HOW TO USE JUDITTA FOR TRANSPORT ON A MOVING VEHICLE
(private cars, bus, etc..)
JUDITTA WHEELCHAIR conforms to the ISO 7176-19 and ANSI RESNA WC/19 standard,
which defines the safety requirements for transport, facing in the direction of travel on
moving vehicles (private cars, buses, etc..) following these warnings:
- THE WHEELCHAIR-SEATED OCCUPANT MUST FACE THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE (see
fig. 2, page 14). According to the ISO 7176-19 point 6.3.4, compliance with ISO 7176-19 does not
preclude using the wheelchair facing rearwards in large accessible vehicles equipped and
approved with rear-facing wheelchair passenger stations
- The User should weigh no more than 136 kilos because the CRASH TEST provided by the
ISO and ANSI/RESNA standards only refers to wheelchairs/pushchairs for users whose weight is
136 kilos or less

such as model 828 are not type-approved for use as restraint systems and can only be
used in addition
ORMESA RECOMMENDS THE USE OF A COMPLETE ISO 10542-2 COMPLIANT "WTORS"
SYSTEM, which consists of restraint systems for both the wheelchair and its occupant
- Whenever the user is transferred on a seat of the vehicle, the unoccupied wheelchair
should be stored in a cargo area or secured in the vehicle during the travel
- In order to preserve their effectiveness, belt restraints should not be held away from the body
by wheelchair components or pats, such as the wheelchair armrests or wheels (see fig. 3 and
4, page 15)
- shoulder-belt restraints should fit over the shoulders (see fig. 3 page 15)
- belt restraints should be adjusted as tightly as possible, consistent with user comfort and belt
webbing should not be twisted when in use
- in order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, during transport the tray and all
accessories should be removed and secured separately in the vehicle
