Reuse; Maintenance; Warranty, Guarantee, And Liability; Warranty For Defects - Alber via GO V24 Gebrauchsanweisung

7.4 Reuse

If your via GO has been provided to you by your health insurance company and you do not need it any longer, please contact your health
insurer, an Alber representative, or your authorised specialist dealer. Your via GO can then be easily and efficiently reused.
A safety inspection of the via GO should be performed before each reuse. The brackets with which the via GO is attached to the wheelchair
can be easily and quickly removed by the authorised specialist dealer or an Alber representative and be mounted on a new wheelchair.
In addition to the cleaning instructions specified in chapter 7.2, the via GO drive unit and the control unit must be disinfected before
reuse. Use only alcohol-based disinfectant wipes approved by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI); see manufacturer's recommendations for
application time and concentration. Example: Bacillol AF, application time 15 minutes.

7.5 Maintenance

In Germany, the maintenance of medical products is regulated by law in the Medical Device Directive (MPBetreibV), Section 7. According to
this law, maintenance measures, especially inspections and servicing, are required in order to ensure continuous safe and proper operation
of medical devices.
Based on our market observations, an interval of two years has proven reasonable for maintenance of our products when used under normal
operating conditions.
21
This guideline value of two years may vary depending on the actual use of the product and the behaviour of the user. Checking the degree
of use and the user behaviour is the responsibility of the operator.
In any case, we strongly recommend that you clarify beforehand to what extent the cost of the maintenance work for our products is cov-
ered by your health insurance provider, especially with regard to any existing contracts.
