Usage

Place the chair on a stable, level surface before use.
Check the frame, welds, feet and upholstery for visible damage or instability before seating patients or visitors.
Use the chair only for seated patients/visitors; do not stand on the chair, tilt it back excessively, or use it as a step or support aid.
When stacking, follow manufacturer instructions for maximum recommended stacking height and ensure chairs are aligned and stable.
Clean the frame and upholstery regularly with non-abrasive, non-chlorinated detergents or disinfectants compatible with antimicrobial vinyl, following local infection-control guidelines.
Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive pads that could damage the vinyl surface or frame coating.
If any component is damaged (for example, upholstery tears or bent frame), remove the chair from service and consult the supplier or manufacturer for repair or replacement.

Contraindications

Not intended for use as a step, ladder or physical support for standing transfers.
Not suitable for users whose weight exceeds the manufacturer’s specified safe working load (contact manufacturer or distributor for current SWL information).
Use with caution for patients with severe postural instability or those requiring specialist bariatric or postural-support seating.
Do not use if the chair frame, welds, feet or upholstery are visibly damaged or unstable.

Adverse Effects

Incorrect use (e.g. standing on the chair, leaning heavily on backrest, exceeding safe working load) may lead to instability, tipping or mechanical failure and risk of falls.
Damaged or poorly maintained upholstery may create snagging points for clothing or skin and may compromise infection-control cleaning.
Inappropriate cleaning agents may degrade vinyl upholstery over time, leading to cracking or discolouration.

Storage Conditions

Store indoors in a dry environment when not in use.
If stacking multiple chairs, stack only to the height recommended by the manufacturer and on a level surface.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct strong sunlight or high heat sources which may fade or degrade upholstery over time.
Do not store outdoors or in damp environments to minimise corrosion risk to the metal frame and degradation of upholstery.
