REGULATION 28: REPORT TO PREVENT FUTURE DEATHS NOTE: This form is to be used after an inquest. REGULATION 28 REPORT TO PREVENT DEATHS THIS REPORT IS BEING SENT TO: The Medicine and Healthcare Products and Regulatory Agency The Department for Health and Social Care 1 CORONER I am Miss I THISTLETHWAITE, His Majesty's Assistant Coroner for the coroner area of Rutland and North Leicestershire. 2 CORONER’S LEGAL POWERS I make this report under paragraph 7, Schedule 5, of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and regulations 28 and 29 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013. 3 INVESTIGATION and INQUEST On 05 March 2024 I commenced an investigation into the death of Susan Marion LAKIN aged 72. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on . The conclusion of the inquest was that: Accidental death The cause of death was established as: I a Respiratory compromise by Support Belt I b Postural Impairment I c Corticobasal Syndrome and Atypical Parkinson's Disease II 4 CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH Mrs Lakin was a 72 year old female who lived alone with the support of her family and carers. Mrs Lakin experienced a progressive decline of her mobility and started to fall out of her armchair, her family purchased an “armchair lap belt” to prevent the falls. On 19 February 2023 Mrs Lakin slid down her armchair and under the lap belt, it became caught around her neck and she died as a result. 5 CORONER’S CONCERNS During the course of the investigation my inquiries revealed matters giving rise to concern. In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken. In the circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you. Regulation 28 – After Inquest Document Template Updated 16/05/2023 The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows: Pre-amble Mrs Lakin was a 72 year old female who was diagnosed with Corticobasal Syndrome which caused a progressive decline in both her mobility and memory. In 2023 Mrs Lakin started to have carers to support her at home. Her mobility continued to deteriorate and she started to use a wheelchair, she also started to fall out of bed at night and fall out of her armchair. Concerned about Mrs Lakin falling out of her armchair her family went onto the internet and found for sale an “armchair belt” which they purchased on 8 December 2023 and fitted to Mrs Lakin’s armchair on 9 December 2023. The belt was used without issue until Mrs Lakin died on 19 February 2024. CCTV cameras captured Mrs Lakin slipping down her armchair and underneath the lap belt which then becomes caught around her neck. Mrs Lakin was unable to self-rescue by mobilising in the way that some people might be able to and therefore remained trapped, and effectively suspended by the lap belt around her neck, until she was found by a family member who visited her. Mrs Lakin died shortly after she was found. A post mortem report has confirmed the cause of Mrs Lakin’s death to be 1a) Respiratory compromise by support belt, 1b) Postural impairment, 1c) Corticobasal syndrome and atypical Parkinson’s disease. Concerns Mrs Lakin’s family purchased the lap belt with good intentions, they wanted to keep Mrs Lakin safe. The advertisement and sales particulars for the lap belt that they purchased states “fits any armchair”, that it provides “extra support to prevent accidents” and finally that it provides “adequate trunk stability avoiding lateral displacements and slides” and “minimises the chance that the patient will… suffer any injuries, tilting or slipping”. The advertisement and sales particulars contain no warning about the risks that are associated with the use of the lap belt, nor any suggestion that the lap belt should be used or fitted under the guidance/supervision of a therapist or medical professional. The evidence heard at the inquest was that the lap belt should be considered a “high risk” piece of equipment (it is categorised as such in the local NHS Trust’s Standard Operating Procedure) and that appropriate warnings should be given to those purchasing lap belts in relation to the risks of physical restraint, tissue viability risks and finally the risk of strangulation. It is concerning that people who have no healthcare training at all can purchase high risk equipment for their loved ones online without being appraised of those risks or even being informed about the high risk nature of the equipment. Lap belts, and other seemingly basic pieces of healthcare equipment, are readily available for people to purchase online without them being appraised of the risks that come with the use of the same. 6 ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you (and/or your organisation) have the power to take such action. 7 YOUR RESPONSE Regulation 28 – After Inquest Document Template Updated 16/05/2023 You are under a duty to respond to this report within 56 days of the date of this report, namely by May 30, 2025. I, the coroner, may extend the period. Your response must contain details of action taken or proposed to be taken, setting out the timetable for action.

