General Warning - Jay J3 Manual Del Usuario

ENGLISH
NOTE: Check all parts are free from shipping damage. In
case of damage DO NOT use. Contact Sunrise Medical or
your supplier for further instructions.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a
doctor, therapist or rehab engineer experienced in seating
and positioning be consulted to determine if a J3 Cushion is
appropriate. Cushions should only be installed by:
• an authorized Sunrise Medical supplier
• a qualified healthcare professional who has undergone
appropriate training by either Sunrise Medical or their
approved supplier.

GENERAL WARNING

• Do not install this equipment without first reading and
understanding this manual. If you are unable to understand
the Warnings, Cautions and Instructions, contact a qualified
clinician or supplier - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
• Hook and loop Velcro should not come into prolonged
contact with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive
and lead to a failure of the Velcro.
Introduction
The JAY J3 Cushion is designed for clinicians to use with
clients who are at extremely high risk of skin breakdown.
Designed for superior pressure distribution and stability, the
J3 Cushion offers a high end cushion to meet a large range
of skin protection and positioning needs. The J3 Cushion
has the benefit of skin protection in a comfortable and low-
maintenance design. The J3 incorporates a JAY Flow Fluid
Pad, optional Fluid Inserts, optional PLA (pelvic loading area)
reducer ring, foam base and one of two cover materials.
Maximum User Weight:
• 150 kg on Pelvic Loading Area ring sizes A and B
• 227 kg on Pelvic Loading Area size C
WARNING
• Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the centre
of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair
to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always
assess the potential need for anti-tippers or amputee axle
adapter brackets to be added to the wheelchair to help
increase stability.
• Prior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried for
a few hours at a time while a clinician inspects your skin
to ensure that red pressure spots are not developing.
You should regularly check for skin redness. The clinical
indicator for tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your
skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the cushion
immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
• The J3 cushion is designed to help reduce the incidence
of pressure ulcers. However, no cushion can completely
eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pressure ulcers.
• The J3 cushion is not a substitute for good skin care including
proper diet, cleanliness and regular pressure relieving.

WARNING
• Do not leave the cushion outside overnight at
temperatures below 40° F (5° C). Allow the cushion
to warm to room temperature before using. Sitting on
extremely cold or hot surfaces can cause skin damage.
• Avoid sharp objects or exposure to excessive heat or
open flame.
• PROPER FLUID LEVEL: The amount of fluid contained
in the insert is determined by the clinician during a
seating evaluation. This should not be adjusted without
a clinician directive as it can alter the pressure relieving
properties and lead to injury or damage.
• OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions
between the user and the cushion because it will reduce
product effectiveness.
• CUSHION AND COVER ORIENTATION: Product must
be used with the fluid insert facing up. If the cover is not
used correctly or if the cover is the wrong size, it may
reduce or eliminate the cushion's benefits and could
increase risk to the skin and soft tissue.
Cushion Adjustability
The size of the PLA (pelvic loading area) is adjustable.
Your clinician will determine if a PLA reducer is needed in
your cushion at the time of your evaluation.
Fluid Adjustability
The J3 Cushion offers fluid volume adjustability to
accommodate user's needs through two models the
"Factory Filled" or the "Field Variable Volume" model.
The determination of factory filled or field variable filled
is made by your clinician during evaluation. The insert
should only be changed at the direction of your clinician.
The field variable volume insert has the ability to adjust to
the user's need over time. Your supplier will be involved
in the adjustment once it is determined to be needed for
better clinical efficacy.
Adjusting the "Factory Filled" J3 Cushion
If at any time the volume needs to be modified, Sunrise
Medical or its approved supplier can at no additional
product cost modify the volume to meet current medical
needs. This method of fluid adjustment prevents
unqualified fluid adjustments. This allows the appropriate
fluid amount to be controlled by the appropriate healthcare
provider and prevents the fluid volume from being
manipulated by a patient or caregiver that might place the
patient at a higher risk for skin breakdown.
To modify the fluid volume of the Factory Filled Fluid Pad,
simply contact Customer Services of JAY supplier, or
Sunrise Medical.
Adjusting the "Field Variable Volume" J3 Cushion
The Field Variable Volume version of the J3 Cushion
allows the appropriate healthcare provider to apply a
specified amount of fluid at the time of prescription and
to modify the amount of fluid if needs change through
the use of discreet Fluid Supplement Pads. This method
of adjustment is useful where there is no concern of
unqualified fluid adjustments occurring after prescription.
