Flexo Shower-toilet chair | Instructions for use | 5
1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction
The height-adjustable shower-toilet chair Flexo is a medical device for caring for
and washing clients in an ergonomically responsible manner. Comfort is the primary
consideration for both the client and the carer.
The Flexo can also be used as a toilet chair, in combination with a bedpan / bucket or
a toilet. The Flexo comprises a base frame and chair component. The chair component
provides the same comfort as a regular chair and offers the same degree of support.
The chair component can be hydraulically adjusted in height, in relation to the base frame.
The Flexo is thus a multifunctional device.
The frame of the Flexo has an antibacterial coating. The coating contains silver ions.
Antibacterial coating based on silver ions prevents dangerous micro-organisms such as
bacteria, fungi and algae multiply and spread. The effectiveness was confirmed in several
tests. Germs were demonstrably reduced in a short time to 99.99%. The coating only
affects bacteria that are found on the surface and not on airborne micro-organisms. The
coating protects users or others from disease-causing bacteria, germs, viruses or other
harmful organisms. On a dirty surface, the coating loses its antibacterial properties. So
proper cleaning and disinfection is still a must.
The expected technical lifetime of the Flexo is 10 years, provided that daily and periodic
maintenance is carried out according to the specified maintenance schedule (See chapter
4. Cleaning and maintenance).
The Flexo is a medical class 1 product with CE marking. This marking is in accordance
with the regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745.

3. Operation
3.1. Wheel blocking
• The brake can be applied on the Flexo by pushing the blue
lip (1) on the wheel downwards (See figure 1).
• In order to take the Flexo off the brake, the same lip on the
wheel must be moved upwards by tapping the upper side
of the lip (2) (See figure 1).
Option: Steering wheel left front.
3.2. Footrests
• Before the client takes a seat in the Flexo, the footrests must be folded upwards. This
will ensure there is sufficient space for the person to easily take a seat in the chair (See
figure 2). If more room is required, the footrests can be turned out (See figure 3). First,
the footrests must be slightly raised (1) and then they can be turned outwards (2).
• The carer or the client first raises one leg; the carer can then fold the footrest down
(See figure 4). The same procedure is then carried out with the other leg.
Always replace this component on the chair when you have finished using it.
This will avoid the component being lost.
