1 Medical Device Alert Action Ref: MDA/2009/010 Issued: 16 February 2009 at 10:30 Device All models of Jazzy, Quantum and LX battery powered wheelchairs manufactured by Pride Mobility Ltd. Pride Mobility Jazzy 1121 Pride Quantum 600 Pride LX Problem On some models of Jazzy, Quantum and LX powered wheelchairs the manufacturer has fitted tiedown securement brackets (known as the Transit Securement Package TSP) before delivery and has now issued updated instructions for use. Action by All those involved in the provision, prescription, maintenance and use of these wheelchairs. In particular: wheelchair service managers, rehabilitation engineers, maintenance staff and contractors, occupational therapists and patient transport service managers. CAS deadlines Action underway: 16 March 2009 Action complete: 14 May 2009 Action 1. Trace all models of Jazzy, Quantum and LX powered wheelchairs manufactured by Pride Mobility. 2. Ascertain if the wheelchair has a Transit Securement Package (TSP) fitted (See Appendix I). 3. If the wheelchair has a TSP fitted, obtain new instructions for use from Pride Mobility at and ensure that the user is aware of the revised content. Also, remove any labels from the wheelchairs which state that the user should not remain seated in the mobility device while travelling in a motor vehicle. Contact Manufacturer Mr Craig Sweetlove Pride Mobility Ltd Tel: Fax: craig@pride-mobility.co.uk Page 1 of 7
2 Problem The instructions for use (IFU) issued with all Pride Mobility powered wheelchairs state that they are not intended to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle, although some models were fitted with tiedown securement brackets. These brackets are known as the Transit Securement Package (TSP) (see Appendix I for examples of TSP) and are only available factory-fitted by Pride Mobility. With this package fitted, the wheelchair can be used as a seat in a motor vehicle, provided that an appropriate wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint system (WTORS) is used. Pride Mobility did not make this clear in the IFU provided with wheelchairs fitted with a TSP. Also, Pride Mobility, following fitment of the TSP, have not always removed the labels which state that the user should not remain seated in the mobility device while travelling in a motor vehicle. Some Jazzy and Quantum models also have small metal loops fitted to the seat unit, which do not form part of a TSP and are not intended to be used for tying down an occupied wheelchair in a motor vehicle. These points are only intended for securing an unoccupied wheelchair. Pride Mobility has issued several Field Safety Notices on these subjects, but they do not contain sufficient detail to cover all issues. Pride Mobility has now produced revised IFU for all models with a TSP fitted, but has not been able to trace all users. In addition, Pride Mobility has now produced a powerchair transportation compatibility chart (see Appendix 2). This shows the models of wheelchair which, when fitted with a TSP by Pride Mobility and used in conjunction with an appropriate WTORS, are intended to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle and those that are not.

7 Appendix to MDA/2009/010 Appendix 2 Powerchair transportation compatibility chart Key: When fitted with TSP Blank Space When a Transit Securement Package has been factory-fitted by Pride Mobility before delivery, the wheelchair can be used as a seat in a motor vehicle providing the instructions for use for the wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint system (WTORS) are followed. Note 1: Without a TSP they are not intended to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle and these wheelchairs should be clearly labelled as such. Note 2: Small metal loops on Jazzy and Quantum seat units are not part of a TSP. Models not intended by Pride Mobility to be used as a seat in a motor vehicle as no TSP option is available. These wheelchairs should have a label which states that that the user should not remain seated in the mobility device while travelling in a motor vehicle.
