Safe T Mate Wheelchair Anti-rollback Device for Invacare Tracer EX2 and SX5

How SM-014 Works?

• The device consists of left and right mounting bracket / actuators arms. When properly installed, the actuators depress under the weight of the occupied wheelchair seat. This in turn rotates the brake arms off of the tires.
• In this state the wheelchair moves freely in all directions. The brake arms are biased toward engaging the tires (through spring tension) as weight is lifted from the seat. Once engaged, the brake arms prevent the wheels from rotating backward. The chair is still able to move forward in the engaged position. The unit features temporary override handles to assist caregivers in moving the unoccupied chair backward. This device allows the chair to be quickly folded for transport or storage. This device can be used with seat cushions.

• The Safe-t mate Wheelchair Anti-rollback Device is intended as a supplemental attachment and not a replacement for factory installed hand brakes. It is recommended for wheelchair users with poor safety awareness who forget to set the manual hand brakes before exiting or entering the wheelchair. This device may also be appropriate for use with higher functioning individuals to assist in activities of daily living.
