More Details

The cut away section on the bath allows easy leg access, particularly when used with a swivel bath seat. The length of the cut away section on the side of the bath is normally around 500mm to 600mm.

Because the level of water in the bath is reduced to a maximum of 100mm by this modification the bath is also fitted with a bath seat and a hand shower. (Contact the ILC, see ILC web site database or speak to an occupational therapist about these products).

The pictured bath modification has been carried out for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Australia and can lead to significant savings with bathroom redesign for clients with a disability or older clients. A major modification to the entire bathroom is not required.

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.

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.