From Minister of State for Care 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 24 June 2025 Our ref: HM Assistant Coroner Miss I Thistlethwaite HM Coroner’s Office Leicestershire County Council County Hall Glenfield Leicestershire LE3 8RA By email: Dear Miss Thistlethwaite, Thank you for the Regulation 28 report of 11th April 2025 sent to the Department of Health and Social Care about the death of Mrs Susan Marion Lakin. I am replying as the Minister with responsibility for adult social care. Firstly, I would like to say how saddened I was to read of the circumstances of Mrs Lakin’s tragic death, and I offer my sincere condolences to her loved ones. The circumstances your report describes are very concerning and I am grateful to you for bringing these matters to my attention. The report raises concerns over the advertisement and sale of the lap belt products which led to Mrs Lakin’s death, and the lack of warning and information around the dangers that could arise from their use. Officials within the Department of Health and Social Care have considered these concerns and concluded that the responsibility for these concerns sits within another organisation. I understand the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is also responding to your report, and I hope that their response will be helpful. I will be writing to the Office of Product Safety and Standards with my deep concerns about the product in question. You may also like to make the OPSS aware of your concerns. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Yours sincerely, MINISTER OF STATE
Office for Product Safety and Standards 4th Floor Multistory 18 The Priory Queensway Birmingham B4 6BS Miss Isobel Thistlethwaite HM Assistant Coroner, Rutland and North Leicestershire Rutland and North Leicestershire Coroners Court, County Hall, Glenfield LE3 8RA 6 November 2025 Dear Miss Thistlethwaite I am the Deputy Chief Executive for Regulation at the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), responding to your Prevention of Future Deaths report into the fatality of 72-year-old Susan Lakin, involving an ORTONES support belt for wheelchairs and armchairs. I was very sorry to hear of this tragic fatality, and if you have the opportunity, please pass on my condolences to Mrs Lakin’s family. As explained in their response to your report, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) informed OPSS of this case earlier in the year and shared details regarding the circumstances of Mrs Lakin’s death, the product involved and the businesses identified. Since being made aware, OPSS has taken a range of actions in relation to these and similar products, which I have set out below. OPSS has confirmed the position advised by MHRA that the ORTONES Wheelchair and Geriatric Armchair Belt Restraint is not in scope of the healthcare products regulatory regime, and is instead covered by the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (the 2005 Regulations). The 2005 Regulations require businesses to ensure that consumer products placed on the UK market are safe, and that potential risks associated with their use have been mitigated or reduced as far as possible. This includes by providing appropriate instructions for safe use, information about restrictions on use, and any relevant warnings. The 2005 Regulations apply where there are not sector specific regulations. OPSS can confirm that the relevant businesses (the manufacturer, Eurobaston, and Comercial Nespral, the distributor of the product in the UK), have undertaken the following corrective action to address the risks posed by the products: • provided updated information in the instructions regarding the product’s potential risks, and issued this to customers who had already purchased the product; • removed the product from sale via Amazon; • withdrawn the product from the UK market. The distributor submitted a product notification to OPSS as required by Regulation 9 of the GPSR. This publicises the risk posed by the product and the mitigating actions taken by the manufacturer. These steps should ensure the product is no longer available to purchase in the UK. On 31 October, OPSS published a product safety report for the ORTONES belt on the Product The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) delivers consumer protection and supports business confidence, productivity and growth. It is part of the Department for Business and Trade. gov.uk/opss Recalls and Alerts gov.uk website, to raise awareness of consumers, businesses and other regulators to this product’s risks, and the corrective action taken by the business. Alongside the steps to reduce the risk to consumers posed by the ORTONES belt, OPSS has been gathering wider intelligence into wheelchair/armchair support belt products. There is a broad range of similar support belts and harnesses