Before use it is necessary to: § unfold the device; § place the device on even ground; § make sure that all parts are serviceable, correctly mounted and stable; § block brakes; § adjust the device to user's measurements; § undo safety belts so as to place easily the user in the device; § place user in the device; § fasten all elements which stabilize user e.g. safety belts; § mount additional equipment e.g. tray. 2. In case of patients who have problem with bladder, it is necessary to put special cloth on seat. This cloth can be purchased in pharmacy or medical shops. In case of any obstacles such as step or curb, it is necessary to raise front wheels by pressing the handle down . Next, place front wheels on step and then raise back part of stroller with the aid of handle. Be careful not to tilt the stroller back too much. Remember to place stroller forwards. It is essential to hold stroller with the aid of handle during using it otherwise stroller can roll. Before the product is used, it is highly necessary to make sure that all belts as well as safety equipment are correctly fastened as well as adjusted.

When properly used, the vest allows the user to adopt the correct sitting position for a longer period of time. The design and shape of the vest make it possible for the user to be free to move their upper limbs within the constraints of the user. If the vest is not used properly, it can pose a serious threat to the health and life of the user! Possible threats incident to the use of the vest: 1) If the lower vest straps are fastened too loosely, there is a risk that the vest will move upwards to the user's neck, making it difficult to breathe always check the tension of the straps and set them in such a way that the lower edge of the vest is located near the lower abdomen of the user. 2) In a situation when the user slips off the seat, the upper edge of the vest cover's the user's neck and blocks the trachea, making it difficult to breathe it is therefore necessary to ALWAYS use the accessories stabilizing the user's pelvis, such as a pelvic belt, thigh abduction belts or an abduction block. 3) There is a risk that the upper straps of the vest will press the user's neck, blocking the trachea and making it difficult to breathe. This might happen if the user's body is improperly secured in the seat or stroller it is then necessary to use the optional accessories of these devices and stabilize the user's body using the lateral supports. If there is no possibility to use such accessories with the device and the user's body cannot be properly stabilized, the device should be replaced with the one having such an option. 4) The vest is fastened too tightly to the backrest and as a result the user cannot breathe easily in this case the vest should be loosened in such a way that it is possible for the caregiver to insert a straightened hand between the vest and the user's body. If, however, we want to stabilize the user's body properly, we should use a dynamic orthopedic vest, e.g. a Flex-Point® vest, which does not cause the breathing difficulty for the user. : ' 27 www.akces-med.com +48 17 864 04 77 * export@akces-med.com Instructions for the proper use of the vest: 1) Make sure that the user is sitting in the best possible position: § in the middle of the seat, § deeply in the seat in such a way that the user's lumbar spine rests against the backrest. 2) Secure the patient's pelvis with, for example, a pelvic belt, thigh abduction belts or an abduction block. 3) Make sure that the side supports of the device, if used, are set in the correct position. It is required that the users with the poor trunk control use the side supports. The side supports limit the lateral movements of the user's body, which could lead to the compression of the vest straps on the neck of the user. 4) Secure the vest: § fasten and adjust the lower straps of the vest, so that the lower edge of the vest is located near the lower abdomen of the user, § fasten the horizontal strap of the vest (if present), § fasten the shoulder straps of the vest, § check if the buckles of the vest do not open under pressure. 5) Check the user's position: § make sure that the vest cannot move by itself towards the user's neck, § make sure that you can insert a straightened hand between the vest and the user's body. To prevent injuries and to minimize the risks associated with the use of the vest, the following rules should be followed: 1) The position of the vest MUST be checked each time after putting the patient in the seat. 2) Special attention should be paid to protecting the patient from falling forward, slipping off the seat or lifting the pelvis. The vest MUST be used with the accessories which will secure the user's pelvis at all times (e.g. the pelvic belt, thigh abduction belts or the abduction block). The use of the vest cannot be considered separately but as a part of a general posture support system including supports such as pelvic belts, foot support, torso stabilization, thigh abduction belts, tilt-in-space position and reclining backrest. 3) Special attention should be paid to ensuring that the entire foot of the user has stable support. If the device is not equipped with a foot support, the user's feet must rest firmly against the ground. 4) It should be remembered that any change of the inclination angle of the backrest, seat, foot support or tilt-in-space function might affect the effectiveness of the belts and supports! 28 : ' www.akces-med.com +48 17 864 04 77 * export@akces-med.com 5) Special attention should be paid to the use of stabilization elements or side supports. If the user has poor trunk control, the side supports will limit the lateral movements, which could lead to the compression of the vest straps on the neck of the user. 6) The mounting of the vest and adjusting it to the user can only be carried out by a suitably trained person, who is familiar with the instructions for the use of the vest and the rules of its safe use. 7) Do not make any repairs or modifications to the vest on your own. In order to repair or replace any part of the vest, please contact the manufacturer. 8) Do not use a damaged or incomplete vest, as this poses a serious threat to the health and life of the user! 9) Do not leave the user in the device unattended! 10) The correctness of the use of the vest should be particularly controlled in accordance with the recommendations in case of children, patients with impaired memory or mentally ill. 11) Make sure that all people taking care of the user are familiar with the rules of the safe use of the vest. How to care for the vest: The vest works effectively only if kept clean and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Before each use of the vest, check whether: 1) The vest straps are not frayed or worn. If so, have them exchanged for new ones. 2) The vest straps are not attached to the wheels of the device. 3) The buckles are not damaged. If so, have them exchanged for new ones. 4) The Velcro fastening holds firmly. If not, remove any dirt or hair from the Velcro, or have it replaced with a new one. 5) There have been no changes in the user's height or weight from the moment the vest was adjusted to the user. 6) The shoulder straps of the vest are adjusted so that they are not too loose or too tight. 7) The vest should be cleaned regularly with the use of warm soapy water and dried out of the direct sunlight and other sources of heat. The vest must always be dry before usage. If you have any doubts or questions about the use of the vest, please contact your doctor or physiotherapist. : ' 29 www.akces-med.com +48 17 864 04 77 * export@akces-med.com 8.
