CAUTION: Check all parts are free from shipping
damage. In case of damage DO NOT use. Contact HH
Pressure Care or your supplier for further instructions.
Helping Hand Pressure Care recommends that a clinician such
as a doctor, therapist or rehab engineer experienced in seating
and positioning be consulted to determine if the cushion is
appropriate. Cushion should only be installed by:
• an authorised Helping Hand Pressure Care supplier
• a qualified healthcare professional who has undergone
appropriate training by either HH Pressure Care or their
approved 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Please note that no cushion can completely eliminate sitting
pressure.
• If you need more pressure distribution for skin protection, ask
your authorised supplier for a free demonstration of any of the
other JAY cushion products.
• None of the JAY cushions are a substitute for good skin care
including; proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure relief.
• 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.
• 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 cushion cover facing up. If the cover is not used
correctly it may reduce or eliminate the cushion's benefits and
could increase risk to the skin and soft tissue.
