WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of
wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the
type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her
healthcare professional capable of making such a selection. Invacare highly
recommends working with a certified rehab technology supplier and/or a member
of NRRTS or RESNA.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS (TRRO OR
TRBKTS)
TRRO includes four factory-installed transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored
pelvic belt. TRRO has been crash-tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol 1
Section 19 Frontal Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 130 lb crash
test dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of 125 to 165 lbs. for
Junior seat sizes or a 168 lb crash dummy, which corresponds to a person with a
weight of 165 to 300 lbs. for Adult seat sizes.
TRBKTS includes four factory-installed wheelchair transport brackets. TRBKTS has
not been crash-tested in accordance with WC 19. Use these transport brackets only
to secure an unoccupied wheelchair during transport.
As of this date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-
down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle
of any type. It is Invacare's position that users of wheelchairs 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 wheelchair transportation systems.
Refer to Transport Ready Package (TRRO) on page 72 for more information about
transporting the wheelchair.
