General description

This wheelchair is equipped with Sedeo Ergo seating system. The SedeoErgo seating system provides good support for the head, torso, arms and legs. Optimal body support ensures maximum independence for the wheelchair user.
The wheelchair must be adjusted by a qualified specialist. Incorrect settings may have negative consequences for the seating posture.

Setting up the seating system

The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Sunrise Medical wheelchairs can be adjusted according to specific needs of the user.
In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair settings and wheelchair seating adjustment options. Settings are carried out once, the first time the wheelchair is going to be used. They must be executed by qualified specialist, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Seating adjustment options can be carried out by the user. These adjustment options do not require the use of tools.

The chest strap may only be assembled and adapted by an authorized dealer.
Before operating the stand-up function the chest strap and the positioning belt, supplied as standard has to be buckled in accordance with these user instructions.
Always also use the knee fixation for the stand-up procedure.

DANGER
Due to the risk of choking it is extremely hazardous to use the belts without using the knee fixation.

Chest strap Adjustments

Setting the height of the chest strap, (Fig.5.8)
NOTE: A 5.0 mm Hexagon wrench, (Allen Key), is required.

Positioning
- Seat the user into the chair in the correct seating position.
- Loosen the Allen screw to be able to position the chest strap at the desired height.
- Tighten the Allen screws to a torque value of 9 Nm (+/- 10%).
DANGER
- To prevent choking hazards the belt may not be adjusted too high or too low relative to the users body.
- Make sure the rider does not slide in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the chest strap.
- Never use the chest strap as a patient restraint.
- Never use the chest strap on a user who is comatose or agitated.

CAUTION
Ensure the belt position does not interfere with any other device attached to the wheelchair.

Adaptation/Adjustment

Seat the user into the wheelchair.
- Feed the buckle on the chest strap through the loop, (Fig.5.9).
- Pull the chest strap so that it fully supports the users upper body firmly and comfortably, (Fig.5.10).
- Ensure that chest strap is not too tight.
- Close the buckle until a loud click is heard, (Fig.5.11).
- The D-Ring facilitates easy adjustment for the user, (Fig.5.12).
- Ensure the chest strap fully supports the user and that there is enough room to fit a hands width between the user and the support. (Fig 5.13).

Safety

In addition to the chest strap latches, the chest strap incorporates two further safety features that prevent the unintended opening of the belt
Each of the chest strap latches is secured with an overlaying safety Velcro strap. In addition to these, on each side of the chest strap there is a securing strap which is guided through the D-Ring adding another degree of safety.

WARNING

Never use the stand-up function without the knee fixation, chest strap and positioning belt attached and safely locked.
Make sure the rider does not slide in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the supports.
Never use positioning supports as a patient restraint.
Never use positioning supports on a user who is comatose or agitated.

Using the seating system

Getting in and out of the wheelchair (Transferring)

Sunrise Medical recommend that you consult your healthcare professional for assistance in developing your personal front or side transfer technique to best suit your needs and avoid any personal injury.

DANGER
To prevent a fall:

Ensure controller is switched off during transfers to avoid unintentional movement. If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick and cause your system to move when you do not expect it.
Ensure that the free wheel lever has been set to ‘drive’, & General manual.
Rotate the front casters so that they point forward.
Work with your health care professional to learn all safe methods for transfers.
Make sure motor brakes are engaged. This keeps the system from moving when you transfer.
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer when the seating system seat is not below you.
Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe transfer on your own.
Do not stand on the footrest. Putting your full weight on the footrest may lead to wheelchair damage and to hazardous situations, including the wheelchair tipping up.
Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space between the footrests.

Preparing for a forward transfer (Centre Mount Leg Rest):
DANGER

Move your wheelchair as close as possible to the seat you intend to transfer into.
On the centre mount leg rest, flip both foot plates up out of the way, (Fig.6.1 & Fig.6.2 – A).

Preparing for side transfer

DANGER
- Move your wheelchair as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
- Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.
Flip up armrest
- On the side you wish to transfer from; flip the armrest all the way up until it goes into its mechanical stop. This frees your space for side transfer. (Fig. 6.4).
Remove side cushion
- To remove the side cushion, pull the plastic lever attached to the aluminum seat side rails backwards, (Fig.6 .5 – A).
- Swing the back part of the cushion outwards to an angle of approximately 10°.
- Swing the back part of the cushion outwards to an angle of approximately 10° (Fig 6.6).
- Lift the cushion out from the front pin.

(Powered) seating options

The wheelchair can be equipped by the following mechanical and/or powered options to adjust your seating position. These options can be operated by the user without the use of tools. Powered adjustable seating options (Fig. 6.7 – Fig. 6.9).
How to operate these powered seating options can be found in & Controller

Powered tilt function
Powered seat elevator
Powered backrest recline
Powered elevating leg rests

The wheelchair may be equipped with a feature that allows the powerchair to be driven up to 4.5kph/3mph when the seat is elevated, this feature is called C-Me. For guidance with user weight limits and recommended chair configuration when using C-Me, please refer to your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.

DANGER

Use of the powered adjustable seating options may influence the stability of the wheelchair.
Only use the powered adjustable seating options when the wheelchair is on a flat surface! Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while positioned on an incline.
Please stay clear of any powered actuator while the component is in motion. Sunrise power mechanisms move over large ranges of travel. Users should be aware of their surroundings while components are in motion.
While driving this seating system in the reclined, elevated, or tilted position use caution.
Do Not attempt to operate any power seating option while this seating system is in motion.
Do not attempt to operate the lift or tilt power seating options around children.
Through programming it is possible to reverse the direction of all powered seating functions, ensure you know which direction your seat is going to move before operating.
Please be aware that the lift/tilt modules present a trap hazard. Make sure that during operation the lift/tilt modules are free from all clothing, hands, feet and other extremities, to prevent injury.
Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seating in the elevated position. Before attempting to climb or descend a slope, return the wheelchair to a standard seated drive position, with the backrest upright.
This power system is designed to automatically reduce the maximum driving speed to a creep and/or C-Me mode when certain power seating limits are reached. Depending on the configuration of the chair there might be multiple creep and/or C-Me speeds.
Before operating your chair in creep and/or C-Me mode, read all warnings and guidelines related to this feature.

They will help in understanding how to reduce the risk of a fall or tip-over and how to identify environmental conditions that could affect your safety when driving while the chair is in creep and/or C-Me speed.

When driving indoors or outdoors, in creep mode, it should only be used on flat, level, and hardscape surfaces.
Driving in creep mode should never be attempted on uneven terrain like: gravel, grass, bumpy surfaces, uneven pavement, or hills.
NEVER raise the seat when the chair is being operated in the proximity of any of the terrain types listed above, or on any uneven surface.

Maintenance and cleaning

General Maintenance

All fasteners should be checked monthly for wear, such as loose bolts or broken components.
Loose fasteners should be re-tightened according to the installation instructions.
Check all straps monthly for fraying, ripped seams or other indications of excessive wear damage. Discontinue use if damage is found.
Chest straps should be replaced at the first indication of damage and/or excessive wear.
If a broken or loose component is found, discontinue use immediately and contact your authorised Sunrise Medical supplier for replacement.
