a. Ensure hips are placed squarely in the back of the wheelchair and cushion as
directed by your authorized Ki Mobility supplier or your clinician.
b. Ensure your footrests are adjusted to the proper height, as directed by your autho-
rized Ki Mobility supplier or your clinician.

ture, as directed by your authorized Ki Mobility supplier or your clinician.
WARNING: Failure to ensure that the wheelchair is properly adjusted for use with the
cushion can affect your skin integrity, resulting in serious injury or death.
B. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance may help extend the life of your cushion. You should
inspect your cushion weekly. During cleaning, component inspection is recommended.
1. Check Cover for Tears and Excessive Wear
a. Remove cover and check for abnormalities (inside and out).
b. Check the foam base for breakdown or degradation.
c. If the cushion is the SP Fluid, inspect the fluid bladder for tears or punctures. Inspect
the area around the bladder and the cover for the presence of a thick, white fluid
which will indicate the presence of a leak.
WARNING: If you find any abnormalities, such as the foam breaking down or leaking
fluid, discontinue the use of this product immediately and consult with your authorized
Ki Mobility supplier or clinician. Failure to do so can affect your skin integrity, resulting in
serious injury or death.
C. Cleaning
1. Cleaning the Covers
a. Remove the inner and outer cover from the foam base and zip closed.
b. Machine wash in hot water and tumble dry - no heat. Do not iron. Note - Do not dry
clean covers or use industrial washers and dryers to clean cover. Do not steam auto-
clave. Do not bleach.
c. To refit cover after washing, fit cover back over 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 residents name with a permanent marker on the content label of the
cover. This will ensure the return of the correct cover to its matching cushion after
washing.
2. Cleaning the Foam Base
a. Remove the outer cover from the foam base and wipe lightly with a damp cloth. Do
not use soap. Do not submerge in water. Wipe off with a clean cloth.
b. Let your cushion completely air-dry before reassembly.
