10.2 Information on Re-use
The power wheelchair is suitable for re-use.
Similar to second-hand machines or cars, products that are
being re-used are subject to increased strain. Features and
functions must not change in a way that could endanger pa-
tients or other persons within the product's life cycle.
Based on market observations and the current state of tech-
nology, the manufacturer has calculated that the power
wheelchair can be used for a period of 5 years, provided
that it is used properly and that the service and maintenance
instructions are observed. Periods during which the
wheelchair is stored at the dealer or with the cost bearer are
not included in this period. It should be clearly pointed out,
however, that the wheelchair is a reliable product far beyond
this defined period of time, provided that it is cared for and
maintained appropriately.
In cases of re-use, the corresponding product must first be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Afterwards, the condition of the product must be examined
by an authorized dealer to check for wear and tear as well
as any damage.
