1.8 INTENDED USE
INVACARE BLADE +
Indoor and outdoor configurable wheelchair offered
with various options compliant with EN 12184:1999
Section 5 Class B.
The Blade Plus manual wheelchair has been designed
to provide mobility and comfort for persons with
impaired mobility.
The wheelchair has been designed to be used
either/or by a seated user/carer/attendant on both
indoor and outdoor environments.
The wheelchair has, in its standard format, been desig-
ned to accomodate users who weigh up to a maximum
of 90 kg, have all limbs intact and have sufficient upper
body strenght to maintain a safe position within the
wheelchair without the addition of supporting aids.
Adaptions from standard wheelchair format are
available to accomodate users who do not meet the
above criteria, but these will only be considered after
a suitable assessment of the risk has been carried
out by a qualified person. For example: A user with
either a full or a partial amputation or other condition
which affects the centre of gravity will need to have a
stability evaluation to minimize the risk of inadvertant
tipping.
The wheelchair should only be used in accordance
with the safety advice given within this user guide.
Failure to follow the recommended advice could lead
to personal injury.
No claims are made that the product will medically
inprove the circumstances or condition of the user.

1.9 SERVICE LIFE
INVACARE BLADE +
We assume that our wheelchairs will be in use daily.
For this reason the whole equipment is subject to an
almost continuous stress and consequently, natural
wear and tear. Taking this into consideration and
provided that the wheelchair is maintained properly,
the lifetime of the Invacare Blade+ is approximately
5 years. If the wheelchair is used less frequently, e.g.
if you use it inside your apartment only, and if it is
maintained perfectly, the service life may increase
accordingly.
