More Details

Armrests
* Tubular stainless steel or tubular powder coated steel
* Armrests extend vertically from the front of the toilet and then run horizontally along either side of the pan
* The rear back support section is curved and joins with both sides

Frame
* The grabrail arms are attached via a back plate. The back plate screws in under the rear of the toilet seat using the existing toilet screws where required
* Large bolts with rubber caps are tightened to stabilise the toilet support at the sides of the toilet. These should be firm, but not tightened so much that it may crack the toilet pan

Accessories
* Lap seat belt with buckle or hook and loop fastening
* Enclosed and removable padded back support
* Fold up step for children or those of smaller stature
* Folding toilet seat lid
* Padded armrest covers
* Safety alert. Emergency buttons can be fitted to Throne rails
* Spacer to raise seat height

Considerations

* The rear section can provide extra support for those with reduced sitting balance
* The armrests can provide a raised surface from which to push up from and assist transfers for those who find it difficult
* The rounded front section can provide two heights to hold and stabilize during transfers
* Able to be used with some raised toilet seats
* A toilet seat lid that is hinged down the middle is optional, and allows the lid to be moved past the rear section of the back support
* These rails would impede a side transfer

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate. For more information about standards also see

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.
