GENERAL GUIDELINES

PROCEDURE 1

 

 

CAUTION

WEIGHT LIMITATION

Standard Tilt only, Recline only and Tilt/Recline systems have a weight limitation of 250 lbs. Tilt only, Recline only and Tilt/Recline systems with the heavy duty option have a weight limitation of 350lbs.

Never allow items to become trapped between the legrest assemblies, otherwise damage to the power legrest may occur.

WARNING

CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POS- SIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave sources

Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as pow- ered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way radios, and cellular phones. The inter- ference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protec- tion from the more common sources of radiated EMI.

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1)Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie talkie," security, fire, And police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices. **NOTE: Some cel- lular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used;

2)Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and

3)Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

Recline specifications

Invacare Recline is a sophisticated and highly adaptable wheelchair designed to enhance the quality of life for users who require recline functionality. Its design focuses on comfort, safety, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for individuals with various mobility challenges.

One of the standout features of the Invacare Recline is its adjustable reclining backrest. This allows users to find their ideal position, whether they are relaxing, resting, or engaging in daily activities. The backrest can be adjusted effortlessly, often by using a lever or pneumatic mechanism, providing a seamless transition from an upright to a reclined position. This feature is particularly advantageous for users who may experience pressure sores or require occasional changes in posture throughout the day.

The wheelchair is equipped with a durable and lightweight frame, making it easy to maneuver both indoors and outdoors. The construction often includes high-strength aluminum or steel, ensuring stability and longevity while also maintaining a manageable weight for caregivers. This balance of strength and portability enhances the user experience, allowing for a greater degree of independence.

Another important aspect of the Invacare Recline is its customizable seating system. The seating can be tailored to the specific needs of the user, with various options for cushions, back supports, and armrests.

Incorporating advanced technology, some models of the Invacare Recline include powered options, which allow users to adjust their position with the push of a button. These electric systems are particularly beneficial for individuals with limited upper body strength, enabling them to control their posture and comfort without assistance.

Safety features are paramount in the design of the Invacare Recline. It commonly includes secure locking mechanisms for wheels, anti-tipper features, and safety straps, ensuring that users are secure while reclining or maneuvering. The careful consideration of safety is essential to instill confidence in both users and caregivers.

Overall, the Invacare Recline wheelchair exemplifies innovation and thoughtful design, combining adjustable reclining capabilities with robust technology and customization options. It stands out in the market for its commitment to improving user comfort and independence, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges.
