FAQ's
Do toilet hoist devices fix to the floor?
Yes, some do. For users that tend to lean to one side, fixing the toilet lift to the floor is a good idea to maintain stability. Users that are unsteady on their feet may also benefit from the added security.
Does an electric toilet seat riser have to return to its lowest position?
No, many models allow the user to stop the lift whenever required. This level of control is particularly beneficial to a user that experiences discomfort or pain when attempting to mount or dismount in the lowest position. Being able to adjust the lift to the needs of the individual user is critical.
What are the maintenance requirements for power-assisted commode seats?
It is a good idea for safety reasons to have your toilet lift-assist inspected annually by a trained technician. The technician will check for any loose fittings, mechanical damage, base area security, and proper operation.
How many lifts does a fully charged battery provide?
The answer is highly dependent upon the brand that you purchase, the weight of the user, and the size of the battery. As the battery ages, it will provide less service between recharges. Many powered toilet lifts offer 60 to 100 lifts between charges.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
Most batteries will charge up within 3 to 6 hours. Many of the chargers installed on power-assisted commode lifts utilize a trickle charge that automatically shuts off when fully charged so that the lift is always ready for service.
How should I clean my commode hoist?
To disinfect, use a soft cloth or sanitizing wipe down with an antibacterial cleaning agent. Use the same concentration level as you would for other domestic surfaces, such as washbasins, countertops, and baths. Lifts should not be cleaned with sprays, solvents, autoclave, Cidex, or Turbex. Clean by hand only.
Will an electric commode riser interfere with a heart pacemaker?
Before purchasing, ensure that the product meets EN55011-1:1998, +A1:1999, +A2:2002, and EN60601-1-2:2001 Group 1 Class B standards for electromagnetic compatibility.