available to UK consumers, supplied via online marketplaces and by specialist retailers. This review did not find any evidence of product safety concerns raised by Trading Standards or Citizens Advice, and OPSS had not received notifications about support belts to our Product Safety Database from other regulators. However, OPSS noted that the MHRA recorded 29 medical incidents involving these product types since 2014, resulting in one fatality and 20 injuries. We also found that the British Standards Institution referred to four fatalities in the 15 years prior to introducing the relevant product standard BS EN 8625:2019. Further, in our research into similar products available on the market today, OPSS established that certain items, intended to aid people who may have mobility or strength impairments, were accompanied by instructions for safe use that require levels of physical ability that might be beyond people with such impairments. These products may not be safe if used without help or supervision, but many products did not carry reasonable warnings to raise awareness of, or address, this risk. On this basis, OPSS is taking further action on this product category. We have written to major online marketplaces, including Amazon, eBay, Temu, Shein and Alibaba, to make them aware that certain products may not be provided with suitable instructions or warnings to assure safe use by likely users. This will assist online marketplaces to identify whether these products are available on their platforms and take action to update or remove relevant listings. OPSS has also alerted online marketplaces to our Product Safety Report published for the ORTONES belt to make clear this product should not be supplied. OPSS has highlighted our activity for these products to relevant stakeholders, including Age UK and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. OPSS is continuing to monitor the available evidence and engage with retailers and manufacturers in the UK, to ensure products are supplied with clear and appropriate instructions and warnings and do not pose a risk when they are used normally and foreseeably. I hope this information is helpful and provides evidence of OPSS’s commitment to protecting consumers, following your Prevention of Future Deaths report into the tragic death of Mrs Lakin. I would be grateful, should you have the opportunity, if you would share this with the family.

Reference:
30 May 2025
Dear Miss Thistlethwaite,
Regulation 28: Inquest to investigate the death of Mrs Susan Marion LAKIN.
We acknowledge your Regulation 28 prevention of future death report, received by MHRA
on 11 April 2025, relating to the conclusions of the inquest investigating the sad death of
Susan Marion Lakin. We would like to offer our sincere condolences to her family.
Your report raises the following concerns:
• The sale of Support Belts that contain no warnings in relation to the risks of physical
restraint, tissue viability risks and finally the risk of strangulation.
• The sale of Support Belts that contain no suggestion that the product should be used
or fitted under the guidance/supervision of a therapist or medical professional.
• Support Belts, and other seemingly basic pieces of healthcare equipment, are readily
available for people to purchase online without them being appraised of the risks that
come with their use.
I have taken the opportunity to provide you with some supporting information below, before
providing comments to your matters of concern.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is an executive agency
of the Department of Health and Social Care (“DHSC”). We are the regulator of medicines,
medical devices and blood components for transfusion in the UK.
With respect to medical devices, one major area of the MHRA’s responsibilities is the
investigation of adverse incidents. An adverse incident is an event involving a medical device,
which produces, or has the potential to produce, unwanted effects involving the safety of
patients, users and other persons.
The MHRA operates a voluntary reporting scheme, called the Yellow Card scheme 1, where
health professionals and members of the public can report adverse incidents to us directly.
Additionally, manufacturers of medical devices are required to report details of all serious
incidents involving medical devices to the MHRA as part of their mandatory vigilance reporting.
Where serious incidents involving medical devices have been reported to other authorities
including the police and coroners, the MHRA provides input if required. The MHRA will then
ensure any concerns raised from these investigations, if required, are disseminated to either
healthcare professionals directly or to healthcare institutions to help to prevent further
incidents and take up the concerns directly with the manufacturer of the medical device.
