Infection prevention commode / shower chair
Description
The Clinell Easyclean Commode (Easy Clean Commode) is an award-winning, infection-prevention commode chair designed for use in hospitals, care homes and other clinical environments. Marketed as the UK’s number one infection prevention commode, it features a unique ultra-hygienic design that can be dismantled quickly into only a small number of parts for thorough cleaning. The seat, backrest and other patient-contact components are made from smooth, durable, non-porous plastic, allowing easy wiping and minimising areas where dirt and microorganisms can accumulate. The frame is constructed from high-grade 316L stainless steel with an advanced electrochemical anti-oxidation coating for superior corrosion resistance, strength and longevity. The commode is multi-functional: it works with both pulp and plastic bedpans, can be positioned over a standard toilet, and can also be used as a shower chair. It incorporates hinged, lockable armrests, a safe and sanitary latex-free plastic seat cover that sits flush with the seat, a removable plastic bedpan rack and rotating, removable footrests. The Easyclean Commode has won the GOOD DESIGN™ Award and is supplied with a long frame warranty (10 years), helping to deliver a low total cost of ownership for clinical settings.

Usage
Assemble the commode according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring all components (frame, seat, armrests, footrests, castors and bedpan rack) are correctly fitted and secure.
Before first use and between patients, clean and disinfect all plastic and metal surfaces with appropriate detergent and disinfectant products in line with local infection-prevention policies.
Apply brakes on the castors before assisting the patient onto or off the commode to ensure stability.
Use the hinged armrests and footrests to assist safe patient transfers; ensure arms are locked in the down position during use.
Insert the appropriate pulp or plastic bedpan into the removable bedpan rack, or position the commode over a toilet as required.
When used as a shower chair, ensure castors are locked during transfer and unlocked as needed for safe manoeuvring, following local safety procedures.
After each use, remove the bedpan and dispose of contents according to clinical waste protocols, then clean and disinfect the commode thoroughly, including frame, seat, armrests, footrests and castors.
Periodically inspect the frame, castors and plastic components for signs of wear, damage or corrosion and remove from service if any safety issues are identified.
Only trained staff should assemble, dismantle, move and use the commode with patients, following local manual-handling and infection-control guidelines.
Contraindications
Not suitable for use with patients whose weight exceeds the stated maximum user weight (approximately 190 kg / 30 st).
Should not be used on steep ramps, uneven floors or surfaces where the castors cannot be safely locked.
Not intended for use without appropriate supervision for patients who are at high risk of falls or who cannot sit safely without additional restraints or support, unless risk-assessed and managed by clinical staff.
Do not use if any structural parts (frame, castors, armrests, footrests, seat or bedpan rack) are damaged, missing or not securely fitted.
Adverse Effects
Risk of patient falls or injury if brakes are not applied correctly or if the commode is used on unsuitable surfaces.
Potential pinching, trapping or minor soft tissue injury if limbs are placed incorrectly near moving parts such as hinged arms or rotating footrests.
Skin pressure or discomfort if patients are seated for prolonged periods without appropriate pressure-relief measures or repositioning.
Infection-control risk if the commode is not dismantled and cleaned thoroughly between patients or if disinfection protocols are not followed.
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry indoor environment when not in use.
Ensure the commode is cleaned and disinfected before storage, especially after use as a shower chair or commode.
Park the commode with castor brakes applied to prevent unintended movement.
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or outdoor environments that could compromise the plastic components or protective coating on the stainless steel frame.
