INTENDED USE:
WARNING! This product should only be used for
positioning a person in a wheelchair or work chair. It is NOT
intended for use as a transportation safety device, as a
personal restraint device, or in any other application where
its failure could result in injury. Misuse of this product is
unauthorized and unsafe.
WARNING! This anterior trunk support must be properly
fitted to support the user's trunk and shoulders without
causing injury. Have your seating specialist demonstrate its
proper adjustment and use.
• If it is too tight, it can restrict respiration and increase
pressure across the shoulders and chest.
• If it is too loose, it can allow the user to slip down and
may create a risk of strangulation.
• Accidental release of this product can allow the user to
fall forward.
• A user's inability to self-release can be hazardous if the
user slips down or is trapped in the wheelchair in an
emergency.
If the user's physical or cognitive abilities could prevent
them from safely operating this product, a caregiver must be
present at all times during its use. Ensure that all caregivers
know how to correctly adjust and unfasten the product.
