IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS:
- Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors,
which vary by individual. Check skin frequently, at least once a day.
Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin) may
indicate superficial or deep tissue injury and needs to be addressed.
If there is any discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately.
If the discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse,
immediately consult a healthcare professional.
- DO NOT use your cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other
products or materials, except as indicated in this manual. Using non-
compatible products or materials, whether inside or outside the cover: 1)
may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion, increasing the risk
to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to become
unstable and vulnerable to falling.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion. The
cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used
as directed in this manual. Except for the compatible covers listed in
“Product Specifications” in this manual, placement of any items between
the individual and the cushion: 1) may reduce or eliminate the benefits
of the cushion, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2)
may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
- DO NOT use this cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a Life
Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature.
Take appropriate precautions, especially when the cushion will contact
unprotected skin.
- DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames, or hot ashes.
Testing or certification claims, including for flammability, may no
longer apply to this device when it is combined with other products or
materials. Check testing and certification claims for all products used in
combination with this device.
- Periodically, check components for wear and damage, and replace if
necessary. See “Troubleshooting”.
- If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek
assistance by contacting your clinician, equipment provider, distributor,
or Customer Support.
