WARNINGS
Consult a healthcare professional:
Physipro Inc. recommends that a health care professional such as a doctor or
therapist, experienced in seating and positioning, be consulted to determine, and install the required seating
system and make any necessary adjustments.
Center of gravity:
Installing a backrest on a wheelchair may affect the center of gravity of the wheelchair and may
cause the wheelchair to tip backwards, possibly resulting in injury. To ensure optimal stability of your wheelchair
after the addition of a new backrest, always assess for the potential need for anti-tips or amputee axle adapter
brackets to be added or adjusted to increase stability.
Backrest dimensions
: the dimensions of the backrest must be adapted to the user and the wheelchair, if not, the
backrest’s benefits will be reduced or eliminated.
Backrest and cover compatibility:
the backrest cover must be well-fitted and used as directed in this manual to
prevent the formation of skin lesions. An oversized or undersized cover will reduce or eliminate the effectiveness
of the backrest and can reduce stability.
Environment:
Avoid exposing foam to fluids or moisture for prolonged periods. Avoid exposing the backrest to
extreme cold or heat. Never place backrest near open flame.
Instability/ Fall risk:
Never place other products or materials (except those specified in this manual) between the
user and the backrest, doing so, will cause instability and increase the risk of injury from a fall.
Positioning the backrest:
Proper positioning of the adjustable tension straps is essential to ensure maximum
comfort and support.
Skin inspection:
Backrest should be tested before prolonged use. To avoid the appearance of skin redness due to
pressure points, Physipro Inc. 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
cushion. If discoloration does not disappear within thirty (30) minutes consult a healthcare professional
immediately. Be aware that no backrest can substitute the need for proper skin hygiene, a balanced diet and
frequent position changes.
Transport:
Crash tests have not been conducted on these products and even if the mobility aid in which it is
installed has obtained the ISO-717619, it will not be maintained.
