D. Check Your Skin Daily
These Axiom Seating and Positioning products are designed to improve pressure distribution and
increase sitting tolerance. Whether the cushion provided will meet your individual needs cannot be
assured in advance. The integrity of your skin can be affected by many aspects of your daily life
and medical condition, including the use of this product. Be sure to follow any skin care regimens
established by your clinician.
Users of this product should make sure their skin is inspected daily for changes. If you see
changes, discontinue the use of this product immediately and consult with your clinician. A key
clinical indicator of tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your skin develops redness, discontinue
the use of this product immediately and consult your clinician. Be especially careful to inspect the
areas related to the bony prominences of the pelvis such as your trochanters and ischial
tuberosities.
WARNING: Failure to perform proper skin inspection or continuing to use a cushion after skin
changes are present can affect your skin integrity, resulting in serious injury or death.
E. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not use or install this cushion without first reading and understanding this
manual. Please contact your authorized Ki Mobility supplier or your clinician if you are unable
to understand the Warnings and Instructions. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING: The adhesive on hook and loop closures (commonly known as "Velcro") may
degrade over time and reduce its ability to secure the cushion. This could cause you to fall
from your wheelchair, resulting in serious injury.
WARNING: The installation of a cushion on a wheelchair could affect the center of gravity of
the wheelchair. Changes in your center of gravity may affect your stability in your wheelchair,
resulting in tipping over or falling from your wheelchair which may result in serious injury.
Always review the instructions for use of your wheelchair to see if changes to the wheelchair
may be needed to provide sufficient stability after adding a cushion.
WARNING: The integrity of your skin can be effected by many aspects of your daily life and
medical condition, including the use of this product. Be sure to follow any skin care regimens
established by your clinician. Consumers of this product should make sure their skin is
inspected routinely for changes as directed by their clinician. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
