Preface
Thank you for purchasing the ROBBY bathing and lying support. This brochure describes various setting and adjus-
tment options and offers suggestions for its use.
It will show you how to use the support properly and also explain how to perform simple care and maintenance.
To prevent any damages that could occur due to improper operation and allow for the best possible use, please read
the following instructions carefully.
If any questions or problems arise in connection with using this product, please contact your provider.
We hope the ROBBY meets your expectations and helps make your life more comfortable by providing you with trou-
ble-free operation.
Indications
(Source: Catalog and list of therapy aids of German health insurance companies)
Bathing supports are designed for the use in a bath tub. This bathing support can also be used in the shower if it
fits.
The ROBBY is intended especially for children from two years of age who lack trunk control or who are inclined to
excessive muscular tension (for example, due to cerebral paresis).
CE conformity
This product meets the requirements of the 93/42/EWG guidelines for medical products. This product has been classified
as a class I product according to the classification criteria outlined in appendix IX of the guidelines. The declaration of
conformity was therefore created by Otto Bock with sole responsibility according to appendix VII of the guidelines.
ROBBY Bathing and Lying Support
The Robby bathing support is a shower and bathing aid that allows you to make various adjustments to best fit the
needs of your child.
The Robby bathing support supports the child in both lying and sitting positions.
The hook and loop closure tensioning straps that support the upholstery can be tightened or loosened to better ac-
commodate children with muscular tension.
To keep soap from getting in the child’s eyes during hair washing, the headrest can either be turned backwards or the
fabric upholstery can be removed from this section to allow for free motion of the head.
The ROBBY has been designed to grow with your child, and has telescoping frame tubes that can easily be modified
to change back length and seat depth.
The construction and functions of the Robby bathing support are explained in detail in the following section.
Construction and Function of the Basic Version
The Robby bathing support consists of a lower leg section (1), seat (2), backrest (3) and headrest (4). (Fig. 1)
The frame is covered with two sections of upholstery that overlap each other in the pelvic area and which are connec-
ted with hook and loop straps. To accommodate any growth the child may experience, the hook and loop straps can
be loosened to allow for greater or lesser upholstery depth.
The angle of the bathing support is set with ratchet-lock joints found on either side (Fig. 2). To unlock and set the
ratchet-lock joint, press the push-button (Fig. 3). After setting the position, release the push-button and lock the joint
by moving it to the nearest locking position.
The individual sections of the bathing support can be adjusted with the ratchet-lock joints A, B, C and D (Fig. 4).
To adjust the sections, opposing ratchet-lock joint push-buttons must be depressed simultaneously and held during
adjustment (Fig. 5).
The easiest way to release the push-button is to press it in with your thumb while using your other fingers to adjust
the angle of the support.
Once you’ve reached the desired position release the push-buttons of the ratcheting-lock joints. The joints will lock
automatically.

12
Upholstery
The tension of the upholstery can be adjusted individually with the hook and loop straps (Fig. 6).
General Handling
If the ROBBY is dry, the easiest way to adjust the support is to butt one section up against your chest while holding
it with your hands on the ratcheting-lock joints(Fig. 7). You can facilitate the whole procedure with the upper half of
your body.
The setting position shown in Fig. 8 is awkward and requires too much force and is therefore not recommended.
Setting and Adjustment Options
Adjust the bathing support using the procedure described above. Both sitting positions (Fig. 9) and lying positions
(Fig. 10). are set in the same way.
Headrest Adjustment
To help prevent soap from getting in the child’s eyes release the ratchet-lock joint D and move the headrest backwards
(Fig. 11).
Another option is to remove the upholstery from the headrest. In this situation the child’s head is completely unsuppor-
ted and, in case of poor head control, should be supported by hand of the attendant (Fig. 12).
To minimize excessive neck musculature tension, the headrest can also be adjusted forwards in conjunction with an
increase in hip flexion,
Setting and Adjustment Options
Length Adjustment of the Back:
To change the length of the back section, loosen the bolts on either side of the back section with a hex cap socket
wrench (Fig. 13).
