2SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Training

Before the chair is put into service, this manual must be read thoroughly by the caregiver(s) directly

responsible for the resident’s care.

After the chair is put into service, this manual must be read thoroughly by any new caregivers prior to

operating or moving the chair.

For the purpose of this manual, a resident’s family member who shares responsibility for their care is considered a

caregiver and is subject to the same competency before being permitted by the resident’s primary caregiver to

operate of move the chair.

Prior to first use, the customer must arrange for an in-service on the operation and safety requirements in this

manual, must be given to the resident’s caregivers by the local Broda representative who supplied the chair.

The primary caregiver must maintain a list of caregivers who have read this manual and who they have authorized to

operate and move the chair.

The resident’s primary caregiver is responsible for ensuring that anyone who is unfamiliar with, unwilling, or unable

to adhere to the safety and operating instructions, is not permitted to operate or move the chair.

The operations of the chair must be performed by the resident’s primary caregiver who is responsible for seating. All

The operations and adjustments performed should be done in a manner to ensure the overall safety, comfort and

well-being of the resident, caregiver and third party. All operations and adjustments required for the resident should

be determined by the resident’s primary caregiver who is responsible for seating.

2.2 Application

Broda chairs are intended exclusively for residents of long-term care institutions who are under the care of

professional caregivers. The suitability of a Broda chair must be determined by a qualified caregiver who is familiar

with the seating needs of the intended resident. Any other use of the chair is excluded from possible liability claims.

The chairs are not explosion resistant and must not be used where there are flammable gases or liquids present (e.g.,

anesthetics, volatile solvents and cleaners, etc.)

Broda chairs are designed for use with specific Broda parts and accessories. The use of non-Broda parts or

accessories with a Broda will void the warranty and is excluded from possible liability claims.

Broda chairs may only be used as described in this manual and with proper regard for recognized healthcare and

workplace safety and accident prevention practices.

2.3 Shipping and Storage

Broda chairs should be shipped and stored in an upright position and not stacked higher than 3 boxes. No other

materials should be shipped or stored on top of a Broda box. Broda boxes should not be placed on pallets.

Broda chairs should be shipped and stored at temperatures between -20ºC and 40ºC. Broda chairs should not be used

until they are between 0ºC and 30ºC.

Broda Commode Shower Chairs should be wiped dry after use. Do not leave Broda chairs outdoors as it may cause

the paint to peel.

Upon receipt, the shipping carton must be immediately examined for damage. Any damage should be noted on the

delivery receipt and a request for inspection by the transportation company should be made. Next, the shipping

carton should be opened, and the chair must be examined for concealed shipping damage. If the chair appears to be

damaged, do not use the chair. File a concealed damage report with the transportation company.

2.4 Pre-Service Check

Broda chairs are delivered fully assembled. If the chair does not appear to be ready to use upon receipt, immediately

contact your supplier and do not put the chair into service until any concerns have been resolved.

Visually inspect the chair for damage, missing parts, and loose fasteners prior to testing the chair’s functions.

Functional testing must be successfully completed after visual inspection and before use. These obligations apply to

the chair’s first use and to all subsequent uses (Section 4: Inspection and Functional Testing).

2.5 Hazards

2.5.1 Position of Chair - “Danger of Falling”

After a resident is transferred into a chair, assess the amount of tilt required. We recommend that the chair’s seat be

tilted sufficiently to prevent the resident from sliding or falling forward off the chair. The amount of seat tilt used

should be determined by the resident’s caregiver who is responsible for seating.

We recommend that the resident’s feet be correctly positioned on the footrests and slightly to fully elevated to

prevent the resident from sliding or falling forward off the chair. The amount of elevation used should be determined

by the resident’s caregiver who is responsible for seating.

2.5.2 Location of Chair - “Danger of Tipping or Falling Objects”

We recommend that when a resident has been moved to their destination, the chair is placed where the resident

cannot reach handrails or other objects, fixed or movable. This is to prevent the resident from pulling the chair over

or pulling themselves off the seating surface and to prevent the resident from pulling movable objects onto the chair

and themselves.

We recommend that the chair be used in a supervised area to prevent untrained residents, caregivers, or third parties

from unauthorized operation, movement, or unsafe actions such as sitting or leaning on the reclined back, elevated

footrest, or the armrests. These actions, if not prevented, put the chair at risk of tipping or damage to the chair.

We recommend that a chair only be located on a level surface to minimize the risk of tipping over.

2.5.3 Total Lock Wheel Brakes - “Danger of Falling”

The special casters found on the Broda chair have total lock brakes which prevent the wheels from turning and

swiveling. The brakes must always be applied when:

1) the chair is not in use

2) the chair is not being moved by the caregiver

3) a resident is being transferred (moved) into or out of the chair;

It is important to note that if the wheel locks are applied while the patient is in the chair, that the caregiver does not

leave the patient unattended, especially those patients who have the capability or tendency to move the chair and/or

those who may be agitated. This could cause harm to the patient if they attempt to move the chair while the wheel

locks are applied.

Note that removing and attaching the footrest may be easier for the caregiver with the brakes applied

Failure to follow these instructions will unnecessarily increase the risk of serious falls by residents, caregivers, or

third parties caused by the chair unintentionally moving.

