A. Selecting the Proper Seating Product
Ki Mobility recommends that you consult with a licensed clinician (i.e. Physician or therapist)
trained in wheelchair seating and positioning before selecting any seating and positioning
product. This will help ensure you receive the right product for your specific needs. Axiom
Seating and Positioning products should only be installed and adjusted by an authorized Ki
Mobility supplier.
B. Become Familiar with this Manual
Before use, you and each person who may assist you, should read this entire owner's manual
and follow all instructions. Review the Warnings often, until they are second nature to you.
C. Check Your Skin Daily
Axiom Seating and Positioning products are designed to improve pressure distribution and
increase sitting tolerance. Whether the product 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.
WARNING: Failure to perform proper skin inspection or continuing to use a seating
product after skin changes are present can affect your skin integrity, resulting in serious
injury or death.
