Safety In Vehicles - Active Medical Sovereign Instructions For Use Manual

Instructions for Use

1. 1 Safety in Vehicles

The Sovereign Wheelchair has been crash tested for use in a vehicle with
appropriate tie-down restraint system. Active Medical is not able to
recommend the type of tie-down restraint system for transportation of
a person while in a wheelchair, however we have determined tie down
locations for the Sovereign Wheelchair while being transported.
Information and recommendation regarding vehicle restraint systems
can be sourced from your health professional or local Department of
Transport.
A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent level of
safety and security as a vehicle seating system. It is always recommended
that the user transfers to the vehicle seating system where appropriate.
Please ensure the restraint system complies to Australian Standards
and you fully understand the manufacturer instructions on how your tie
down system works and whether it is compatible with the Sovereign
Wheelchair.
