Usage

- 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 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.
