FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING CUSHION

Fitting the cushion:
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated
position.
The cushion length should extend to within 1" - 2" (2.5 cm -
5 cm) from the back of the knees. Place the cushion to the
back of the wheelchair with the material identification tags and
pressure relieving pad toward the rear. When fitted correctly,
your hips should be to the back of the chair. Your ischials (seat
bones) should be centered on the insert in the pelvic loading
area of the cushion.
Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort and
help lower peak sitting pressures . Adjust the footrests so your
legs rest firmly but comfortably on the cushion.
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 JAY Adjustable Solid Seat.
Reference the ROHO® DRY FLOATATION® Pad Owner's
Manual Supplement for proper fitting and set-up instructions.

EASY MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance may help extend the
Air Bladder
life of your cushion. During cleaning, component inspection is
recommended.
Check the cover for tears and excessive wear and replace if
ripped, torn, or otherwise not fully functional. Inspect the fluid
pad for punctures or any other abnormalities.
Check the foam base to ensure foam consistency. While
checking the fluid pad if you ever feel the fluid is firmer in one
area, simply knead the fluid back to its original consistency and/
or call your local authorized supplier.
To clean cover:
• Remove the cover from the foam base and turn inside out.
• Machine wash in warm water (60 °C) and drip or tumble
dry on low heat.
• No ironing required.
CAUTION!
• Do not dry clean covers or use industrial washers and
dryers to clean cover. Do not steam autoclave.
• Do not bleach.
To refit cover after washing:
• Reinstall the cover on the foam base.
• Ensure the back of the cover matches up to the back of the
foam base.
NOTE: If utilized in an institutional setting, write the resident's
name with a permanent marker on the content label of the
covers. This will help to ensure the return of the covers after
washing.
Use only JAY-designed covers on JAY cushions. The cover is
an important part of allowing the immersion into the fluid insert
which redistributes the pressure. Changing the cover will alter
this design and its efficacy.
To clean foam base:
Remove the cover, fluid pad, and inner cover from the foam
base.
CAUTION!
Avoid submersion of the foam base in water.
• Wipe lightly with a damp cloth.
• Do not use soap.
• Do not submerge in water.
• Wipe off with a clean cloth, let it completely air-dry before
reassembly.
• Reinstall the cover over foam base.
• Ensure the back of the cover matches up to the back of the
foam base.
