MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY WARNING:
It is safest to transfer out of your wheelchair and into a manufacturer-installed vehicle seat, and use the vehicle’s
crash-tested occupant restraint system. Failure to use the appropriate equipment for restraint in a vehicle can result in
serious injury or death.
• The ANSI RESNA WC-20 and ISO 16840-4 standards are not considered applicable to individual seating system
components. These standards address complete seating systems consisting of a seating surface and a back support
used together in a specific configuration.
• An 18” wide Icon Tall back support and an 18” wide by 18” deep Evolution
™
seating system were configured onto a
surrogate wheelchair frame and successfully crash tested according to the test specified in ANSI RESNA WC-20.
• A risk assessment should be performed by competent seating professionals in the case that a provider wishes to
configure VARILITE products for use during transportation in a motor vehicle.
CAUTIONS
• The Icon Back Mid and Icon Back Tall are compatible with the VARILITE PAL and Fixed Lateral Supports. If your back
support was configured with lateral thoracic supports (Laterals), see the instructions for use that came with the laterals
for specific safety and operation information.
• To ensure optimal cushion performance and foam integrity, VARILITE recommends that you leave the valve open
and allow your VARILITE back cushion to fully inflate overnight at least once a week. Repeat the “Cushion Setup and
Adjustment” procedure when you are ready to use it again.
