HANDCYCLE USER
As a manufacturer of handcycles, Invacare endeavors to supply a handcycle to meet
many needs of the end user. However, final selection of a handcycle to be used by an
individual rests solely with the user and his/her health care professional capable of
making such a selection.
HANDCYCLE TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS
Invacare recommends that handcycle users NOT be transported in vehicles of any
kind while in a handcycle. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not
approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a handcycle, in
a moving vehicle of any type.
As regards restraints - seat positioning straps - it is the obligation of the DME
dealer, therapists and other health care professionals to determine if a seating
positioning strap is required to ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the
user. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a handcycle.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction
with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not
been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
