Initial wearing schedule

                    

Prior to prolonged sitting, you should use your Ride Decaf Back for a short period 

of time and visually check any area that contacts the back support. Any reddened 

area should fade within 10-30 minutes. Contact your doctor or therapist if redness 

persists for longer than 30 minutes. As long as skin inspections do not show red 

areas persisting more than 30 minutes, you are safe to continue use. Make a 

careful skin check at least daily, even after skin tolerance is established. Continue 

to perform routine intermittent pressure relief techniques (forward lean) as advised 

by your healthcare professional.

                    

WARNING: If any redness associated with the use of the Decaf Back persists 

for longer than 30 minutes, cease using and contact your therapist or doctor 

immediately.

Follow-up

                    

We recommend you have your seated posture and skin integrity checked by your 

healthcare professional at least annually, or whenever you experience a change 

in your weight, posture, or general condition that could impact your ability to sit 

safely, comfortably, and functionally.

                    

Retighten all of the fasteners regularly, and periodically check the hardware for 

security and wear.
