E. Check Your Skin Daily
These Axiom Seating and Positioning products are designed to improve pressure distribution
and increase sitting tolerance. Whether the cushion provided will meet your individual needs
cannot be assured in advance. The integrity of your skin can be affected by many aspects of
your daily life and medical condition, including the use of this product. Be sure to follow any
skin care regimens established by your clinician.
Users of this product should make sure their skin is inspected daily for changes. If you see
changes, discontinue the use of this product immediately and consult with your clinician. A
key clinical indicator of tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your skin develops redness,
discontinue the use of this product immediately and consult your clinician. Be especially
careful to inspect the areas related to the bony prominences of the pelvis such as your
trochanters and ischial tuberosities.
WARNING: Failure to perform proper skin inspection or continuing to use a cushion
after skin changes are present can affect your skin integrity, resulting in serious injury or
death.
F. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not use or install this cushion without first reading and understanding
this manual. Please contact your authorized Ki Mobility supplier or your clinician if you
are unable to understand the Warnings and Instructions. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING: The adhesive on hook and loop closures (commonly known as "Velcro") may
degrade over time and reduce its ability to secure the cushion. This could cause you to
fall from your wheelchair, resulting in serious injury.
WARNING: The installation of a cushion on a wheelchair could affect the center of
gravity of the wheelchair. Changes in your center of gravity may affect your stability in
your wheelchair, resulting in tipping over or falling from your wheelchair which may
result in serious injury. Always review the instructions for use of your wheelchair to see if
changes to the wheelchair may be needed to provide sufficient stability after adding a
cushion.
WARNING: The integrity of your skin can be effected by many aspects of your daily life
and medical condition, including the use of this product. Be sure to follow any skin care
regimens established by your clinician. Consumers of this product should make sure
their skin is inspected routinely for changes as directed by their clinician. Failure to do
so could result in serious injury or death.
