06 2. Product description.
2.1 General information
All individual steel parts (nuts, bolts and screws etc.) are made of stain-
less steel. The padded parts are made of waterproof polyurethane in-
tegral foam. The frame is made of aluminium and stainless steel and is
powder-coated. The straps are made of polypropylene fibres with quick
drying mixed spacer fibres for the padding. The plastic parts are injection
moulded from various synthetic resins. All materials are free of latex, lead
and phthalates.
2.2 Handling / transport
The hygiene system is not designed to be carried. If you have selected
a mobile subframe, hts. is equipped with castors. Should you have to
carry the equipment due to obstacles, ensure that all moving parts are
tightened. Then position yourself next to the hygiene system, grip it on
both sides under the support head and carry it to the required locati-
on. To transport the hygiene system, reduce all adjustments to their
most compact size (fold up foot bench, set lowest seat height etc.)
Tighten all moving parts prior to carrying!
2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
As a toilet chair, hts. can used with the toilet or as a standalone device with
a toilet bucket. It can also be used as a toilet seat on the toilet, as a shower
chair and shower seat. Please observe the following guidelines:
Over the toilet
With the moving subframe, hts. can easily be pushed over the toilet. The
height setting allows it to be adjusted to fit the existing toilet.
On the toilet
Rifton hts. can be used as a toilet seat on the toilet with the help of an
attachment bar.
Standalone toilet chair/shower chair
The hts. seat unit can be used as a standalone toilet chair/shower chair in
combination with a subframe (see 4.1).
As a shower chair
The hts. seat unit can be used as a shower chair in combination with the
bath subframe.

2.3.1 Indications / contraindications
Indications for use as a toilet seat adapter
Disease symptoms such as flaccid or spastic paralyses as a result of child
cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy or other diseases resulting in similar disa-
bilities which cause a combination of insucient torso control with functional
disorders or the lower extremities and for which conventional children‘s toilet
seats are insucient.
Indications for use as a toilet stool:
Physically and/or mentally disabled children or children with dwarfism who
are not able to use either conventional children‘s toilet seats or WC bowls.
Contraindications
In general, the indications for provision of a toilet adapter or bowl should be

2.7 Product overview
The Fig. below is intended to show you the designation of the most
important components as well as the terms which you will find in these
Instructions for use.

(D) and then tilt the back all the way forwards
until the F and G markings are on top of each
other. Now you can take the entire back out
of the mount. To assemble the back, simply
