Initial wearing schedule
Prior to prolonged sitting, it is advisable to use your Ride Corbac for a short
period of time and visually check any area that contacts the back support.
Any reddened area should fade within 10-30 minutes. Contact your doctor
or therapist if redness persists for greater than 30 minutes. As long as skin
inspections do not show red areas persisting more than 30 minutes, you are safe
to continue use. Skin checks should be made no less than daily, even after skin
tolerance is established. Continue to perform routine intermittent pressure relief
techniques (forward lean) as advised by your healthcare professional.
WARNINg: If any redness associated with the use of the Corbac persists for
greater than 30 minutes, cease using and contact your therapist or doctor
immediately.
Follow-up

healthcare professional at least annually, or whenever you experience a change
in your weight, posture, or general condition that could impact your ability to sit
safely, comfortably, and functionally.
