Y. Contact Surfaces
WARNING: Handling of wheelchair surfaces with elevated temperatures can result in a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in injury.
•
Do not expose the chair and components to any extreme cold. Extremely cold metal
surfaces may result in skin freezing to the surface and resulting in skin damage.
Be aware that prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of radiant heat may
increase the temperature of surfaces on your wheelchair above recommended limits estimated
by standards.
Caretakers should assess patients for adverse reactions on the skin from contact surfaces such
as redness, swelling, irritation sensitization, allergy, immune response or other reactions.
