More Details

* Colours are red, black or white
* Make sure the suction cup is clean before sticking it to a smooth, flat surface

Considerations

Using a Spink can prevent spills on desks and other surfaces. It may prevent a drink from spilling on young children.

People with a tremor and/or incoordination may have difficulty locating a drink in the Spink as well as grasping the handle and lifting it out. It could however, act as a safe enclosure / barrier for a person who has difficulty locating and stabilising a drink on a flat surface.

Some people have problems eating or drinking. This is a serious health risk. Signs include difficulty swallowing and chewing foods, coughing when eating or drinking, or food getting stuck in or spilling from the mouth. If you are concerned, visit a speech pathologist or consult your GP.

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
