1.1 Before First Use WARNING
BRODA wheelchairs are provided fully assembled and are considered ready to use after
purchaser inspection, functional testing, and when all training requirements have been met by
qualified caregivers after receipt of wheelchair. If the wheelchair does not appear to be in “ready
to use” condition upon receipt, immediately contact your supplier and do not put the wheelchair
into service until after your concerns have been resolved.
This manual must be read thoroughly by the caregiver(s) directly responsible for the patient’s
nursing care before the wheelchair is put into service. This manual must also be read thoroughly
by new caregivers, prior to the first time a new caregiver operates or moves the wheelchair, once
the wheelchair has been put into service. The patient’s family members, who share some of the
responsibility for the patient’s care, are considered a caregiver only after they have read this
manual, received instruction on the wheelchair’s safe use by a professional caregiver, and a
caregiver directly responsible for the patient’s care has given their approval.
The wheelchair must be visually inspected for damage, missing parts, and loose fittings
(fasteners) prior to first use or testing the wheelchair’s functions. Functional testing must be
successfully completed after visual inspection and before first use. These obligations apply both
to the first use of the wheelchair and to all subsequent uses.
An in-service on the operation and safety issues, as described in this manual, must be given to
the patient’s caregivers prior to its first use.
1.2 Application WARNING
The BRODA 587 Manual Wheelchair will be primarily used, but not limited for use by residents in
a Nursing Home or institutional setting. The suitability and application of a BRODA wheelchair is
to be determined by a professional caregiver who is familiar with the seating needs of the patient
using the wheelchair. Any other use of the wheelchair is excluded from possible liability claims,
and may void the warranty.
The 587 is not to be used in the shower. Use in the shower will void the warranty.
BRODA does not recommend that the user of this chair be transported in vehicles while in the
wheelchair and that appropriate seating in vehicles be provided for the user as made available by
the auto industry. BRODA does not recommend or endorse any wheelchair transportation
system.
The wheelchairs are not explosion resistant and may only be used where there are no
inflammable gases or liquids present such as anesthetics or petroleum based cleaners.
The BRODA 587 wheelchairs are designed for use with specific BRODA accessories and
replacement parts. Any use of non-BRODA spare parts or accessories with a BRODA wheelchair
is excluded from possible liability claims and voids warranty.
