Description
CAUTION: Grab Bar is to be used as a balance assist only. It is not intended to support body weight, and body weight should not be applied to grab bar. (If a device is required to bear any body weight, or is used for leverage, it is recommended that a traditional, permanently mounted grab bar be installed.) Before each and every use, make sure grab bar is securely attached. If it can be moved or feels at all loose, flip up the latches and reattach in accordance with these instructions. Ensure that reattachment is secure before use.
Title: "Drive Medical - Suction Cup Grab Bar (DM)"
Transcript:
[A man in green shirt and blue jeans appears in a bathroom with suction cup bar on his right.]
Hi, I'm Marcus. You know, for the elderly or those with disabilities or injuries, even a simple thing like getting in and out of a tub or shower can be a challenge.
The Drive Medical Suction Cup Grab Bar can help. It provides balance assistance, security, and the convenience of mobility, perfect for the bathroom, which is where the greatest number of household falls occur.
[The man shows how to put the suction cup bar on the tiles of the wall and how to remove it.]
The bar comes in a variety of sizes to fit your lifestyle. It attaches and removes easily in just seconds; drilling holes is not required for installation. In fact, you don't need any tools or adhesives.
[The man holds the suction cup bar in his hand and shows it from different angles.]
Here's how it works:
[The man shows a smooth solid surface with his left hand.]
Start with any smooth, solid surface, such as ceramic, marble, or porcelain.
[The man shows how to make the vacuum levers loose and places the rubber disk on the smooth surface.]
First, make sure these vacuum levers are loose. Press the rubber disk to the surface and make sure the disks are not covering any cracks, joints, or grouting lines.
[The man is pressing down the levers of the suction cup bar.]
Now, press down on one tilting lever like this, then the other one.
[The man shows how the indicator level changes from red to green.]
The indicator on the side of the suction cup will change from red to green to show that you've got the proper suction and a safe and secure hold.
[The man holds the suction cup bar tightly with his left hand and tries to pull it and it doesn't come off.]
You'll get a feel for the vacuum strength once you've used it on a regular basis.
[Picture showing both the indicators as green.]
When both indicators are green, you're ready to use the bar for balance assist. It's not intended for full-body support, and releasing it is a snap.
[The man shows how to release both the latches and removes the suction cup bar from the wall.]
Just release both latches like this and slide your fingertips under the rubber suction cups to break the seal.
[The man holds the suction cup bar and puts it in a black bag]
