Sunrise Medical Quickie Q700-UP M Instructions For Use Manual page 30

Adaptation Adjustment:
Seat the user into the wheelchair.
• Feed the buckle on the chest strap through the loop
(Fig. 7.17).
• Pull the chest strap so that it fully supports the users upper
body firmly and comfortably (Fig. 7.18).
• Ensure that chest strap is not too tight.
• Close the buckle until a loud click is heard (Fig. 7.19).
• The D-Ring facilitates easy adjustment for the user (Fig. 7.20).
• Ensure the chest strap fully supports the user and that there is
enough room to fit a hands width between the user and the
support (Fig. 7.21).
Safety:
In addition to the chest strap latches, the chest strap
incorporates two further safety features that prevent the
unintended opening of the belt.
Each of the chest strap latches is secured with an overlaying
safety Velcro strap. In addition to these, on each side of
©
the chest strap there is a securing strap which is guided
through the D-Ring adding another degree of safety.
WARNING!
• Never use the stand-up function without the knee fixation,
chest strap, and positioning belt attached and safely
locked.
• Make sure the rider does not slide in the wheelchair seat.
If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or
suffocate due to pressure from the supports.
• Never use positioning supports as a patient restraint.
• Never use positioning supports on a user who is
comatose or agitated.
Usage:
DANGER!
• This product is only to be used to position a single person in
a wheelchair.
• It is not suitable for use as a transportation restraint.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in severe injury
or death.
• An unintended opening of the chest strap can result in the
user falling forward out of the chair.
• If it is likely that the movements or cognitive agility of the
user could lead to an unintended opening of the chest
strap, a caregiver or attendant has to be present at all times
when the wheelchair is in use.
• Ensure that the caregiver or attendant is trained in the
correct operation of the belts.
• Untrained caregivers or attendants may lead to delays, if an
emergency situation occurs.
Regular Checks/Activities
• As with all positioning components, there is a need for
corrective adjustments as the person changes their seating
position over time.
• Check the belts regularly for correct fit, to ensure the
safety and comfort of the user.
• We recommend that users carry out the regular exercises
prescribed by their health care professional to prevent
pressure sores.
• We recommend that regular checks are made to monitor
skin condition.