Manufacturers placing a medical device on the market are required to identify the potential
hazards associated with the use of the medical device, evaluate the related risks and
eliminate or reduce these risks as far as possible; finally users of the device must be
informed of any residual risks. Manufacturers are expected to follow the principles set out in
BS EN ISO 14971:2019+A11:2021 Medical devices - Application of risk management to
medical devices. This approach aims to also ensure that any new risks are incorporated into
risk management process therefore facilitating ongoing improvement throughout the
product’s lifecycle.
Manufacturers should also demonstrate how their devices meet the relevant
Designated/Harmonized Standards. If they have not applied these standards, then they must
provide a description of the solutions adopted to fulfil the requirements which apply to the
devices. This information should be included within their technical documentation for
the devices.
It is important to note that the MHRA does not conduct inspections of medical devices, nor
do we directly authorise or certify medical devices for placement onto the market. However,
all medical devices are required to be registered with the MHRA prior to selling them in the
UK.
Each medical device is assigned a classification (I, IIa, IIb or III) based largely upon its
considered “risk” factor to the patient according to medical device classification rules in
the Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (SI 2002 No 618, as amended) (UK MDR 2002)2. To
place a medical device on the market, manufacturers must obtain certification that
demonstrates their conformity to the regulatory requirements 3. This certification is represented
as a CE or UKCA mark and is displayed on the medical device itself. To gain CE or UKCA
1 Yellow Card | Making medicines and medical devices safer (mhra.gov.uk)
2 The Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (legislation.gov.uk)
3 Regulating medical devices in the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
marking, the higher risk (class IIa, IIb and III) devices need to be certified by an approved
conformity assessment body. Whereas manufacturers of the lowest risk/class devices (class
I) self-certify against the requirements in relevant legislation. 4
Background
In April 2015 the MHRA released Medical Device Alert (MDA/2015/018), for all posture or
safety belts fitted to supportive seating5. The Alert stated, “Using the wrong type of belt or a
belt that isn’t fitted or adjusted properly can lead to serious injury or death of the person
using the equipment.”
The Alert goes on to explain that all users and carers need to have received training on how
to check, adjust, clean, and maintain each device; and individuals need to be reviewed to
check that the right type of belt is used and adjusted correctly.
Finally, the alert clarifies that the problems associated with these devices include “the person
in the seat slipping down and suffering positional asphyxiation or strangulation...”. The
targeted audience was those involved in the provision, prescription, use and maintenance of
the belts and it was cascaded through the Central Alerting System (CAS). This was
withdrawn in 2022 as the number of reports had reduced to zero and the actions should
have been incorporated into good practice within the NHS.
Action undertaken by MHRA to date
Establishment of the appropriate Regulator
On receipt of the regulation 28 letter we sought further confirmation that the support belt
purchased by Mrs Lakin’s family was the ORTONES Wheelchair and Geriatric Armchair Belt
Restraint, reference D2100 (henceforth referred to the ORTONES belt).
Through our investigations, the manufacturer Eurobaston S.L, confirmed that the ORTONES
belt is marketed as a class I medical device in Spain, however they had not registered the
ORTONES belt with the MHRA, which is a legal requirement for all medical devices sold in
the UK. They informed us that they were unaware that their distributor, Comercial Nespral
S.L, was selling the product in the UK. Comercial Nespral S.L, has confirmed that the
ORTONES belt is no longer marketed in the UK.
The MHRA’s Borderline team have reviewed the intended use and claims of the ORTONES
belt and concluded that wheelchair belts are unlikely to meet the definition of a medical
device in their own right, as the intended purpose is to prevent accidents and falls, which is
not considered to be a medical purpose.
We also considered whether the belt would meet the definition of an accessory to a medical
device. An “accessory” to a medical device, as defined by regulation 5(1) of the UK MDR,
means a product which, whilst not itself a medical device, is intended specifically by its
manufacturer to be used together with a medical device, to enable that device to be used in
accordance with its intended use. Wheelchair belts are considered accessories if they are
specifically designed by the manufacturer for use in conjunction with a specific wheelchair,
4 Guidance on Class I medical devices - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
5 Medical Device Alert
and the manufacturer of the wheelchair has evidenced in their instructions for use that their
wheelchair cannot fulfil its intended purpose without the belt.
