This device should ALWAYS
be snug, but not interfere with breathing
or circulation. After application, slide an
open hand (flat) between the device and
patient to ensure proper fit. ALWAYS
monitor a patient to make sure the
patient is not able to slide down, under
the device, and fall off the chair seat (fig. 1). If a patient’s
body weight becomes suspended off the chair, chest
compression and suffocation could result. Restraints with
a pelvic piece may be necessary to reduce sliding down.
notE: These products are designed for use on full-length arm
wheelchairs or other similarly equipped non-wheelchair
applications.
ApplicAtion instructions:
1. Seat the patient in the chair with the hips resting firmly
against the seat backrest.
2. Put the lap top tray on the armrest, so it doesn’t interfere
with breathing.
3. Secure the lap top tray to the arm rest using the provided
“hook and loop” straps. There are two straps on each side.
Either the front strap, back strap, or both may be used
depending on the patient’s assessment.
4. If necessary, use the strap around the back of the chair to
prevent the tray from being pushed forward.
inDicAtions For usE:
• Patients who require an anterior posture support.
• Patients who require a work area or eating area on their wheelchair or
similar non-wheelchair applications.
• Patients who have poor upper torso alignment and/or need a
firm surface to rest their elbows on.
• DO NOT use on a patient who is or becomes highly aggressive, combative, agitated, or suicidal.
• STOP USE AT ONCE: if the patient is at risk to slide forward or down in the device.
NOTE: A restraint with a pelvic piece will help to reduce the risk of sliding. See Posey Catalog.
• DO NOT use on a patient who is unwilling or unable to follow instructions, and is at risk of a
fall or re-injury from self-release.

uncomfortable; or if it severely limits movement. If symptoms of these problems ever appear
for any reason, get help from a qualified medical authority and find a less restrictive, product or
intervention.
• Product applications considered “self-release” or “assisted-release”
must be specified by the ordering physician.
