Maintenance of chairs
1.1 Maintenance / inspection requirements
In this maintenance instructions pamphlet you’ll
find information and advisories on the safe and
professional maintenance and/or repair work on
the Multifunctional wheel chairs.
The products are Class I medical products as to
the 93/42/EEC and the German MPG/Medical
Products Act.
As to the requirements of the German MPBetreibV
Medical Products Ordinance, the products must be
maintained and the hygiene requirements must be
adhered to. Check your local requirements.
The product’s lifetime is in large part affected by
how it is used. The frequency of use and manner
of use reduces the lifetime as does improper
handling and inadequate maintenance.
In order to ensure safe use, a visual inspection and
function check must be done at least once per
year. Shorter time intervals between maintenance
may be necessary when the frequency of use or
the condition of the product exists due to safety
reasons.
The operator has to carry out the maintenance on
his own or must instruct a competent person
(specialized supplier, medical supply store or a
medical-maintenance-service) if he has not the
needed expertise.
The products with electric or hydraulic components
must be checked by a person with the
corresponding expertise.
Inspection results must be documented and be
confirmed by a signature. The product must be
provided with an inspection sticker that states the
next inspection. The product operator is
responsible for assuring regularly-conducted
inspections.
1.2 Maintenance scope
The product’s inspection extends from the general
condition to the individual components, function
and safety.
Necessary repair wroks must be done without
delay. If an immediate repair work is not

health to put the product out of service.