In considering the Instructions for Use for the ORTONES belt (Annex A), we do not consider
it would be classified as an accessory to a medical device based on the following:
1. There are no claims that the belt is intended to be used with a specific wheelchair
2. The belt seems to be designed for general use as it is also promoted for use on non-
medical products (armchairs)
3. The intended use is stated to provide “maximum support and safety: It is designed to
bring maximum comfort to the user of a wheelchair. Provides extra support to prevent
accidents and falls”, which is not a medical purpose
It is worth noting that in the UK, not all products which are used in a healthcare environment,
by a disabled person, or by a healthcare professional or carer, qualify as medical devices.
It should be noted that wheelchairs may come already supplied with a belt, and in these
cases, the belt is a component of the wheelchair and the wheelchair as a whole, including
the belt, is regulated as a medical device.
In addition to the concerns regarding the ORTONES belt, we have identified several other
supportive belts that are sold online that do not appear to be registered with the MHRA.
However, they also make general claims, similar to the ORTONES belt, and are therefore
unlikely to qualify as medical devices or accessories to a medical device.
Given this, the MHRA has advised the relevant regulator, the Office of Product Safety and
Standards (OPSS), to ensure that they are aware of your concerns.
Warnings.
We have reviewed the ISO standard for Selection, placement and fixation of flexible postural
support devices in seating (part 15 of the wheelchair seating series): ISO/TS 16840‑15:2024.
The purpose of this standard is to specify the criteria to be applied to positioning supports
when used in seating systems and chairs.
According to ISO/TS 16840‑15:2024, flexible postural support devices (PSD) shall be
prescribed for safety when the primary purpose is to protect the occupant from
injury (e.g. to prevent falling from the seat), and occupants should be assessed as to the
correct style and size of PSD to be prescribed. The standard also covers the safety
information to be included in the user instructions for use; for example “any special
requirements as to who can prescribe and fit a postural support”, the “need for any periodic
checking the occupant’s skin for associated pressure injuries” and “the risks of strangulation
due to poor positioning”.
The MHRA reviewed the instructions for use for the ORTONES belt (see attached
document). While they did not contain the warnings required in the standard, as the belt is
not considered a medical device or accessory to a medical device, addressing this is outside
the MHRA’s remit. However, this information will be highlighted to OPSS as the relevant
regulator.
Prevalence of the problem
There are many other supportive belt devices that are registered with the MHRA as medical
devices. We reviewed the MHRA’s adverse incident database for cases involving support
belts that were reported to us between 1 April 2015 to 23 April 2025 following the release of
the alert in 2015. The broad device code ‘Wheelchair accessory’ was used in the search,
which includes types of wheelchair/chair/stander occupant restraint/support devices.
This search generated 398 reports, twenty-nine (29) of which specifically detailed the use of
a support belt, one of which resulted in a fatality. See Table 1 for a breakdown of these
incident reports.

Twenty-two (22) out of twenty-nine (29) reported incidents took place between 2014 and
2018. We note that Mrs Lakin’s case had not been reported to us prior to receiving the
Regulation 28 report, and recognise that adverse incident reports for products not regulated
as medical devices, would not be reported to the MHRA.
Further action to be undertaken by MHRA
Eurobaston S.L has committed to the re-evaluation of the ORTONES belt design, labelling
and instructions for use. Eurobaston S.L have informed us that they will be working with
Comercial Nespral S.L to determine what corrective actions can be implemented for
ORTONES belts that have been distributed in the UK.
The MHRA will inform OPSS of this ongoing investigation into the sale of support belts
without the appropriate warnings, including the ORTONES belt. In addition, we will include
OPSS in our communications with the Eurobaston S.L, to assess the appropriateness of
their corrective actions.
