Information On Re-Use; Service - Otto Bock C1000 Instructions For Use Manual

Introduction
1.4 Information on re-use
The C1000 power wheelchair is suitable for re-use.
Similar to second-hand machines or cars, products that
are being re-used are subject to increased strain. Fea-
tures and functions must not change in a way that could
endanger patients or other persons within the product's
life cycle.
Based on market observations and the current state of
technology, the manufacturer has calculated that the
C1000 power wheelchair can be used for a period of 5
years, provided that it is used properly and that the serv-
ice and maintenance instructions are observed. Periods
during which the wheelchair is stored at the dealer or with
the third party payer are not included in this period. It
should be clearly pointed out, however, that the C1000
is a reliable product far beyond this defined period of
time, provided that it is cared for and maintained appro-
priately.
In cases of re-use, the corresponding product must first
be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Afterwards, the condition of the product must be exa-
mined by an authorised dealer to check for wear and tear
as well as any damage.

Any worn and damaged components as well as compo-
nents which do not fit or are not suitable for the new user
must be replaced.
The service manual includes a service schedule for each
model, detailed information, and a list of the required
tools.
