SAFETY WARNINGS TO CONSIDER FOR USER PURPOSES

THIS DEVICE IS SUITABLE FOR TYPE A; HIGH USAGE (e.g. INSTITUTIONS) AND SHOULD NEVER

BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN ORIGINALLY INTENDED

Forward Stability

The casters on all models are equipped with dual locks. The step-on

lever activates both the roll lock and the swivel lock. It is essential that

all casters on the shower chair be in an outward position before

engaging the locks for optimal forward and lateral stability. If so

equipped, disengage the optional directional caster lock before rotating

the rear caster to the rearward position and applying the caster’s dual-

locks.

USERS MUST NOT lean forward while sitting in the Raz Mobile Shower

Commode Chair as this may cause the chair to tip forward.

USERS MUST NOT wheel down a ramp without an attendant who can

hold onto the chair during the descent.

RQD013ENr04 Rev. Date: 2022-10-25

CASTER LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES! Never use caster locks to

slow down the shower chair when descending inclines as this

could cause the chair to tip in the direction of travel.

Lateral Stability

USERS MUST NOT lean over the edge of a Raz Mobile Shower

Commode Chair as this could cause the chair to tip.

USERS MUST NOT attempt to pick up objects from the floor by leaning

over andreaching –use a reacher or ask for assistance from anattendant.

USERS MUST NOT position the Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair on

a side slope as this could cause it to tip.

Ramps and Other Inclines

Ramps and other surfaces that are not level (suchas slopes into wheel- in

showers) must be tested with an attendant to ensure that they don’t

compromise the chair’s stability. A qualified healthcare professional

should be consulted to assist with this process.

DO NOT push or pull the Raz-AT600 up or down an incline or ramp

that exceeds a 1:12 grade (5° slope).

DO NOT allowany userto be propelled (pushedor pulled) in a Raz-AT600

in any other manner than by an attendant.

ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE RAZ-AT600 IS STABLE BEFORE IT IS

OCCUPIED BY ANY USER AT ANY TIME.

Immersion

The Raz Mobile Shower Commode Chair is not designed to be

used as a pool chair. Do not immerse the shower chair in whole

or in part, in water or any other liquid. Immersion may result in

damage to the shower chair.

Chlorine Exposure

Suitable for use in wet areas, but not pools and similarly corrosive

environments.

DO NOT store the device near pools because chlorine in

the air will cause the device to rust.

RQD013ENr04 Rev. Date: 2022-10-25

Transfers

The most dangerous part of using any shower chair is the transfer. Since

every chair has different stability characteristics, it is essential to carefully

review and test the transfer technique to ensure that the procedureissafe.

Test transfers should beperformedwithan attendant who can prevent the

chair from tipping or moving during the transfer. If you feel that the

transfers cannot be repeatedly performed safely, contact a healthcare

professional who is familiar with transfer techniques and options.

Individuals who have not learned proper transfer skills must seek

assistance during transfers and may require the use of a mechanical lift.

Transferring onto a Raz-AT600

ALWAYS lock all four casters in an outward position (front casters

positioned in the forward position/rear casters positioned to the rear) for

maximum chair stability.

Transfers should never be attempted with the shower chair

positioned on slippery surfaces. It is recommended that transfers be

performed on clean, dry, non-slippery surfaces. Hard surface flooring

such as tile, wood or concrete may not provide sufficient grip to keep

locked casters and/or rear wheels from sliding. A fully-carpeted

surface is optimal. Be aware that area rugs and shower mats can slide on

floors and thereby present a hazardous surface.

DO NOT stand on any part of the frame of the Raz-AT600.

NEVER use the footplates to assist in transfers. This could cause the

chair to tip. The footrests should be swung to the side or removed entirely

during transfers to provide unobstructed access to the shower chair.

Tilt Function

ALWAYS check the tilt function and ensure both locking gas springs and release cable assemblies are

fully operational BEFORE the chair is occupied by the user.

A pelvic strap can act as an additional safeguard for the user. A pelvic support strap may be ordered as

an option with the Raz-AT600.

DO NOT attempt to tilt an occupant if the attendant is physically incapable of safely and smoothly

operating the tilt function.

NEVER leave the user unattended in a Raz-AT600.

The Raz-AT600 is NOT intended for use as a transportation device or a long-term seating system.

IMPORTANT

USERS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN A RAZ MOBILE SHOWER

COMMODE CHAIR.

RQD013ENr04 Rev. Date: 2022-10-25

4.0 USE AND OPERATION

IMPORTANT

ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD NEVER BE ATTEMPTED WITH THE USER IN THE CHAIR.

4.1 Tilt Function

The Raz-AT600 tilts up to 40o to provide comfort and relieve

pressure for the user. Two gas spring struts facilitate this action and

make the tilt smooth for the user and facilitate the tilting function for

the attendant. To tilt the chair, the attendant must squeeze both tilt

triggers and move the chair to the desired angle. To lock the chair

in place, the triggers are simply released. Directly after purchase,

the triggers and springs may seem stiff. This stiffness is normal and

diminishes with use. Using the tilt-assist pedal will help to tilt the seat

frame back. The tilt function must only take place when the casters

are locked.

NOTE: When the chair is mounted at the lowest height setting the

maximum potential tilt angle is 40o. The higher the chair is set, the

fewer degrees the chair can be tilted back.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TILT A RAZ MOBILE SHOWER COMMODE CHAIR IF THE ATTENDANT IS

PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF SAFELY AND SMOOTHLY OPERATING THE TILT MECHANISM WITH

A USER OCCUPYING THE CHAIR. ANY ATTENDANT MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH PROPER TILTING

TECHNIQUES PRIOR TO ASSISTING A USER IN THE SHOWER COMMODE. A PELVIC STRAP IS

RECOMMENDED FOR ANY USER AS AN EXTRA SAFETY PRECAUTION.

between the crossbar and armrest mounting plates.

4. The sixth (6) strap is positioned below the armrest mounting

plates.

5. Adjust all of the straps to meet the user’s needs.

In order to adjust the back upholstery, each strap can be tightened

or loosened in the buckles to achieve a wide range of positions. For

example, the second and third straps from the bottom can be

tightened to create more pronounced support in the lumbar area of

the back.

To remove the Adjustable-Tension Back Upholstery, release the buckles

on the straps.

and chest positioning straps.

3. Install the back upholstery and other positioning accessories on the chair and allow to dry.

DO NOT dry the back upholstery in a clothes dryer or damage to the upholstery may occur.

4. Assemble all plastic buckles and tri-glides onto straps.

5. Adjust the straps to the desired tension.

5.2.2 Frame, Armrests, Adjustable Footrests, and Other Components

1. Spray the frame and components with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaner, scrub with a soft brush

and rinse with water.

2. If necessary, spray the frame and components with a diluted (10 parts water to 1 part solution)

calcium/lime remover (such as CLR), scrub with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly with water. DO

NOT mix a calcium/lime removal solution with any other liquid or toxic fumes may occur.

It is recommended to the user that a qualified Raz dealer check over all fasteners and subassemblies if

there is cause for concern regarding the shower chair’s performance.

Several times each year the shower chair and its components should be wiped down with a diluted

calcium/lime removal solution to reduce deposits, followed by a hot water rinse.

To reduce the risk of mildew buildup, the entire chair should be wiped down with a soft dry cloth after the

final rinse and before storage or use.
