1.1 Maintenance / inspection requirements
In this maintenance instructions pamphlet, you’ll find information and advisories on the safe and professional maintenance and/or repair work on the rollator and walker.
The products are Class I medical products as to the 93/42/EEC and the German MPG/Medical Products Act.

As to the requirements of the German MPBetreibV Medical  Products Ordinance, the products must be maintained and the hygiene requirements must be adhered to. Check your local requirements.

The product’s lifetime is in large part affected by how it is used. The frequency of use and manner of use reduces the lifetime as does improper handling and inadequate maintenance.

In order to ensure safe use, a visual inspection and function check must be done at least once per year. Shorter time intervals between maintenance may be necessary when the frequency of use or the condition of the product exists due to safety reasons.

The operator has to carry out the maintenance on his own or must instruct a competent person (specialized supplier, medical supply store, or medical maintenance service) if he has not the needed expertise.

Inspection results must be documented and be confirmed by a signature. The product is recommended with an inspection sticker that states the next inspection. The product operator is responsible for assuring regularly conducted inspections.
