7.0 Maintenance and cleaning

7.1 General Maintenance

• All fasteners should be checked monthly for wear, such as
loose bolts or broken components.
• Loose fasteners should be re-tightened according to the
installation instructions.
• Check all straps monthly for fraying, ripped seams or other
indications of excessive wear damage. Discontinue use if
damage is found.
• Chest straps should be replaced at the first indication of
damage and/or excessive wear.
• If a broken or loose component is found, discontinue use
immediately and contact your authorised Sunrise Medical
supplier for replacement.
• Check all Velcro fastening straps for correct adhesion when
pressed together.
• Ensure that any contamination, such as fluff, hair, etc. is
removed from the Velcro straps. Such contamination may
affect adhesion.

7.2 Cleaning your seating system:

The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with a
slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or dust that has
accumulated around the actuators should be blown or dusted
away.
CAUTION!
Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it
becomes wet or damp after cleaning or if it is used in a wet or
damp atmosphere.
DANGER!
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more
than one person it is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no
cross infection.

7.2.1 Cleaning and inspection of your seating
WARNING!
Tears, dents, wearing or slackening of upholstery particularly
near to metal could result in poor posture or lower levels of
comfort and pressure relief.
Cleaning instructions for seating:
You can wash all parts of the covers with a gentle-wash
detergent at 40°C. You can spin-dry the covers, but do not
dry them in a dryer. You can remove all parts of the covers
independently of each other and wash them separately. Take
out the foam inlays prior to washing and close the Velcro
fasteners!
Where upholstery cannot be removed, clean regularly to
prevent build up or soiling. Clean with a damp soapy cloth
however disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by
their manufacturer. Ensure surfaces are rinsed well with clean
water and dried thoroughly.

7.3 Hygiene measures when being re-used:

Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user
must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid
alcohol-based disinfection of medical products and medical
devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer's instructions for
the disinfectant you are using.
CAUTION!
• Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic
detergents, wax polishes or aerosols.
• Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by their
manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried
thoroughly.
