RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are specific to the ImmAirsion
TM
insert. However,
it is important to read and comply with the
Recommendations
listed in the user
manual of the accompanying cushion base to ensure safe and optimal use of the
seating system.
Air Pressure:
It is important to readjust air pressure at least once every 10 days
or as needed. Daily verification of air pressure is recommended. Certain changes
in the environment can modify air pressure inside the insert, such as change in
altitude. It is important to verify and adjust air pressure after a change of altitude of
1,000 feet (300 meters) or greater.
Air cell puncture:
To avoid puncture damage, never place insert near sharp objects.
Environment:
If insert is exposed to temperatures lower than 32 ºF (0 ºC) and
presents an unusual stiffness, allow the insert to warm to room temperature. Lightly
rub the insert between your hands (with the valve(s) open) until the material is
suppled. Readjust the air-pressure before use. The insert should be kept away from
heat, direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposing the insert to extreme heat or
open flame. Exposure to OZONE, OIL-BASED LOTIONS or LANOLIN may damage
the neoprene rubber.
Handling:
Never use the insert valve(s) as a handle. To move or carry your cushion,
always lift the base or use the cushion’s outer cover handle.
Insert orientation:
The air cells of the insert must always be facing upwards.
Under/Over-inflation:
Never use an under-inflated or over-inflated insert. An
inadequately inflated insert will diminish or eliminate the performance of your
insert and increase the risk of developing skin lesions.
Skin inspection:
Insert should be tested before prolonged use. To avoid the
appearance of skin redness due to pressure points, Physipro
MC
recommends
shifting your weight as frequently as possible and performing a pressure relief
technique at least once every two (2) hours. You should regularly check (at
least once a day) for skin redness especially around bony prominences. If skin
redness or discoloration develops, discontinue use of the insert. If discoloration
does not disappear within thirty (30) minutes consult a Healthcare professional
immediately. Be aware that no cushion or insert can substitute the need for
proper skin hygiene, a balanced diet and frequent position changes
It is recommended to consult your therapist in the month following the
installation of the ImmAirsion
TM
insert to make sure it is efficient.