2.5.4 Re-Positioning of Resident - “Danger of Clamping”

Broda chairs offer the benefits of seat tilt, back recline, leg rest/footrest elevation, and moveable arms. During the

movement of any of these functions, the following safety measures must be observed:

1) The resident’s arms must be positioned on the armrests or inside the chair frame with their hands

on their body or on.

2) The resident’s feet must be correctly positioned on the footrest.

3) All of the chair’s brakes have been applied.

4) Only one caregiver at a time attempts to operate the chair’s functions.

5) Only one chair function is operated at a time.

6) The rear wheels are in the trailing position, behind the chair frame.

7) The residents’ and caregivers’ body are clear of all pinch points before operating the chair’s

functions.

Failure to follow these safety measures can put the residents’ or caregivers’ limbs at risk of injury. Residents who

may be unaware of their body position or unable to maintain a safe body position are at the most risk of the danger

from clamping and caregivers should be more cautious with these residents. A second caregiver may be required to

ensure the safety of these residents during these operations.

2.5.5 Unintended Movement - “Danger of Falling or Collision”

We recommend Broda chairs for indoor use within a long-term care institution and where there is not enough slope

to cause the chairs to move unaided. Chairs used where the surface is uneven or sloped are at risk of unintended

movement and could become a serious danger to the resident, caregiver(s), or a third party. We recommend that

Broda chairs are located away from stairwells, elevators, and exterior doorways within a long-term care institution.

2.5.6 Improper Restraint Use - “Risk of Serious Injury”

We recommend that alternatives to physical restraints be used with residents while seated in the chair except under

the specific instructions of the resident’s primary caregiver and with permission of the resident’s family or guardian.

2.6 Improper Use

As outlined, the improper use of the chair is dangerous to the resident, caregivers, or third parties, and can consist of,

but is not limited to the following:

1) Unauthorized operation of the chair’s functions.

2) Unauthorized movement of the chair.

3) Inappropriate use of the chair for a resident who has not been assessed by a qualified caregiver

responsible for their seating.

4) Failure to frequently reposition the resident in the chair

5) Attempting to operate of multiple chair functions simultaneously by one or more caregivers.

6) Attempting to move the chair with the brake(s) applied.

7) Leaving the resident unattended in the chair near other objects.

8) Leaving an agitated resident in the chair in an unsupervised area.

9) Leaving a resident unattended.

10) Leaving a resident in a chair on a sloping surface.

11) Leaving a chair unattended on a sloping surface.

12) Using non-Broda accessories on the chair.

13) Using the chair at temperatures below 0ºC.

14) Using the chair for any use other than its intended purpose.

2.7 Cleaning

Broda chairs should be wiped clean with soap and water. Diluted household strength ammonia or chlorine based

cleaner, as well as a hospital grade cleaner may be used if necessary.

For best cleaning results, certain parts on the chair should be removed: Instructions for removal of the following

parts are in this manual: Ensure that the entire chair including removable and non-removable parts is thoroughly

cleaned.

Pay close attention to the frame, sockets, fasteners, parts and casters, for an even, thorough clean.

Remove parts for cleaning if desired:

1) Commode Seat

2) Vinyl Back support

3) Footrest

4) Commode Pan and Basket

Thoroughly clean all removable parts and padding, as well as the frame and components around the parts and

padding that have been removed. To help maintain the function of the gas springs, we recommend keeping them

lubricated after each use. A white food grade grease may be used. Solvents such as those found in spray lubricants

should not be used.

Broda chairs should not be cleaned with petroleum-based cleaners. Any petroleum-based products that come in

contact with any vinyl surface should be removed as quickly as possible.

Frequency and method of cleaning the chairs should be determined by facility infection control protocols. If visibly

soiled, thoroughly clean the chair immediately as per the cleaning instructions in this manual.

The cleaning instructions in this manual are guidelines only. Results may vary under actual conditions. The

information does not relieve the user of proper and safe use of the product and all cleaning agents and consideration

for the overall cleaning maintenance of the chair. Cleaning and care instructions must be followed in conjunction

with facility infection control protocols.

Broda will not accept warranty or liability claims on chairs that have not been cleaned according to the instructions

or cared for in proper regard for patient, caregiver and third-party safety and hygiene. The use of certain agents may

be harmful to the surface appearance and lifespan of the vinyl. Broda assumes no responsibility resulting from the

use of such cleaning agents to the vinyl.

Touch up paint is available for the powder coated frame. Please call Broda’s Customer Service Department if touch

up paint is required. Do not leave Broda chairs outdoors as the frame is not UV protected. Leaving the chairs

outdoors could cause the paint to peel.

2.8 Maintenance

The maintenance on a Broda chair will vary with the amount of use and the condition of the resident using the chair.

In regular use, after the initial inspection and functional testing, the chair should be inspected and tested bimonthly.

We recommend visually inspecting for signs of wear, damage, loose or missing fasteners, and other safety concerns.

Periodic testing of chair functions is also necessary. If a breakage, defect, or operational problem is detected, the

chair must be successfully repaired, inspected and tested for function before it is returned to service.

The chair should be inspected and tested as often as each use if the chair is used by:

1) Aggressive or agitated residents.

2) Residents who have involuntary movements.

3) Residents weighing over 220 lbs.

4) A facility with irregular or sloped surfaces.

5) Any unauthorized person.

Do not use lubricants that contain solvents. Solvents may compromise any rubber components on the chair. If

necessary, white food grade grease or lubricant can be used on any sliding components.
