Field Tip

Based on my 20 years of field experience, I must point out that one of the most overlooked details in patient transfer devices is the regular inspection of the wheels. Periodically cleaning and lubricating the rear wheel brake mechanisms and the swivel (rotation) mechanisms of the front wheels not only extends their lifespan but also prevents sudden jamming, thereby increasing transfer safety. Remember, a little maintenance makes a big difference!

Restrictions and Important Notes

The Respirox RTS-01 is not suitable for individuals requiring a daily and long-term independent wheelchair. It is designed only for short-distance transfers with an attendant. It is not suitable for use on highly uneven terrain or for climbing stairs. Before use, ensure that all parts of the product are correctly assembled and that the brakes are functioning. The given 46 mm width may refer to a specific component of the product or its folded dimensions; for general seating width, please check more detailed manufacturer information.
