WHEELCHAIR USER
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 RESTRAINTS (TRRO OR
TRBKTS)
TRRO includes four factory-installed transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored
pelvic belt. TRRO has been crash-tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol 1
Section 19 Frontal Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 168 lb crash
dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of 114 to 209 lbs.
TRBKTS includes four factory-installed wheelchair transport brackets. TRBKTS has
not been crash-tested in accordance with WC 19. Use these transport brackets only
to secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport.
As of this date, the U.S. 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.
Refer to Transport Ready Package on page 62 for more information about trans-
porting the wheelchair.
