WARNINGS (Risk of possible injury or other serious adverse reactions)
• Ensure that you feel completely confident to use the Bathing Cushion either on your own or
with assistance if required. You may be at risk of drowning or injury if you are uncertain or not
confident in using the Bathing Cushion or if a medical condition prevents you from using the
Bathing Cushion as laid out in these instructions. If you have any concerns about an existing
medical condition affecting your ability to safely operate the Bathing Cushion, consult a health
professional.
• The independence that the Bathing Cushion provides does not negate the need to ensure that
adequate assistance is on hand in case it is required. It is advisable that a telephone or other
means of communication is taken into the bathroom when bathing without assistance. As with
all mechanical and electrical devices, unforeseen breakdowns can occur and so whilst in the
unlikely event that there is a malfunction of the Bathing Cushion, a method of summoning
adequate assistance should be available.
• Do not operate the Airflo compressor in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures with
air, oxygen or nitrous oxide, as these mixtures can create a combustible environment leading
to the potential for fire or even an explosion in the presence of a spark.
• Do not use the Bathing Cushion if under the influence of alcohol or if taking medication which
may affect your ability to exercise judgment, coordination or motor control.
• The Bathing Cushion should only be used as a bathing aid, NEVER use it out of a bath. NEVER
use the Bathing Cushion to climb in or out of the bath. NEVER use it as a step, stand or as a
device for lifting items.
• Do not use the Bathing Cushion as a support to steady yourself when cleaning the bath or
when reaching into the bath to retrieve items, as doing so may place an uneven or unbalanced
load on the Bathing Cushion causing it to become unstable.
• The Bathing Cushion should only be used for its stated purpose and should not be modified in
any way.
• Ensure that when in use, the Airflo compressor, the hand control lead and air hose are laid out
in such a way as to avoid any risk of tripping or strangulation.
• Do not allow children to play with the Bathing Cushion or Airflo as operation of the equipment
in an uncontrolled or unsupervised situation may lead to personal injury and/or damage.
• To avoid personal injury during use and/or damage to the equipment, keep animals away from
the Bathing Cushion and Airflo compressor.
• Before each use, ensure that there are no obvious signs of damage or lose suction cups. If in
doubt, do not use and seek advice from your supplier.
