• Inspect skin when using this product.
Any redness, bruising, or darker
areas (when compared to normal skin) may indicate the beginning of soft
tissue breakdown and needs to be addressed. If any discoloration does NOT
disappear within 30 minutes after transferring from the product, stop use
and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
• Under-inflation or Over-inflation: DO NOT
use an under-inflated cushion
or an over-inflated cushion. Doing so reduces or eliminates the cushion’s
benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue. If your cushion
appears to be under-inflated or does not appear to be holding air, see
TROUBLESHOOTING.
• Instability and Fall Hazard: DO NOT
use your cushion on top of, or in
conjunction with, any other products or materials, except as indicated in the
Intended Use section. Doing so may add to user instability, resulting in falls.
Consult with your clinician for proper usage.
• Cushion Orientation:
Product must be used with the air cells facing up.
• DO NOT
use your cushion as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver).
WARNINGS
• Keep valve closed
to prevent water from entering cushion.
• Proper Inflation:
The use of any other inflation device other than the
supplied hand pump may damage the cushion and void the warranty.
• Puncture:
Keep your cushion away from sharp objects.
• Heat/Flame: DO NOT
expose your cushion to high heat, open flames or hot
ashes.
• Handling: DO NOT
use any valve as a handle for carrying or pulling your
cushion. Carry your cushion either by the yellow nylon carrying rope or by the
cushion base.
• Solutions: DO NOT
allow oil-based lotions or lanolin to come in contact with
your cushion, as they may degrade the material.
• Ozone Generators:
Prolonged exposure to ozone will degrade materials used
in the manufacture of your product and may affect performance of your product
and void the product warranty.
