NOTE: Check all parts from shipping damage. In case of
damage DO NOT use. Contact Carrier/Sunrise for further
instructions.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a
doctor or therapist experienced in seating and positioning
be consulted to determine if a JAY Easy Visco Cushion is
appropriate. Cushions should only be installed by an authorized
Sunrise Medical supplier.

GENERAL WARNINGS!

• DO NOT install this equipment without first reading and
understanding this manual.
• Keep this manual with the product for future reference.
• If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions
and Instructions, contact a qualified clinician or supplier -
otherwise injury or damage may occur.
• Hook and Loop velcro should not come into prolonged
contact with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive
and lead to a failure of the velcro.
• Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center
of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair
to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always
assess for the potential need for antitippers or amputee
axle adapter brackets to be added to the wheelchair to
help increase stability.
• Prior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried for
a few hours at a time while a clinician inspects your skin
to ensure that red pressure spots are not developing.
You should regularly check for skin redness. The clinical
indicator for tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your
skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the cushion
immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
• The JAY Easy Visco Cushion is designed sitting comfort
and postural support, remember no cushion can completely
eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pressure sores.
• If you need more pressure distribution for skin protection,
ask your authorised supplier for a free demonstration of any
of the other Jay cushion products.
• The JAY Easy Visco Cushion is not a substitute for good
skin care including; proper diet, cleanliness, and regular
pressure relief.
• Allow the cushion to warm to room temperature before
using. Sitting on extremely cold or hot surfaces can cause
skin damage.
• Avoid sharp objects or exposure to excessive heat or open
flame.
• OBSTRUCTIONS: Do not place any obstructions
between the user and the cushion because it will reduce
product effectiveness.
• CUSHION AND COVER ORIENTATION: Product must
be used with the cushion cover facing up. If the cover is
not used correctly it may reduce or eliminate the cushion's
benefits and could increase risk to the skin and soft tissue.
JAY Easy Visco Cushion

JAY EASY VISCO

The Easy Visco cushion is designed for high level comfort and
positioning with mild pressure redistribution. It incorporates a
lightweight pre-contoured foam with media/lateral thigh support
and Visco elastic foam in the seat well to allow immersion of
the ischia's (seat bones) and load distribution to the femurs.
The area of the sacral is notched. The outer cover is moisture
resistant with a no-slip bottom to keeping the cushion in place
during daily use and transfers.
Maximum user weight for this product is:
150 kg (330 lbs)
FITTING THE JAY EASY VISCO CUSHION
• Select a Jay Easy Visco Cushion that matches your hip
width.
• The cushion length should extend to within 25 mm - 50
mm, (1"- 2"), from the back of the knees.
• Place the cushion to the back of the chair with the
• material identification tags and Visco elastic foam towards
the rear.
• When fitted correctly, your hips should be to the back of
the chair.
• Your ischials (seat bones) should be centered on the visco
elastic foam in the seat well of the cushion.
• Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort
and help lower peak sitting pressures.
• Adjust the footrests so your legs rest firmly but comfortably
on the cushion.
NOTE:
• Do not use the wheelchair's seat width as a guide in
determining the appropriate cushion width. Improper
cushion fit may be detrimental to the performance of a
pressure distributing cushion and its support of the body.
• Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat
upholstery. Stretched upholstery does not provide
adequate support for the cushion and improper positioning
may result. Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the
Jay adjustable solid seat.
• Avoid using overly stretched backrest upholstery.
Stretched back upholstery does not provide adequate
support for the body and improper positioning may result.
Replace stretched backrest upholstery or purchase a back
support product from Sunrise Medical that is appropriate
for you. Contact an authorized supplier for a free
demonstration of these products.
