Description
The Drive Medical NRS185007 is an aluminum rehab shower commode on four casters, for the shower, the bedside or over a standard toilet.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Three uses: over a standard toilet, beside the bed with the bucket, or in the shower.
- Padded seat 18 by 17 in (46 by 43 cm) with a removable insert that opens the front.
- Seat height 20 to 22 in (51 to 56 cm), set by leg extensions held with E clips.
- Four 5 in (13 cm) locking casters, locked before transfers.
- Flip-back arms, a 19 in (48 cm) padded back on lock-knob poles, and swing-away footrests.
- Rust-resistant aluminum frame, 35.25 lbs (16 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits someone who needs a commode by the bed, over the toilet or in the shower. Users with limited physical strength should be supervised or assisted.
Choose a bariatric chair over 275 lbs (125 kg), a tilt chair if they cannot stay upright, or a lighter shower-only chair.
Will it fit?
- Measure floor to the back of the knee: the seat sits 20 to 22 in (51 to 56 cm) up.
- Over a toilet, the bowl and tank must sit inside the frame legs; keep the toilet seat down.
- A raised shower curb can stop the 5 in (13 cm) casters.
- Measure the narrowest doorway and the space around the toilet. A free home assessment will measure the bathroom.
Using it day to day
- Assembly: casters into the frame with each E clip through its leg hole, back poles locked with the knobs, bucket under the seat.
- Set the footplate angle with the allen key; fold the footrests up and inward when not in use.
- Push the arms back for a transfer and use them for balance only, not full body weight.
- Wipe the padded seat and back; empty the bucket or use commode liners.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- Capacity 275 lbs (125 kg), for sitting; it is not a step or a standing aid.
- It is a commode and shower chair, not a transport chair.
- Take the cover off the bucket before use.
- It does not fold, so it needs floor space.
- Inspect the frame and fasteners; stop using it if a part is loose, worn or rusted.
- Limited lifetime warranty, casters excluded; see the Warranty tab.
How does it compare?
- 11114KD-1: 300 lbs (136 kg), a 16 in (41 cm) seat, 3 in (8 cm) casters, lighter for shower-only use.
- NRS18010 tilt chair: 300 lbs (136 kg), a 20 in (51 cm) seat, up to 30 degrees of tilt.
- NRS185008 bariatric chair: 500 lbs (227 kg), a 22 in (56 cm) seat, the same 5 in casters.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it as a wheelchair?
No. It is a shower and toileting chair, not a transport chair.
What if an E clip is missing?
Do not use it until the clip is replaced. Each clip must show through its leg hole; call (905) 798-1853.
How do I keep it still during a transfer?
Lock the casters before the person sits or stands, and check they hold.
