WARNING!
– Skin condition must be checked very frequently after
the installation of any new seating system. Your
therapist and physician should be consulted if you
have any questions regarding individual limitations and
needs. Working with your therapist, physician, and
equipment supplier is the best way to ensure that a
seating choice matches your individual needs. As the
needs of the individual become more complex, the
seating evaluation becomes more important.

within a wheelchair fitted with an Invacare®
Matrx® Mini back in a motor vehicle.
– Wherever practicable Invacare recommends that the
client is transferred out of the wheelchair into a vehicle
seat using a lap and diagonal seat belt or an appropriate
child safety seat.
– Invacare® Matrx® Mini backs may only be used in
conjunction with wheelchairs that comply with the
performance requirements of RESNA WC19 or ISO
7176–19.
– For safe transportation of a client within a wheelchair
in a motor vehicle, refer to the user manuals of the
wheelchair and the tie-down and occupant restraint
