FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO OPERATE THE EVAC+CHAIR®?

For stairway descent the 300H, 500H, 600H and Power 800 require just one operator to guide the chair and the person seated in it down the steps. the EVAC+CHAIR® does 90% of the work itself. It is recommended that when transporting a bariatric patient using the 500H that a second operator helps to guide the chair using the handles located at the front.

CAN THE EVAC+CHAIR® GO UP STAIRS?

Yes. The EVAC+POWER 800/900 is an electric/battery powered stair climber which allows for easy and safe stair ascent and descent. The EVAC+CHAIR® model, 600-H is equipped with front and rear lift handles for this purpose. Our IBEX 700H will go both up and down stairs without any carrying or lifting.

HOW STRONG DOES AN OPERATOR HAVE TO BE TO GUIDE AN EVAC+CHAIR®?

We recommend that attendants initially practice with a person who weighs about their own body weight. Once the physical sense of operation is experienced, and depending upon the operator’s own strength and agility, greater disparities in weight can be handled.

CAN THE PERSON SEATED IN THE CHAIR FALL OUT?

No. He or she is seated within a pocket seat that “cups” the body securely. The rider is strapped in and sits only inches from the incline of the steps. All weight is supported by the stairs, not the straining arms of volunteers.

IS AN EVAC+CHAIR® SUITABLE FOR DOMESTIC USE?

The EVAC+CHAIR® Power 800 and the IBEX can be recommended for use for the disabled at home as they have both ascent and descent functionalities. We would not recommend the 300H, 500H and 600H for this situation (except for the high-rise apartment dweller) because of the varied and non-standard space and stair configurations of the private home.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO USE EVAC+CHAIR®?

By following the instructions that come with the unit (they’re also printed on the seat) the average person should be proficient with someone his or her own weight within 5 minutes. It’s that simple!
