Height adjustable toilet, type 919
Improved accessibility with the EWAC Height Adjustable Toilet
New on the market is the Height Adjustable Toilet developed by EWAC Medical. Using the Height Adjustable Toilet considerably improves the accessibility of the toilet for ALL users.
The toilet can simply be adjusted in height by means of push buttons. The Height Adjustable Toilet can often be used as replacement of a urinal or even a disabled toilet.
Ergonomics in the toilet space
Everywhere we see the use of ergonomic devised products: adjustable car seats, adjustable office equipment and lift systems for patients. Unfortunately ergonomics generally finish the moment we enter the toilet area, although people are not gladly dependent on aid if they must use the toilet.
The height adjustable toilet settles with the restrictions of a toilet for among others seniors, slightly handicapped people, wheel chair users, small children or very tall people. Moreover the Height Adjustable Toilet simplifies the work of the nursing staff and cleaning personnel.
The advantages:
The Height Adjustable Toilet has enormous advantages for users, nursing staff, cleaning personnel and by its excellent design also for the fitter and the technical service, such as:
- Accessibility for seniors and disabled people
- Ergonomics
- Electronic control
- Automatic movement to the lowest level after flushing
- Can be provided with remote control
- Easy maintenance
- Representative design
- Easy to install
- Water saving
The user experiences:
Recovered independence. In many cases no more aid is necessary at seating oneself and standing up because of the smoothly height adjustable Height Adjustable Toilet. Wheel chair users bring the toilet at the same level of their wheel chair with the result that moving from the wheel chair to the toilet is now much easier. Small children can, as the toilet is in the lowest position, seat themselves and therefore need no help anymore.
Unprecedented comfort. The Height Adjustable Toilet can be equipped with every common wall mounted toilet and is more comfortable than a "regular" toilet. Due to the height adjustments, the optional sitting position can be reached by just pushing a button.
Very simple usage. In the wall 2 push buttons have been placed. 1 for normal and 1 for water saving flushing. The Height Adjustable Toilet operates smoothly without jerking by a push button "up" and a push button "down". The Height Adjustable Toilet can be equipped with an ergonomic remote control.
The nursing staff experiences:
Huge time saving. Clients with a light handicap, people who can´t walk well and wheel chair users no longer need to be accompanied to the toilet. Patients, who normally need 2 nurses to go to the toilet, now only need to be accompanied by one nurse.
Excellent ergonomics. Because the movement of standing up is supported by the Height Adjustable Toilet the burden of the back of nursing staff is considerably reduced. With use of a remote control it is possible to move the toilet and support the patient.
Cleaning personnel experiences:
Cleaning without bending over. For cleaning simply move the toilet in the urinal position. The cleaner now no longer needs to bend or sit on his/her knees for cleaning the toilet. With the result of less back and knee injuries.
Enormous progress in hygiene. With "regular" toilets there is much more spray water on the toilet, the toilet seat, the floor and the walls of the toilet space. The toilet space pollutes much less rapidly than at normal toilets because of the urinal position.
The installer experiences:
Easy installation. Installation of the Height Adjustable Toilet is "as easy" as installing every other wall mounted toilet. In comparison with a normal wall mounted toilet a bit more build in space and an electrical ground connection is needed. Furthermore the sewer connection must be at the correct place in the floor. The qualified technician can install the chosen push buttons at every desired place. After installation the Height Adjustable Toilet is directly ready-for-use.
A very representative toilet space. Because of the nice looks and the high-quality finishing of the Height Adjustable Toilet, it is very appealing. The toilet space gets a very professional and representative outlook. In many cases clumsy handles and grips are no longer necessary. The implementation of the Height Adjustable Toilet is appropriate with a variety of bathroom and toilet accessories, so that the style of the space can be coordinated.
The technology behind the Height Adjustable Toilet
Adaptive. The Height Adjustable Toilet is controlled by a microprocessor as a result of which the control can be tailored entirely on the aimed usage. Normally the desired functionality will be considerable different within a nursing institution than at home. Programming is always adaptable afterwards if the application changes.
Safe. The Height Adjustable Toilet has been designed intrinsically safe. Only the going up movement of the toilet is powered. With this it is assured that no pinching off can take place at the descending movement of the toilet. Within the control of the toilet several security procedures have been implemented as a result of which safe operation is secured at all times.
Easy to maintain. The Height Adjustable Toilet is equipped with a control lamp with which the device indicates if there is a need for maintenance. Because of the nature of the apparatus it is necessary the Height Adjustable Toilet is inspected twice a year by a certified maintenance technician. EWAC offers technical services a once-only course of a half-day for maintenance of larger installation numbers.
