The Roma Sport SK8R chairs are hand-built as a bespoke sport product enabling the
user to participate in a sport in which conventional wheelchairs are not capable
of withstanding the dynamic / physical stresses the sport demands. As such, the
standard requirements of manual wheelchairs are not fully applied to these products.
The chairs are manufactured from carbon steel. The upholstery is heavy duty nylon.
Due to the nature of the sport, the chairs are classied as ‘Custom Made Devices’
under the MDD and as such are exempt from bearing the ‘CE’ mark normally
associated with Medical Devices. They do however have to comply with the Essential
Requirements of Annex I of the MDD.
Description

secured to the chair. (Quick release button must be out)
Check there is no debris wrapped around castor axles or bearings and the castor
