Important Consumer Information
NOTE : This manual contains important instructions that must be passed on to the user of this product. Please do not remove this manual before delivery to the end user.
SUPPLIER: This manual must be given to the user of this product.
USER: Before using this product, read this entire manual and save for future reference.

NOTE : Check all parts from shipping damage. In case of damage DO NOT use. Contact Carrier/Sunrise for further instructions.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doctor or therapist experienced in seating and positioning be consulted to determine if a JAY ZIP 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 contact 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 JAY ZIP cushion is designed to help reduce pressure.
However, no cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pressure sores.
The JAY ZIP cushion is not a substitute for good skin care including; proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure relief.
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.
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.

Maximum user weight: 75kg

FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING CUSHION

Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated position. The cushion length should extend to within 1” – 2” (2.5cm – 5cm) from the back of the knees. Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the material identification tags and pelvic loading area toward the rear. When fit correctly, your hips should be to the back of the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be centered in the rear of the cushion. Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort and help lower peak sitting pressures. Adjust the footrests so your legs rest firmly but comfortably on the cushion.
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 JAY Adjustable Solid Seat.
Avoid using overly stretched backrest upholstery. Stretched back upholstery does not provide adequate support for the body and improper positioning may result. Replace stretched backrest 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.

EASY MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance may help extend the life of your cushion. During cleaning, component inspection is recommended.
Check the cover for tears and excessive wear and or any other abnormalities.
Check the foam base to ensure foam consistency.

To clean cover

Remove the outer cover from the foam base and zip closed.
Machine wash in warm water, (60°C) and drip or tumble dry on low heat.
No ironing required.

CAUTION

Do not dry clean covers or use industrial washers and dryers to clean cover.
Do not steam autoclave.
Do not bleach.
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.
If utilized in an institutional setting, write the resident’s name with a permanent marker on the content label of the covers. This will help to ensure the return of the covers after washing.

To clean foam base:

Remove the cover from the foam base.
Wipe lightly with a damp cloth.
Do not use soap.
Do not submerge in water.
Wipe off with a clean cloth.
Let it completely air-dry before reassembly.
Avoid submersion of the foam base in water.

Hygiene measures when being re-used
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorised/ recommended in your country, for rapid alcohol-based disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which must be disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer’s instructions for the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and back slings to avoid micro- bacterial contamination with active agents according to your local infection protection law.

Conditions for safe storage

Products should be stored in a dry place: at 20 – 75% Relative Humidity.
Protect from direct sunlight and dust for long periods.
Away from direct heat and at a temperature between 5°C (40°F) to 40°C (104°F)
Position and stack the packaged products according to the “this side up” arrows on the packaging.
If a package is high and narrow and therefore potentially unstable, ensure it is well secured on the pallet or in the racking, to prevent it from falling down.
Do not stack anything on top of the packaged products when the “do not stack” mark on the packaging is shown.
Product should never be stored outside and subject to the elements.
