INSTRUCTIONS FOR J2 PLUS CUSHION
CAUTION
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 imme-
diately and see your doctor or therapist.
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the centre of gravity of the wheelchair
and may cause the wheelchair to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always
assess for the potential need for anti-tippers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be
added to the wheelchair to help increase stability.
The J2 Plus Cushion is designed to help reduce the incidence of skin breakdown on the
sitting surface. However, no cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or pre-
vent pressure sores. The J2 Plus Cushion is not a substitute for good skin care includ-
ing proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure reliefs.
Do not leave the cushion outside overnight at temperatures below 40° F (5° C). Allow
the cushion to warm to room temperature before using. Sitting on extremely cold or
hot surfaces can cause skin damage.
Never submerge the cushion or any component other than the external cover in any
liquid.
Avoid sharp objects or exposure to excessive heat or open flame.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery. Stretched upholstery
does not provide adequate support for the cushion and improper positioning may
result. Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the J2 Plus Solid Seat Insert.
Avoid using overly stretched backrest upholstery. Stretched back upholstery does not
provide adequate support for the body and improper positioning may result. Replace
stretched backrest upholstery or purchase a back support product from Sunrise that is
appropriate for you. Contact an authorized supplier for a free demonstration of these
products.
When using this cushion with the fluid pad option, the fluid may lose volume over
time. Volume loss in this cushion may result in bottoming out the cushion.
Monthly, during routine cleaning and inspection, check this cushion for bottoming out
(see instructions under “checking for bottoming out” below) and any fluid inconsisten-
cies. If the fluid is firmer in one area simply knead it back to its original consistency.
If the fluid has shifted, this may result in bottoming out. Make sure to move the fluid
so it has even distribution.
