An experienced clinician should determine whether the product is appropriate for the
individual's particular equipment needs. The product's intended use statement alone should
not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall
care regimen that includes all therapeutic equipment and interventions. An experienced
clinician should identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual's physical needs and
overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the
need for caregiver assistance or the need for other assistive technology, such as large-print
instructions, to ensure proper product use.

Important Safety Information

Warnings:
- Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual.
Check skin frequently, at least once a day. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when
compared to normal skin) may indicate superficial or deep tissue injury and should be
addressed. If there is any discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the
discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse, immediately consult a
clinician.
- DO NOT use an under-inflated or over-inflated cushioning device because the product
benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin and other soft
tissue. If the cushioning device does not appear to be holding air, or if you are not able to
inflate or deflate the cushioning device, see "Troubleshooting". Immediately contact the
clinical caregiver, distributor, or Customer Support if the problem persists.
