REA AZALEA BASE
®
The Rea Azalea Base is a part of the Azalea family
that is meant as a wheelchair base for different sea-
ting systems such as individually adapted anatomic
seats manufactured by different companies.
®
The Rea Azalea Base is intended for use both indo-
ors and outdoors.
The maximum allowed weight load on the Rea
Azalea Base is 135 kg. This includes both user and
seating system.
The Azalea range is CE-marked, but since the Rea
Azalea Base is not to be considered as a complete
product and it is only when the base and the seating
system have been combined that an evaluation of the
safety can be done, it rests upon the company that
mounts the seating system to perform such an eva-
luation.

However, if there is an agreement between Invacare
and the manufacturer of the seating system that regu-
lates the responsibility between the companies, the
product can maintain its CE-marking. In other cases,
the company mounting the seating system will be
responsible for the CE-marking or that the chair will
be registered and documented as a specially made
medical technical product.
®
The Rea Azalea Base has been crash tested together
with the Invacare standard back and seat, but no
other combinations have been tested and Invacare
can in no way predict the effect of an accident with
other configurations.
Other tests performed on the Azalea Base have also
been carried out with the standard back and seat
from the Azalea range mounted.

1.13 SERVICE LIFE
We estimate that the Invacare® wheelchair has a
service life span of five years. It is difficult to state the
exact length of the service life of our products and the
length stated is an estimated average life span based on
normal use. The life span may be considerably longer
if the wheelchair is used to a limited extent and if it is
used with care, maintained and handled properly. The
life span may be shorter if the wheelchair is subjected
to extreme use.