Any wheelchair belts which would fall under the definition of a medical device or accessory
and are not registered with the MHRA will be referred to the MHRA’s compliance team.
Conclusion
Pending the conclusion of the investigation and actions detailed above, we will continue to
monitor all adverse incidence reports we receive and take any necessary action as
appropriate.
Yours sincerely,
Chief Safety Officer

WHEELCHAIR BELT
The Abdominal belt has maximum support and safety: It is designed to provide maximum comfort to the user of a
wheelchair, geriatric chair or armchair. It provides extra support to prevent accidents and falls. It minimises the possibility
of the patient falling and suffering injuries, tipping or slipping.
CINTURON SILLA DE RUEDAS
El cinturón Abdominal tiene máxima sujeción y seguridad: Está diseñado para conseguir aportar la comodidad máxima
al usuario de una Silla de Ruedas, Silla Geriátrica o Sillón. Aporta una sujeción extra para prevenir accidentes y caídas.
Reduce al mínimo la posibilidad de que el paciente se caiga y pueda sufrir lesiones, se ladee o se resbale.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Suitable for people with reduced mobility, wheelchair and geriatric chair users, who require extra support to prevent falls
and fronto-lateral slipping in a seated position.
The belts must be adjusted to the user's anatomy, so that they are tight enough to effectively hold the user in the chair,
but not too tight to avoid injuries or lacerations.
For this purpose, the length of the fastening straps has to be adjusted in advance by means of the movable adjustment
of the locking part of the plastic trident. The belt should be fastened at the back of the backrest of the wheelchair so that
the user is secured to the backrest.
In the case of the perineal straps, pass the lower strap through the perineal area between the thighs. On the back side
of the backrest, join both ends of the abdominal straps by means of a locking system, tightening both straps until the
desired fastening is obtained, then fasten the perineal strap and adjust it.
INDICACIONES DE USO
Indicado para personas con movilidad reducida, usuarios de silla de ruedas y sillón geriátrico, que requieran un extra de
sujeción para evitar caídas y deslizamientos fronto-laterales en posición de sedestación.
Los cinturones se han de ajustar a la anatomía del usuario, de forma que queden lo suficientemente ajustados para que
lo sujeten efectivamente a la silla, pero no demasiado apretados para evitar lesiones o laceraciones.
Para ello, se ha de regular previamente la longitud de las cinchas de sujeción mediante el ajuste móvil de la parte del
cierre del tridente de plástico. El cierre del cinturón se ha de realizar por la parte posterior del respaldo de la silla de
forma que el usuario quede sujeto al mismo.
En el caso de los perineales, pase la cincha inferior por la zona perineal entre los muslos. Por la cara posterior del
respaldo una ambos extremos de las cinchas abdominales mediante sistema de cierre tensando ambas cinchas hasta
obtener la sujeción deseada, seguidamente fije la cincha perineal procediendo a su ajuste.

ROLLSTUHLGURT
Der Bauchgurt bietet maximalen Halt und Sicherheit: Er ist so konzipiert, dass er dem Benutzer eines Rollstuhls, eines
geriatrischen Stuhls oder eines Sessels maximalen Komfort bietet. Er bietet zusätzlichen Halt, um Unfälle und Stürze zu
vermeiden. Er minimiert die Möglichkeit, dass der Patient stürzt und sich Verletzungen zuzieht, kippt oder ausrutscht.
ANWENDUNGSGEBIETE
Geeignet für Personen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität, Rollstuhlfahrer und geriatrische Patienten, die zusätzliche
Unterstützung benötigen, um Stürze und ein Ausrutschen im Sitzen zu verhindern.
Die Gurte müssen an die Anatomie des Benutzers angepasst werden, so dass sie eng genug sind, um den Benutzer
effektiv im Stuhl zu halten, aber nicht zu eng, um Verletzungen oder Schnittwunden zu vermeiden.
