As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide
variety of wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final
selection of the type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely
with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such a
selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING
STRAPS
Invacare recommends that wheelchair users NOT be transported in
vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of
Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation
of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare's position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into
appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the
restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not
recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.
With regards to seat/chest positioning straps - it is the obligation of the
DME dealer, therapists and other healthcare professionals to determine if a
seat/chest positioning strap is required to ensure the safe operation of this
equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a
wheelchair.
