GENERAL WARNINGS
NOTE - Check all parts for shipping damage. In case of
damage, DO NOT use. Contact Carrier/Sunrise for
further instructions.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a
doctor or therapist experienced in seating and positioning
be consulted to determine if a Syncra cushion is appropriate.
Cushions should only be installed by an authorized Sunrise
Medical Dealer.
DO NOT install this equipment without first reading and
understanding the manual. If you are unable to understand
the Warnings, Cautions, and Instructions, contact a
qualified clinician or supplier - otherwise injury or damage
may occur.
Hook and Loop Velcro should not come into prolonged
contact with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive
and lead to a failure of the Velcro.
WARNING
WARNING
Prior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried for
a few hours at a time while a clinician inspects your skin
to ensure that red pressure spots are not developing.
You should regularly check for skin redness. The clinical
indicator for tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your
skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the cushion
immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
The JAY
Syncra Cushion is designed to help reduce
pressure. However, no cushion can completely eliminate
sitting pressure or prevent pressure sores. The Syncra
Cushion is not a substitute for good skin care including,
but not limited to; proper diet, cleanliness and regular
pressure reliefs.
WARNING
WARNING
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center
of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair
to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always
assess for the brackets to be added to the wheelchair to
help increase stability.
DO NOT leave the fluid cushion outside overnight at
temperatures below 40 F (5 C) or above 108 F (42
C). Allow the cushion to warm or cool to room
temperature before using. Sitting on extremely hot or
cold surfaces can cause skin damage.
CAUTION - AVOID SHARP OBJECTS OR EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE HEAT OR OPEN FLAME.
PROPER Fluid Level: The amount of fluid contained in
the insert is determined by the clinician during a
seating evaluation. This should not be adjusted
without a clinician directive as it can alter the pressure
relieving properties and lead to injury or damage.
OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions
between the user and the cushion as this will reduce
product effectiveness.
CUSHION AND COVER ORIENTATION: Product
must be used with the fluid insert facing up. If the
cover is not used correctly it may reduct or eliminate
the cushion's benefits and could increase risk to the
skin and soft tissue.
ROHO DRY FLOATATION Pad: refer to applicable
warnings in the ROHO DRY FLOATATION Pad
Supplement.
