4 Introduction The Marina shower trolley is an aid which enables users to wash people who have a poor balance when sitting under flowing water, from an ergonomically sound position. Comfort is optimal for both the occupant and for the care-provider. The Marina consists of a mobile base frame and a height adjustable support surface with a soft mattress. The Marina is multifunctional in its use and interfaces with other aids, such as beds, wheelchairs and shower chairs, lifting equipment and sliding materials such as the EasySlide. The Marina is a product with CE marking. This marking is in accordance with the 93 / 42 / EEC medical equipment guideline. Safety Make sure that the Marina s brake is applied during transfers. When moving the Marina around, do not lift it up or down. Make sure that the side rails are closed when moving the trolley around. Preferably always manoeuvre backwards over any obstacles. Preferably do not move around or manoeuvre with the support surface in its highest position. Always ensure that the electric trolley has been sufficiently charged. The Marina may not be lifted using the upper surface. Should you have any questions, or in the event of defects: please contact Lopital Nederland B.V., service@lopital.nl.

6 Charging The Battery ( ) The Marina is an electrically driven high / low shower trolley and is battery powered. The charging point is positioned on the transverse beam in the trolley s base frame. When the batteries are almost empty, the orange LED on the manual control will light up; this shows that the batteries urgently need to be charged. If the red LED is lit, the batteries have to be charged immediately. The trolley can then no longer be used. Connect the charger to the Marina. Only use the charger originally supplied with the Marina. When the charger is connected to the Marina, the control will be in stand-by mode (all functions will then be switched off). When the indication light on the charger is green, the batteries are fully charged. The charger can remain connected once the batteries have been fully charged. Remove the charger from the socket and disconnect the Marina. The Marina is now ready to use. Battery indication on the manual control LEDs are not illuminated: Green LED is illuminated: Orange LED is illuminated: Red LED is illuminated: the trolley is in stand-by mode and cannot be used. the trolley is ready for operation the batteries have to be urgently charged (the trolley can still be used) the batteries are empty and have to be charged immediately Comment: install the charger in a permanent place in a room that is not damp i.e. not in a bathroom or shower room. Following use, connect the trolley to the charger to ensure the batteries remain charged. Charge the trolley at least once a week! 6 Instructions for use Shower stretcher Marina

7 Activation / Stand-By ( ) Before you can use the Marina, this has to be activated by pressing the up button for 2 seconds. After approximately an hour, the trolley will go into stand-by mode and the battery indication LEDs on the manual control will no longer be illuminated. To reactivate the trolley, press the up button for one second. (Hydraulic) Height Adjustment ( ) When the user is lying on the Marina, first of all apply the brake of the Marina before raising the trolley. The support surface can be raised by calmly and steadily pressing (by foot) the longer part of the foot pedal. When moving the pedal, the care-provider s upper body should be positioned lengthways to the Marina, so that the care-provider is unable to twist his upper body in relation to his feet. When raising the trolley, keep in physical contact with the occupant. By pressing (by foot) the shorter part of the pedal, the trolley will lower.

8 (Electric) Height Adjustment ( ) To raise the Marina press the button on the remote control which depicts the upwards arrow. Lower the Marina by pressing the button on the remote control which depicts the downwards arrow. When the remote control is not in use, this can be hung on the side rail or on the push bar. Make sure that the coiled cable of the remote control does not become trapped. Wheel brake Apply the brake of the Marina by pushing down the protruding lip (1) on the wheel. To release the Marina s brake, push down the raised lip (2) of 2 the wheel. 1 Washing The user is washed in the Marina using a hand-held shower. Because the height of the Marina can be adjusted, the care and washing of the user is improved ergonomically for the care-provider. The height to which the trolley is adjusted depends on the height of the care-provider and of the nature of the activities. When washing the hair, place the cushion beneath the user s shoulders, so that his or her head is not against the trolley, which allows the hair to be washed. After washing the user, the Marina can be used as a drying and dressing table. To this end, raise the support surface of the Marina to a higher position. Water drainage The water from the Marina passes to a drain via the drainage hose. Remove the hose from the hook and trail this to a drainage point that is positioned as low down as possible. During transport always hang the hose on the hook, because of leakage and dripping. 8 Instructions for use Shower stretcher Marina

9 Side rails The Marina is equipped with aluminium side rails that can be folded against the edge of the support surface, so that transfers can be made. The side rail is fitted with rail protection, preventing the occupant from lifting the side rail independently. Before the side rail can be folded down, the rail protection positioned at the head end has to be unlocked. Unlock the protective device by pulling the protruding lip inwards using one hand and lifting the middle of the side rail with the other hand. Turn the unlocked rail outwards, so that the side of the mattress will lie horizontally. When the side rails are folded down, the care-provider is able to support himself against the middle of the mattress enabling even better care of the occupant. Turn the side rail upwards to fold up the side rail. The rail locks automatically. When closing the rail, the mattress flap that has been folded protection Lip for rail down will again stand upright. Make sure that the corner flaps fall inwards, so that these do not become trapped in the rail s locks. Transfer from a bed Lock the bed s wheels. Place the Marina next to the bed with the head end at the side where the user s head is positioned. Lower the bed s side rail. Raise the Marina s support surface just above the mattress of the bed. Fold down the side rail. Slide the Marina between the head and foot end, so that this covers as much of the bed as possible. Lock the Marina s wheels. Go and stand at the opposite end of the bed. Place the EasySlide between the user and the Marina. Shower stretcher Marina Instructions for use 9

10 Using the EasySlide, slide the user from the bed to the Marina. Place the Marina s support surface a few centimetres higher. Close the Marina s side rail. Release the brake from the Marina s wheels. Remove the EasySlide. This transfer from the Marina to the bed is performed similarly. Comments When this transfer is performed, the side of the mattress can be placed facing inwards or outwards according to preference. When folded outwards, the advantage to the user is that he is protected from the tube of the side rail. Make sure that the mattress of the shower trolley does not become trapped between the bed and the Marina s support surface. Maintenance The Marina has to be cleaned following each use using water and normal household cleaning agents. Do not use abrasives or other aggressive solvents (such as chlorine). If the Marina has to be disinfected, we recommend that you use Neoquat combi. Do not use an alcohol-based solution. For optimal and efficient cleaning of the mattress and the support surface, the mattress can be lifted and removed. Remove any surplus soap residues. Make sure that the base on which mattress lies is dry. Frequently check the wheels for hair and dust and remove as appropriate. Make sure that the battery is charged. Lopital Nederland B.V. recommends that an annual maintenance contract is entered into for the Marina. Maintenance and repair should only be performed by authorised personnel. 10 Instructions for use Shower stretcher Marina

13 Comments: For all other defects please contact Lopital Nederland B.V. Telephone Fax Simultaneous use with other aids EasySlide The EasySlide is an optimal aid for the transfer from bed to the shower trolley and vice versa. The EasySlide requires minimum physical load and time. The EasySlide can be used for almost all bed and chair transfers from and to the Marina. Lifting equipment The Marina has been designed for optimal use in combination with a lifting device. From a support surface height of 65 cm, the shower trolley has a clearance space of 130 mm. Wheelchair At the Marina s lower positions of cm, transfer is possible from the shower trolley to a wheelchair and vice versa. An ideal aid with this is the use of the small EasySlide and potentially a sliding board. Bed The Marina is mainly used to wash users whilst they are lying down. Using an EasySlide, users can be transferred in a lying position from any (high or low) bed to the Marina. To do so, the Marina has to be positioned at the same height as the bed.
