WARNINGS

Consult a healthcare professional: Physipro
care professional such as a doctor or therapist, experienced in seating and
positioning, be consulted to determine and install the required seating system
and make any necessary adjustments.
Center of gravity: 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. To ensure optimal stability of your wheelchair
after the addition of a new cushion, always assess for the potential need for
anti-tippers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added or adjusted to
increase stability.
Cushion dimensions: The dimensions of the cushion must be adapted to the
user and the wheelchair, if not, the cushion's benefits will be reduced or eliminated.
Cushion and cover compatibility: The cushion cover must be well-fitted and
used as directed in this manual to prevent the formation of skin lesions. An
oversized or undersized cover will reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of the
cushion and can create an unstable surface, which can lead to a fall.
Environment: Avoid exposing foam to fluids or moisture for prolonged periods.
Avoid exposing the cushion to extreme cold or heat. Never place cushion near
open flame.
Instability/Fall risk: Never place other products or materials (except those
specified in this manual) between the user and the cushion or underneath the
cushion, doing so, will cause instability and increase the risk of injury from a fall.
Positioning of cushion: Always refer to the orientation indicators of the
cushion and the cover to properly position cushion on wheelchair. Proper
positioning is essential to ensure maximum comfort and pressure relief.
Skin inspection: Cushion should be tested before prolonged use. To avoid the
appearance of skin redness due to pressure points, Physipro
shifting your weight as frequently as possible and performing a pressure relief
technique at least once every two (2) hours. You should regularly check (at least
once a day) for skin redness especially around bony prominences. If skin redness
or discoloration develops, discontinue use of the cushion. If discoloration does
not disappear within thirty (30) minutes consult a healthcare professional
immediately. Be aware that no cushion can substitute the need for proper skin
hygiene, a balanced diet and frequent position changes.
Transport: Crash tests have not been conducted on these products and even if
the mobility aid in which it is installed has obtained the ISO-717619, it will not
be maintained.

INSTALLATION

Your cushion is assembled according to your specifications before delivery.
Simply position the cushion on the wheelchair, make sure the orientation
indicator marked "Front" on the bottom of the outer cover is placed towards
the front and facing downwards. Make sure the stitches are aligned with the
cushion's edges.
Note: Velcro fasteners are provided for installation on a flat wheelchair seat.
Self-adhesive Velcro strips are attached to two fixed Velcro strips, located
on the bottom side of the cushion's outer cover. To securely fix the cushion
onto the rigid seat pan, remove the protective film of the self adhesive velcro,
position cushion and then press down firmly on the cushion to ensure Velcro
has properly adhered to the seat pan.
