Service life
We estimate that Rea ® Assist has a service life span of 5 years. It is diffi cult to state the exact
length of the service life of our products, and the length stated is an estimated average life span
based on normal use. The life span may be considerably longer if the wheelchair is used to a
limited extent, and if it is used with care, maintained and handled properly. The life span may be
shorter if the wheelchair is subjected to extreme use.

dents/near-accidents that were caused by this wheelchair and that have led to/could have led to
