Intended Use
Convertible Chair
Human Care’s Conver tible Chair is a mechanical positioning
chair that can be adjusted to various positions. The device
is used to alter postural positions and to provide a means of
transferring a patient horizontally from a height adjustable
bed or trolley to the chair and vice versa. The chair can
then be transformed from a supine position into the sitting
position without ever lifting the patient.
Its construction is made of steel tubular components, on
to which is fitted foam-filled upholstery. The mechanism
allows the chair to transform from the horizontal supine
position into a chair, which can then be tilted. The reclining
function allows the chair and patient profile to change from
a sitting position to a horizontal or supine position suitable
for tranferring. The Tilt-in-Space function allows the I-400
/ I-700 to be independently inclined to the rear (Tilt-inSpace).
CE MARKING symbol indicates product meets requirements of EC
directives and can be sold in North America.
RECYCLE packaging according to local regulations.
Symbol indicates hand washing only.
Symbol indicates item may be wiped with approved disinfectant.
Follow cleaning instructions as indicated.
Facility administrator and/or risk management
department should approve all patient handling
protocols associated with the Convertible chair prior
to use.
Prior to using on a patient, it is strongly
recommended that training or practice with other
caregivers is done until the user is comfortable with
using the product.
Assess the patient’s ability to handle the move prior
to using the Convertible Chair.
Do not attempt to repair the chair yourself or modify
it in any way.
Do not use this equipment to transfer patients in a
moving vehicle of any type.
Use only the Human Care patient transfer system
designed for use with the I-series positioning and
transfer chairs.
