Benefits of PVC Material
- The type of PVC used to manufacture the Healthline Medical bariatric reclining shower chair is an extremely durable material that is much stronger than other plastics.
- The strength enhancers in the extrusion process allow the pipe to withstand high-impact forces not known in your typical plumbing pipe.
- The carefully designed pipe has been rigorously tested over the years to hold up to the standards required in the medical field.
- PVC has a very tight surface structure which results in a glossy surface that colors beautifully.
- All PVC formulations are RoHS EC 95 Compliant and do not include phthalate plasticizers. They have zero heavy metals, including lead and cadmium.
- A durable product that looks great will be easy to clean and disinfect, will not rust, and, most of all, will be safe.
How to use this Reclining Shower Chair?
Maintenance
- Standard disinfectants should be used for regular cleaning.
- All shower chair joints should be checked regularly to ensure that the pipe and fittings are secured.
- If any PVC pipe/joint is loose, use 3/4″L 10 stainless steel screws to secure each joint that is visually inspected.
- Be sure to install the screws in a position that won’t hurt an end-user on the underside of the connector fitting.
Belt Installation
- Male/female connectors attach around the back post frame.
- Connect male and female around each back post.
- The second male/female connectors should connect in the front.
- Tighten the belt where and when necessary.
Caster Maintenance
- The casters provided are designed to be maintenance-free.
- The ball bearings are stainless, and the manufacturer states that no additional grease should be applied.
- If the casters show signs of rust, the casters must be replaced.
Recommendation
- There should always be a caregiver present behind the chair in any transfer or showering of the patient.
- This will prevent any accident if the patient makes sudden movements that would not be expected.
