10 Information on Re-use

The Start Series lightweight wheelchairs are 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 patients or other
persons within the product's life cycle.
Based on market observations and the current state of technology, the manufacturer has calcu-
lated that the Start Series lightweight wheelchair can be used for a period of 4 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 third party payer are not included
in this period. It should be clearly pointed out, however, that Start Series lightweight wheelchair
is a reliable product far beyond this defined period of time, provided that it is cared for and main-
tained 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.
Any worn and damaged components as well as components which do not fit or are unsuitable
for the user must be replaced.
The service manual includes a service schedule, detailed information, and a list of the required
tools.
