Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doc-
tor or therapist 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.
GENERAL WARNINGS
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 con-
tact with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive and
lead to a failure of the velcro.
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center of
gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair to
tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always assess
for the potential need for antitippers 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 pressure. However, no
cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pressure
sores. The J3 cushion is not a substitute for good skin care including;
proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure reliefs.

OPEN FLAME.
PROPER Fluid Level: The amount of fluid contained in the

tive 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

used with the fluid insert facing up. If the cover is not used
