Maintenance - broda 30VT Mode D'emploi

Pay close attention to the frame, sockets, fasteners, parts and casters, as well as the padding for an even, thorough
clean.
Remove parts for cleaning if desired:
1) Wings
3) Footrest
4) Padding
Thoroughly clean all removable parts and padding, as well as the frame and components around the parts and
padding that have been removed.
Broda chairs should not be cleaned with petroleum based cleaners. Any petroleum based products that come in
contact with any vinyl surface should be removed as quickly as possible. Petroleum based products make vinyl
brittle and will damage the seating surface and cushions. Metal parts and cushions should be wiped completely dry
after cleaning. Do not launder vinyl padding. Terry cloth seat and back covers can be laundered and tumble dried.
Do not allow the chair to air dry. Leaving the chair to air dry and not ensuring the entire chair is completely dry may
cause the frame and components to rust. Solvents such as those found in spray lubricants should not be used on
Broda Chairs as they can damage moving parts.
Frequency and method of cleaning the chairs should be determined by facility infection control protocols. If visibly
soiled, thoroughly clean the chair immediately as per the cleaning instructions in this manual.
The cleaning instructions in this manual are guidelines only. Results may vary under actual conditions. The
information does not relieve the user of proper and safe use of the product and all cleaning agents and consideration
for the overall cleaning maintenance of the chair. Cleaning and care instructions must be followed in conjunction
with facility infection control protocols.
Broda will not accept warranty or liability claims on chairs that have not been cleaned according to the instructions
or cared for in proper regard for patient, caregiver and third-party safety and hygiene. The use of certain agents may
be harmful to the surface appearance and lifespan of the vinyl. Broda assumes no responsibility resulting from the
use of such cleaning agents to the vinyl.
Touch up paint is available for the powder coated frame. Please call Broda's Customer Service Department if touch
up paint is required. Do not leave Broda chairs outdoors as the frame is not UV protected. Leaving the chairs
outdoors could cause the paint to peel.

Maintenance

The maintenance on a Broda chair will vary with the amount of use and the condition of the resident using the chair.
In regular use, after the initial inspection and functional testing, the chair should be inspected and tested bimonthly.
We recommend visually inspecting for signs of wear, damage, loose or missing fasteners, and other safety concerns.
Periodic testing of chair functions is also necessary. If a breakage, defect, or operational problem is detected, the
chair must be successfully repaired, inspected and tested for function before it is returned to service.
The chair should be inspected and tested as often as each use if the chair is used by:
1) Aggressive or agitated residents.
2) Residents who have involuntary movements.
3) Residents weighing over 220 lbs.
4) A facility with irregular or sloped surfaces.
5) Any unauthorized person.
