  Assembly, Installation and Operating Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damage. In case of

damage, DO NOT use. Contact Carrier/Invacare for fur-

ther instructions.

SAFETY SUMMARY

The following recommendations are made for the safe

and proper installation and use of the Infinity AirFlo:

GENERAL WARNINGS

DO NOT install this equipment without first read-
ing and understanding this instruction sheet. If you
are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions
and Instructions, contact a qualified technician
before attempting to install this equipment - oth-
erwise, injury or damage may occur.

Care should be taken to prevent the hook and
loop fasteners from becoming wet. Prolonged
contact with moisture may reduce the hold of
the hook and loop fasteners.

 INSTALLATION WARNINGS

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BE-
FORE use, make sure that all attaching hardware
is tightened securely.

USER WARNINGS

Skin condition should be checked very frequently
after the installation of any new seat.

Care should be taken to ensure that the Infinity
AirFlo is properly inflated. Over-inflation will not
allow the body to sink deeply enough into the
cushion and proper body weight distribution will
not be achieved. Under-inflation may result in the
user “bottoming out” onto the cushion base.

The Infinity AirFlo should be checked daily to de-
termine whether the inflation level is correct.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores

is to understand their causes and your role in a skin man-

agement program.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you

have questions regarding individual limitations and needs.
All seating should be selected carefully. Working with your

therapist, and physician is the best way to assure that a

seating choice matches your individual needs.

As the needs of the individual become more complex,

the seating evaluation becomes more important.

INTRODUCTION

Infinity AirFlo

The Infinity AirFlo is designed to provide continuous, flex-

ible support by allowing the body to sink into the air-filled

cells. By doing so, it provides pelvic stability, leg position-

ing and pressure management.

AirFlo Insert

The AirFlo insert is made from a fire resistant, neoprene,

multicelled air bladder. The cells are constructed individu-

ally to move independently of each other. This allows the

body to sink into each cell as needed

Outer/Inner Covers

The top layer of the outer cover is made from a highly

elastic nylon spandex material. The sides are fabricated

with a durable nylon fabric. The bottom is fabricated from

a heavyweight, waterproof, non-skid fabric.
An inner water repellant cover is provided for protection

of the foam. Regular cleaning and inspection of the inner

and outer covers is recommended. Refer to INSPEC-

TION/CLEANING

 

in this instruction sheet.

ATTACHING/REMOVING SEAT TO/
FROM SEATING SURFACE (FIGURE 1)

NOTE: To remove the seat from a seating surface, re-

verse the following procedures.
NOTE: The seating surface can be one (1) of the follow-

ing: Seat upholstery, drop base or seat pan.
NOTE: The zipper on the seat should always face rearward.
NOTE: There are double sided hook attachment strips

attached to the loop attachment strips on the BOTTOM

of the Infinity AirFlo. Depending on the seating surface

the Infinity AirFlo is to be used on, the double sided hook

fasteners will either be left in place OR removed.

1. Position the accessory bag so that it is hanging in

FRONT of the seat.

NOTE: If the accessory bag is empty, it may be folded under

the seat, and attached with the hook and loop fasteners.
