WITH THE BACKREST AND
THE LEGRESTS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION using: 1) a four-point strap-type tie down
system that complies with ISO 10542-2 supplied with the vehicle (see fig.2, page 14) and 2)
our accessory 891 – SET OF 4 TIE-DOWN HOOKS (4 rings) (see fig. 1, page 13, fig.2 page 14
and fig.3 page 15)
−THE USER MUST WEAR BOTH A LAP BELT AND A DIAGONAL SHOULDER BELT ISO
7176-19 or ISO 10542- APPROVED (i.e. belts with a label of conformity to these ISO
standards). THE USE OF A LAP BELT BY ITSELF IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Postural belts,
such as model 828 are not type-approved for use as restraint systems and can only be
used in addition
WARNINGS!
ORMESA RECOMMENDS THE USE OF A COMPLETE ISO 10542-2 COMPLIANT “WTORS”
SYSTEM, which consists of restraint systems for both the wheelchair and its occupant
-Whenever the user is transferred on a seat of the vehicle, the unoccupied wheelchair
should be stored in a cargo area or secured in the vehicle during the travel
-In order to preserve their effectiveness, belt restraints should not be held away from the body
by wheelchair components or pats, such as the wheelchair armrests or wheels (see fig. 3 and
4, page 15)
-shoulder-belt restraints should fit over the shoulders (see fig. 3 page 15)
-belt restraints should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent with user comfort and belt
webbing should not be twisted when in use
-in order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, during transport the tray and all
accessories should be removed and secured separately in the vehicle
THE WHEELCHAIR MUST BE INSPECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR ITS AUTHORIZED
RETAILER OR DISTRIBUTOR BEFORE REUSE FOLLOWING INVOLVEMENT IN ANY TYPE
OF VEHICLE COLLISION
ANY ALTERATION OR SUBSTITUTION OF THE 891 TIEDOWN HOOKS OR WHEELCHAIR
PARTS OR COMPONENTS, WITHOUT THE WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION OF ORMESA SRL,
IS FORBIDDEN AND WILL VOID THE “ ” MARK AND THE WARRANTY

ABOUT JUDITTA WHEELCHAIR. Intended use
JUDITTA wheelchair was designed based on more than twenty-five years of experience
with the elderly and disabled and is intended for hospital and home use. It may be
used outside if the warnings and instructions of this manual are observed, especially the
paragraphs “Warnings” on page 4 and 5, “Some examples of what not to do
with JUDITTA” on page 7 and “Maintenance, Cleaning and Disinfection” on pages 
DQG.
The aid is intended for those adults who do not have control of their trunk and/or
that tend to slide on one side or to sit on their coccyx rather than on their gluteus
and allows convalescents, disabled, elderly, etc. TO REMAIN IN IT FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS LYING DOWN AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO STAYING IN BED.
The conformation and reclining of the backrest, the seat tilting and the reclining of
the leg rests allow the user to be positioned lying down, semi-lying down or
seated, while maintaining constant trunk-pelvis containment.
THE INCLINATION OF THE SEAT, THE CONFORMATION OF THE
BACKREST (TRIANGULAR) AND THE LOAD-BEARING PADDING
PREVENT SLIDING FORWARD AND FAVOUR TRANSPIRATION. THIS
ARRANGEMENT ALLOWS THE TRUNK TO REST ON SEVERAL POINTS,
predominantly lateral with respect to the spinal column.
THE TRUNK IS KEPT PERPENDICULAR TO THE PELVIS without particular
mechanical lateral supports or containment belts.
The NARROW BASE allows easy access to lifts or small rooms
The HEADREST completes the user's posture.
