As a manufacturer of powered scooters, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide
variety of powered scooters to meet many needs of the end user. However, final
selection of the type of powered scooter to be used by an individual rests solely with
the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.
TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS
Powered scooter users should NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in
the powered scooter. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not
approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a powered
scooter, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare's position that users of powered scooters should be transferred into
appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints
made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any
powered scooter transportation systems.
SEAT POSITIONING STRAP
It is the obligation of the dealers, therapists and other healthcare professionals to
determine if a seating restraint is required to ensure the safe operation of this
equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a
powered scooter.
The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt ONLY. It is not designed for use as a
safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If
signs of wear appear, belt must be replaced immediately.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction
