The Guardian® Aspire is
Sunrise Medical's response to the call for a smaller, lighter, more
maneuverable mid-wheel drive chair. With two base sizes (mini and full),
two controller types (programmable and non-programmable), four shroud
colors, special "Overland Suspension" and a compact footprint, the
Guardian Aspire stands apart as a comfortable, maneuverable, stylish
alternative to many chairs in today's mid-wheel drive market.
Outdoor
Performance
An independent all-wheel suspension and a 3-bar linkage system are
integral parts of the Guardian Aspire "Overland Suspension". This
system helps smooth curb-impact, prevents hi-centering, and dampens
the rebound on today's rugged street terrain. The Guardian Aspire is
also one of the fastest chairs in its class.
Ease of
Use
The Guardian Aspire features one of the smallest footprints in the
industry for a mid-wheel drive chair. This means that the Aspire can
maneuver in tight confined living quarters and fit into tight
storage spaces that larger mid-wheel drive chairs are unable to
manage.
Serviceability
Access to the battery box and charger is quick, easy and requires no
tools. The batteries can be accessed in a matter of seconds.
Adjustments, such as seat height and footplate height, can all be
accomplished on location without service equipment.
Style,
Comfort, and Fit
Four colors of shrouds ship with each chair so that color changes
can be made on a whim. All-wheel suspension, a large padded
captain's seat, removable side shrouds, easy to reach on-board
charger and quick, tool-free adjustments are some of the other
features that make the Guardian Aspire comfortable and easy to fit.
Readi-align
caster attachment is available as an option. This feature bolts onto
the caster fork. If the chair approaches a curb at a sharp angle,
the readi-align caster attachment helps re-square the caster wheel
so it rides up over the curb at a perpendicular angle.
The onboard
battery charger plugs into the front of the chair just under the
seat. This convenient location allows the user to plug in the
charger without leaving the chair.
The Guardian
Aspire features a true center-wheel drive design. By positioning the
drive axle directly under the user, the chair is able to turn in
place. This also makes driving the chair much more intuitive.
Optional
swing-away footrests and legrests are available to meet a variety of
rehab needs.
The Guardian
Aspire features a programmable controller. The user can program up
to five different profiles for various driving scenarios.
The Guardian
Aspire is divided into four chair groupings: the M10, a mini-size
model designed for K0010 HCPCS coding; the F10, a full-size model
designed for K0010 HCPCS coding; the M11, a mini-size model designed
for K0011 HCPCS coding; the F11, a full-size model designed for
K0011 HCPCS coding.
