2.2.2 Intended purpose
The LoopSORGRRS is a growable wheelchair with a tilting function intended for indoor and out-
door use.
The wheelchair is designed solely for the transport of the person for whom it has been specially
adapted by a qualied specialist dealer.
Parents or authorised guardians must ensure that the information in the instructions for use is
followed for children or persons with impaired capacities.
The safest possible use of the aid is only possible on level, rm and dry ground with the anti
tipper activated and with the help of an accompanying person.
Any use beyond this entails taking a variety of risks for which only the user themselves can
take responsibility. This requires sucient competence in identifying and avoiding hazards and
safe handling of the aid by the user! An increased hazard potential must be taken into account,
especially in wet conditions, ice, loose ground, slopes, obstacles, close proximity to water, road
trac, narrow spaces, etc.
Only use the wheelchair for its intended purpose. Any improper use of the product
involves considerable risks and will invalidate product liability.
The large variety of combinations for seat and wheel position means that settings
can be made that are outside the safety and application range.
2.2.3 Indication
Use is suitable for the following, among others:
• in all forms of therapy for alternating placement and positioning,
• for stimulation/strengthening of the complete metabolism, the vegetative nervous system
and/or the complete cardiovascular system,
• for activation, preservation and development of the entire tonicity or individual muscle
groups,
• for the development/strengthening of the entire skeleton,
• for slowing down or restricting of scoliotic developments,
• for slowing down or restricting of atrophic or dystrophic modifications of the musculature,
• for stimulation/strengthening of sensitive integration (perception or vestibular stimulation),
• for all forms of paresis and/or neuromuscular conditions,
• for rehabilitation after serious (craniocerebral) trauma,
• for all forms of therapy in relation to cerebral dominance

2.3 General safety information
Before each use, check:
• the frame, back tubes, add-on parts and accessories for visible damage, bending, cracks
or missing or loose screws,

• that the seat plate/ back/ footrest are tightly locked,
• that the anti-tipper/seat and back belts are functioning correctly,
• that all previously dismantled components have been reconnected and rmly locked.
There is a risk of injury (e.g. due to crushing) from all rotating, swivelling or foldable com-
ponents, even during adjustment and repair work and during transport.

engaged.
