• The seating upholstery and pads' materials meet the flammability
resistance requirements in accordance with EN 1021-1, EN 1021-2.
Therefore do not expose the upholstery or pads or any other parts
to ignition sources - such as, for example, cigarettes.
• Notification of incidents. The provider or user must report
1. Any malfunction
2. Any change in the characteristics or performance as well as
3. Any inadequacy in the labelling or instructions for use of a
medical product, which has led or could lead to death or a severe
deterioration in the health condition of a patient, an employee or a
third party, must be reported immediately to your appropriate state
authority responsible for medical products. They will pass the report
on to the authority responsible for the provider immediately and
will also inform the manufacturer and the authority responsible for
the manufacturer.

2.2. Safety in vehicles

The Via is not designed to be used as a vehicle seat. Under no
circumstances must it be used as such. It does not fulfil the
requirements in accordance with ISO 7176-19. Violation can cause
the most serious injuries resulting in death in the case of an accident.

Please note that push mode by disconnecting the
electromagnetic brakes must only be used on
flat ground. The electromechanical brake is then
disabled. Non-observance means danger to life.

2.3. Notes on electromagnetic
interference
Despite compliance with all applicable EMC Directives and standards,
it is possible that the foldable power wheelchair may interfere with
other electrical devices (e.g. mobile phones, alarm systems) or that its
driving performance will be limited by those devices.
If you notice such behaviour, switch off the third-party device or
your foldable power wheelchair and move it beyond the range of
interference.
It is possible that your power wheelchair will interfere
with other devices which emit electromagnetic fields
and that they will interfere with your chair.

2.4. Brakes

If the drives are connected, you cannot push or move the foldable
power wheelchair, as the motors will brake automatically.
The braking distance is significantly longer on slopes
than on flat ground. Bear this in mind when going
down ramps and brake in time.

2.5. Intended use

The Via foldable power wheelchair has been designed for adults who
cannot walk or those with limited mobility.
It can be used indoors and for brief periods outside on even, firm
terrain. Through its compact design, it is extremely manoeuvrable and
is able to handle medium distances as well as slightly uneven surfaces
outdoors.
