Immersion
The EZPZ Mobile Shower Commode Chair is not designed to be used
as a pool chair. Do not immerse the shower chair in whole or in part, in
water or any other liquid. Immersion may result in damage to the
shower chair.
Chlorine Exposure
Suitable for use in wet areas, but not pools and similarly corrosive
environments.
DO NOT store the device near pools because chlorine in the air
can cause rust to form in some of the chair’s stainless steel
components.
Transfers
The most dangerous part of using any shower chair is the transfer. Since every chair has different
stability characteristics, it is essential to carefully review and test the transfer technique to ensure that
the procedure is safe. Test transfers should be performed with an attendant who can prevent the chair
from tipping or moving during the transfer. If you feel that the transfers cannot be repeatedly performed
safely, contact a healthcare professional who is familiar with transfer techniques and options.
Individuals who have not learned safe transfer skills must seek assistance during transfers and may
require the use of a mechanical lift.
Transferring onto an EZPZ-AP
ALWAYS lock all four casters in their outward position (front casters
positioned in the forward position/rear casters positioned to the rear)
for maximum chair stability.
Transferring onto an EZPZ-SP
ALWAYS lock both front casters in their outward position (positioned
forward) and fully apply both wheel locks so that they securely engage
the rear wheels.
The wheel locks are designed to prevent the self-propelling wheels from
rotating. The dual-locks on the casters are designed to prevent the casters
from rotating and the caster forks from swiveling. Caster locks and wheel
locks DO NOT and CANNOT prevent the shower chair from
sliding/moving if the floor is slippery. A slippery floor can be caused by dust,
water, soap or any substance that does not allow the casters/rear wheels
to grip the floor securely.
Transfers should never be attempted with the shower chair
positioned on slippery surfaces. It is recommended that transfers be
performed on clean, dry, non-slippery surfaces. Hard surface flooring
such as tile, wood or concrete may not provide sufficient grip to keep
locked casters from sliding. A fully-carpeted surface is optimal. Be aware
that area rugs and shower mats can slide on floors and thereby present
a hazardous surface.
DO NOT stand on any part of the frame of the EZPZ Shower Chair.
NEVER use the footplates to assist in transfers. This could cause the
chair to tip. The footrests should be swung to the side or removed entirely
during transfers to provide unobstructed access to the shower chair.
The EZPZ Mobile Shower Commode Chair is NOT intended for use
as a transportation device or a long-term seating system.
