8.0 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Hygiene measures when being re-used
Prior to the device being re-used, it must be carefully prepared. All surfaces which
come into contact with the attendant or the wheelchair user must be treated with
a disinfection spray.
To do this, it is necessary to use a suitable disinfectant for rapid alcohol-based
disinfection of medical products and medical devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer's instructions for the disinfectant being
used.
1.
Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents, wax polishes,
or aerosols.
2.
Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
3.
Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly.
1.
Always read the label on any commercial or domestic cleaning
substances.
2.
Always follow the instructions carefully.
8.4 Medium to long term storage
When storing the device for long periods of time (in excess of one week), follow
these simple instructions:
1.
Fully charge the device for at least 24 hours.
2.
Disconnect the charger.
3.
Disconnect the batteries.
Never store the device:
1.
