PSV
TM
Pressure Setting Valve
The PSV is located on the right side of
VARILITE
cushions. For operation
from the left side, remove the cushion from the cover and rotate the PSV
180
°
. To prevent damage to the valve body, use a 1/2 in. open-end
wrench, open the valve all the way, and place the wrench on the flat
shoulders at the base of the valve body.
A low-slip material is used on the underside of all
VARILITE PSV
cushion covers to prevent the cushion from sliding in the
wheelchair. For extra security, PSV cushion covers have loop sewn to the low-sip material that can be attached to a drop
base or solid seat with adhesive hook (provided).
All
VARILITE PSV
cushions covers accommodate Rigidizers, also know as solid inserts, which are an effective and
inexpensive way to provide the pelvis with a firm, level base of support while promoting an anatomically neutral position.
Solid inserts are available for purchase by calling
VARILITE
Customer Service at 1-(800)-827-4548.
To ensure long life and optimal performance of your VARILITE PSV cushion
:
•
Never leave your
VARILITE PSV
cushion exposed to extreme weather conditions such as heat, cold or UV rays.
•
Check your cushion’s inflation level when you change altitudes. If punctured or if the valve is left open, the cushion will
deflate under pressure. In the unlikely event of a puncture, immediately contact an authorized
VARILITE
dealer or
VARILITE
Customer Service.
•
Never put your
VARILITE PSV
cushion in a washing machine. Your cushion may be wiped with warm water and mild
detergent, and the covers should be washed, with the zipper closed, according to the instructions on the care and use label.
Be sure all components are completely dry before reassembling. Do not autoclave.
•
Your
VARILITE PSV
cushion always should be used with its cover. The cover protects the cushion from punctures, burns and
being soiled, and it enhances pressure distribution and promotes air circulation for healthy tissue.
