Sunrise Medical Quickie Q700-UP M Instructions For Use Manual page 21

Adaptation/Adjustment:
Seat the user into the wheelchair.
• Feed the buckle on the chest strap through the loop, (Fig.5.20).
• Pull the chest strap so that it fully supports the users upper
body firmly and comfortably, (Fig.5.21).
• Ensure that chest strap is not too tight.
• Close the buckle until a loud click is heard, (Fig.5.22).
• The D-Ring facilitates easy adjustment for the user, (Fig.5.23).
• Ensure the chest strap fully supports the user and that there
is enough room to fit a hands width between the user and the
support. (Fig 5.24).
Safety:
In addition to the chest strap latches, the chest strap
incorporates two further safety features that prevent the
unintended opening of the belt.
Each of the chest strap latches is secured with an overlaying
safety Velcro strap. In addition to these, on each side of the chest
strap there is a securing strap which is guided through the D-Ring
adding another degree of safety.
WARNING!
• Never use the stand-up function without the knee fixation,
chest strap and positioning belt attached and safely locked.
• Make sure the rider does not slide in the wheelchair seat. If this
occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due
to pressure from the supports.
• Never use positioning supports as a patient restraint.
• Never use positioning supports on a user who is comatose or
agitated.
Regular Checks/Activities:
• As with all positioning components, there is a need for
corrective adjustments as the person changes their seating
position over time.
• Check the belts regularly for correct fitting, to ensure the safety
and comfort of the user.
• We recommend that users carry out the regular exercises
prescribed by their health care professional to prevent pressure
sores.
• We recommend that regular checks are made to monitor skin
condition.
