Jay J2 User Manual

A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CUSHION
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doctor
or therapist experienced in seating and positioning be
consulted to determine if a JAY Cushion is appropriate for your
specific needs. Cushions should only be installed by an
authorized Sunrise Medical supplier.
B. CHECK SITTING PRESSURE OFTEN
Your JAY cushion was designed for sitting comfort and postural
support. Users should inspect their skin daily for redness. The
clinical indicator of tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your
skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the cushion
immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this cushion, you and each person who may assist
you, should read this entire Manual and make sure to follow all
instructions. Review the Warnings often, until they are second
nature to you.
D. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that
may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons.
E. GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
Do not install this equipment without first reading and
understanding this manual. If you are unable to understand
the Warnings, Cautions, and/or Instructions, contact a qualified
clinician or supplier - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
WARNING
Hook and loop Velcro® should not come into prolonged
contact with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive and
lead to a failure of the Velcro® to hold the cushion in place.
WARNING
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center of
gravity of the wheelchair. Installed incorrectly, it may cause the
wheelchair to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury.
Always assess if the addition of anti-tips, and/or an amputee
axle adapter brackets may be needed to help increase stability
after adding a cushion.
WARNING
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.
ENGLISH
NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
WARNING
Your JAY cushion is designed to help reduce pressure. However,
no cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent
pressure sores. The JAY cushion is not a substitute for good skin
care including, proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure
relief. Be sure that the Velcro® is engaged and able to hold the
cushion in place.
WARNING
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery.
Stretched upholstery does not provide adequate support for the
cushion and improper positioning may result. Replace stretched
upholstery or purchase the J2 Deep Contour Solid Seat Insert or
order the J2 Deep Contour Cushion with the Solid Drop Seat.
The Solid Drop Seat Option is attached to the cushion for a one
piece design that replaces the wheelchair's seat upholstery.
WARNING
Avoid using overly Stretched back rest upholstery. Stretched
back upholstery does not provide adequate support for the body
and improper positioning may result. Replace stretched back
rest upholstery or purchase a back support product from Sunrise
that is appropriate for you. Contact an authorized supplier for a
free demonstration of these products.
F. PROTECTING YOUR CUSHION
WARNING
Always avoid exposing your cushion to sharp
objects, excessive heat or open flame, and prolonged
exposure to environmental conditions like freezing
temperatures and/or direct sunlight.
Do not leave the cushion outside overnight at temperatures
below 40°F (5°C). Allow the cushion to warm to room
temperature before using. Sitting on extremely cold or hot
surfaces can cause skin damage.
G. OBSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Make sure that there are never any obstructions between
you and your cushion. Any obstruction will reduce product
effectiveness and/or produce unnecessary pressure points
for the user.
H. COVER ORIENTATION
WARNING
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 the risk of skin
and soft tissue injuries.
