IV. WARNINGS
C. Seating
WARNING: The installation of a cushion or backrest on a wheelchair could affect the
center of gravity of the wheelchair. Changes in your center of gravity may affect your
stability in your wheelchair, resulting in tipping over or falling from your wheelchair which
may result in serious injury. Always review the instructions for use of your wheelchair to
see if changes to the wheelchair may be needed to provide sufficient stability after adding
a cushion.
• The integrity of your skin can be affected by many aspects of your daily life and medical
condition, including the use of this product. Be sure to follow any skin care regimens
established by your clinician. Consumers of this product should make sure their skin is
inspected routinely for changes as directed by their clinician. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death.
Selecting the Proper Seating Product
Ki Mobility recommends that you consult with a licensed clinician (i.e. Physician or
therapist) trained in wheelchair seating and positioning before selecting any seating and
positioning product. This will help ensure you receive the right product for your specific
needs.
D. Positioning Belts
WARNING: Never leave a user who cannot maintain their own seated posture unattended
when using positioning belts or harnesses. The user may slide down and become
entangled in the belt or harness which may result in severe injury or death.
Positioning belts are designed to assist with proper positioning within the wheelchair. They are
not designed as seat belts. Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the user’s posture.
Misuse of positioning belts may result in severe injury or death.
• Ensure the user does not slide underneath the positioning belt in the wheelchair seat. If
this occurs, the user’s breathing may be hampered causing death or serious injury.
• The positioning belt should have a snug fit; tight enough to hold position, but not so tight
as to restrict breathing. You should be able to slide your hand between the positioning
belt and the user.
• NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
b. On a user who is unconscious.
c. As an occupant restraint in a motor vehicle. A positioning belt is not designed to
replace a seat belt that is attached to the frame of a vehicle, which would be required of
an effective seat belt. During a sudden stop, with the force of the stop, the user would
be thrown forward. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belts or straps.