Then loosen the hook and loop straps of both overlapping parts of the upholstery fabric in the pelvic section of the
backrest (Fig. 14).
Next pull the headrest upwards and simultaneously hold the seat with the other hand.
When the required position is reached, tighten both bolts again. Make sure that each bolt has been screwed back
into the hole it was removed them. (Fig. 15).
Now pull both parts of upholstery fabric tightly again one upon another and connect them with the hook and loop
straps (Fig. 16).
Length Adjustment of the Seat:
To change the seat length, loosen the bolts on either side of the seat with a hex cap socket wrench (Fig. 17).
Then loosen the hook and loop straps on both overlapping pelvic sections of upholstery(Fig. 18).
Because the required upholstery in this case comes from the back section, it may be necessary to loosen the lowest
tensioning strap.
Pull the foot section so as to set the required length and fix the new setting position with both screws.
Now pull both parts of upholstery fabric again tightly one over the other and connect them with the hook and loop
closures. If necessary, connect the loosened tension strap on the backside side again.
Accessories
Headrest
The headrest (Fig.22) consists of two foam pads with upholstery, which are located on either side of the head (Fig.
23).
Once you’ve determined the correct headrest height, you can fix it in place with the upholstery length strap (Fig.
24).
To set the correct width of the headrest pads, lift the outside end of the pad to be adjusted and move the pad into the
required position (Fig. 25). Subsequently fix the pad by pressing it on the guide belt hook and loop fastener. Repeat
this procedure with the other pad.

13
Trunk Strap
The trunk strap (Fig. 26) offers additional restraint for children who experience involuntary, spontaneous movements,
which could otherwise make their position insecure. The trunk belt can be adjusted in height just like the headrest with
longitudinal straps attached to the upholstery.
Additional restraint can be provided by reducing the tension of the upholstery to create a larger space for the child.
Another possibility for providing greater trunk support is to use the headrest as a trunk guide. The headrest, with its
special shape and size is well suited for this use (Fig. 27).
Leg Straps
The leg straps (Fig. 28) restrain the legs and counteract extension movements, which can make the positioning and
care of the child more difficult.
The straps are also height adjustable, just like the headrest and trunk straps (Fig. 29).
If necessary, these straps can be also be used to support and guide the child’s thighs.
All accessories, unless installed by the manufacturer, are to be installed by skilled personnel.
Practical Instructions on Safety, Maintenance and Care
• The maximal load capacity is 30 kg for size 1 and 60 kg for size 2.
• Robby is a therapeutic device and can only be used under supervision!
• Use only on a flat, even surface!
• During the installation, or when folding the bathing support, be careful not to pinch your fingers.
• The yoke for back height adjustment, the Ratchet-lock joint B (Fig. 4) and the end of the lower leg rest should al
ways be in contact with the tub.
• Although the position shown in Figure 30 is adjustable, spontaneous movements made by the child (e.g. due to
spasticity, cramping, athetoses) may result in a rocking movement of the bathing support, which can cause the child
to become unstable or even slip out of the bathing support if restraints aren’t used.
• Clean all frame and net parts with mild household detergents only.
• After use the bathing support can be folded to save space (Fig. 19). When the support is folded the headrest should
be pointing downwards (Fig. 20). The rubber tube protectors provide protection against slipping and also release
any water through the drain holes.
• The mesh material allows for free water flow and can be removed for washing (max. 60° C).
• Prior to washing the device, it is advisable to close the straps and pack the upholstery fabric into a pillow case so
that it can be easily unfolded after being washed and prevent from mixing in with other items in the wash.
• If necessary, remove any stray material that accumulates in the hook and loop closures with a nail brush.
• I any damage to the upholstery occurs, replace it immediately.
• No other maintenance is necessary.
Liability
The manufacturer’s warranty applies only if the product has been used under the conditions and for the purposes
described. The manufacturer recommends that the product be used and maintained according to the instructions for
use.
