B. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance may help extend the life of your cushion. You should inspect
your cushion weekly. During cleaning, component inspection is recommended.
1. Check Cover for Tears and Excessive Wear
a. Remove cover and check for abnormalities (inside and out).
b. Check the foam base for breakdown or degradation.
WARNING:
If you find any abnormalities, such as the foam breaking down, discontinue the
use of this product immediately and consult with your authorized Ki Mobility supplier or
clinician. Failure to do so can affect your skin integrity, resulting in serious injury or death.
C. Cleaning
1. Cleaning the Cover
a. Remove the outer cover from the foam base and zip closed.
b. Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry - no heat. Do not iron. Note - Do not dry
clean covers or use industrial washers and dryers to clean cover. Do not steam auto-
clave. Do not bleach.
c. To refit cover after washing, fit cover back over foam base. Ensure the back of the cover
matches up to the back of the foam base. Note - If utilized in an institutional setting,
write the residents name with a permanent marker on the content label of the cover. This
will ensure the return of the correct cover to its matching cushion after washing.
2. Cleaning the Foam Base
a. Remove the outer cover from the foam base and wipe lightly with a damp cloth. Do not
use soap. Do not submerge in water. Wipe off with a clean cloth.
b. Let your cushion completely air-dry before reassembly.
D. Reassembling Your Axiom Cushion After Cleaning
1. After Proper Cleaning and Maintenance
a. Insert the foam base into the cover with the label down and the zipper to the rear of the
cushion.
b. Close the zippers on your cushion ensuring that the zipper-pulls end up closed with the
pull tucked into the zipper pocket cover. Check that the serial and regulatory tags are at
the rear of the foam base.
