4.21.6 Using the Sip-N-Puff Head Array
WARNING!
Risk of serious injury
Proximity sensors are sensitive to water. If enough water is present close to sensors, they may be activated and power wheelchair may
start moving unintentionally.
— Do not operate Head Array with wet hair.
— Do not operate Head Array in wet weather.
— Do not operate Head Array in any circumstances where water may come close to sensors.
WARNING!
Risk of serious injury
Sensor pads are made of water resistant vinyl to get water quickly run off the pads before activating sensors.
If sensor pads are damaged, water may get in and power wheelchair may start driving unintentionally.
If sensor pads are covered by water absorbing material, power wheelchair may start driving unintentionally.
— Do not operate Head Array if sensor pads are damaged. Change sensor pads immediately.
— Do not cover sensor pads with any material.
CAUTION!
Risk of Injury or Damage
Improper mounting or maintenance of the Sip-N-Puff control including the mouthpiece and breath tube may cause injury or damage.
Water inside the Sip-N-Puff interface module may cause damage to the unit. Excessive saliva residue in the mouthpiece can reduce
performance. Blockages, a clogged saliva trap or air leaks in the system may cause Sip-N-Puff not to function properly.
— Ensure moving parts of the wheelchair, including the operation of powered seating, DO NOT pinch or damage the Sip-N-Puff tubing.
— Saliva trap MUST be installed to reduce risk of water or saliva entering the Sip-N-Puff interface module.
— Flush the mouthpiece and the breath tube at least twice a week with warm running water. Disinfect with oral rinse after cleaning.
— The mouthpiece MUST be completely dry before installation.
— If Sip-N-Puff does not function properly, inspect system for blockages, clogged saliva trap or air leaks. As necessary, replace
mouthpiece, breath tube and saliva trap.