Zu diesem Zweck muss die Länge der Befestigungsgurte im Voraus mit Hilfe der beweglichen Einstellung des
Verschlussteils des Kunststoffdreizacks angepasst werden. Der Gurt sollte an der Rückseite der Rückenlehne des
Rollstuhls befestigt werden, damit der Benutzer an der Rückenlehne gesichert ist.
Bei den Dammgurten ist der untere Gurt durch den Dammbereich zwischen den Oberschenkeln zu führen. Verbinden
Sie auf der Rückseite der Rückenlehne die beiden Enden der Bauchgurte mit Hilfe eines Verschlusssystems und ziehen
Sie beide Gurte fest, bis die gewünschte Befestigung erreicht ist; befestigen Sie dann den Dammgurt und stellen Sie ihn
ein.

CEINTURE POUR FAUTEUIL ROULANT
La ceinture abdominale offre un maximum de soutien et de sécurité : elle est conçue pour offrir un maximum de confort
à l'utilisateur d'un fauteuil roulant, d'une chaise gériatrique ou d'un fauteuil. Elle offre un soutien supplémentaire pour
prévenir les accidents et les chutes. Elle minimise les risques de chute et de blessure, de basculement ou de glissement
du patient.
INDICATIONS D'UTILISATION
Convient aux personnes à mobilité réduite, aux utilisateurs de fauteuils roulants et de chaises gériatriques, qui ont
besoin d'un soutien supplémentaire pour prévenir les chutes et les glissements fronto-latéraux en position assise.
Les ceintures doivent être ajustées à l'anatomie de l'utilisateur, de sorte qu'elles soient suffisamment serrées pour
maintenir efficacement l'utilisateur dans le fauteuil, mais pas trop pour éviter les blessures ou les lacérations.
À cette fin, la longueur des sangles de fixation doit être réglée à l'avance au moyen de l'ajustement mobile de la partie
de verrouillage du trident en plastique. La ceinture doit être fixée à l'arrière du dossier du fauteuil roulant de manière à
ce que l'utilisateur soit attaché au dossier.
Dans le cas des sangles périnéales, passez la sangle inférieure dans la zone périnéale entre les cuisses. Sur la face
arrière du dossier, joindre les deux extrémités des sangles abdominales au moyen d'un système de verrouillage, en
serrant les deux sangles jusqu'à obtenir la fixation souhaitée, puis fixer la sangle périnéale et l'ajuster.

CINTURA PER SEDIA A ROTELLE
La cintura addominale offre il massimo sostegno e sicurezza: è progettata per offrire il massimo comfort all'utente di una
sedia a rotelle, di una sedia geriatrica o di una poltrona. Fornisce un sostegno supplementare per prevenire incidenti e
cadute. Riduce al minimo la possibilità che il paziente cada e subisca lesioni, si ribalti o scivoli.
INDICAZIONI PER L'USO
Indicato per persone con mobilità ridotta, utenti di sedie a rotelle e poltrone geriatriche, che necessitano di un supporto
extra per prevenire cadute e scivolamenti fronto-laterali in posizione seduta.
Le cinture devono essere regolate in base all'anatomia dell'utente, in modo che siano sufficientemente strette per tenere
efficacemente l'utente sulla sedia, ma non troppo per evitare lesioni o lacerazioni.
A tal fine, la lunghezza delle cinghie di fissaggio deve essere regolata in anticipo mediante la regolazione mobile della
parte di bloccaggio del tridente di plastica. La cintura deve essere fissata sul retro dello schienale della carrozzina in
modo che l'utente sia assicurato allo schienale.
Nel caso delle cinghie perineali, far passare la cinghia inferiore attraverso l'area perineale tra le cosce. Sul lato
posteriore dello schienale, unire le due estremità delle cinghie addominali mediante un sistema di bloccaggio, stringendo
entrambe le cinghie fino a ottenere il fissaggio desiderato, quindi allacciare la cinghia perineale e regolarla.
