- 136kg Fixed-Height Frame - mobile shower chair rated to 136kg on a lightweight fixed-height powder-coated steel frame; designed for daily wet room use with 2 rear-braked castors providing controlled mobility between the shower position and the transfer point per MHOR 1992 carer technique requirements.
- Removable Armrests - removable armrests allow full bilateral lateral transfer access for hoist or manual carer-assisted transfer; all contact surfaces are wipe-clean and compatible with NHS IPC wet room decontamination protocols between uses per NPSA infection control requirements for shower chairs.
- Fixed vs Adjustable Selection - fixed-height variant in the Alerta mobile shower chair range; selected where OT assessment confirms the standard chair height matches the resident without adjustment; the adjustable equivalent (NCL-ALT-BE004) provides a 44.5-54.5cm height range where individual height configuration is clinically required.

Regulatory Compliance
CQC Regulation 10 (person-centred care) is supported by the mobile shower chair enabling shower-based personal hygiene as the preferred dignified option over bed-bath care. MHOR 1992 is addressed by the braked castor design providing controlled chair positioning during the care episode and the removable armrests enabling direct lateral access for hoist or manual transfer without carer reaching over a fixed obstacle. NHS IPC wet room decontamination requirements are met by the wipe-clean surface specification across all patient contact points.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the fixed-height 434 and the adjustable-height 435?
The fixed-height 434 (NCL-ALT-BE002) is appropriate where OT assessment confirms the standard seat height is correct for the resident and the carer working height. The adjustable 435 (NCL-ALT-BE004, range 44.5-54.5cm) is indicated where OT assessment specifies a height outside the 434 fixed position, or where the chair will be used by residents with varying height requirements. The fixed-height model is simpler to use where adjustment is not clinically required.
Is this shower chair suitable for use in a wet room?
Yes. The lightweight powder-coated steel frame and all wipe-clean surfaces are rated for wet room use. The 2 rear-braked castors should be engaged during showering to prevent chair movement. All contact surfaces should be decontaminated between uses per NHS IPC wet room cleaning protocol, and the removable armrests should be decontaminated separately as patient-contact items.
