Safety Information

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 Foam 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 Foam Cushion is designed sitting comfort and postural support, remember no cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pressure sores.
If you need more pressure distribution for skin protection, ask your authorized supplier for a free demonstration of any of the other JAY cushion products.
The JAY Foam Cushion is not 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.

INTRODUCTION AND FITTING

INTRODUCTION

The JAY Foam Cushion is designed for sitting comfort and postural support.

The intended lifetime of this product is 5 years.
Maximum user weight: 150 kg

FITTING THE JAY FOAM CUSHION

Select a JAY Foam cushion that matches the width of your wheelchair.
The cushion length should extend to within 1” – 2” (2.5 – 5cm) from the back of the knees.
Place the cushion to the back of the chair with the material identification tags to the back and the bump towards the front.
The product label should be visible on the right side of the cushion.
Adjust the footrests so your legs rest comfortably on the cushion.
Lowering the footrests on your wheelchair may help reduce the pressure on your ischials, (seat bones) and coccyx, (tailbone).

NOTE:

Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery. Replace stretched seat upholstery or purchase a JAY solid seat insert for your cushion.
Contact an authorized supplier for a free demonstration.

FITTING A LUMBAR SUPPORT

If your JAY foam cushion includes a lumbar support, its proper use may help to reduce lower back discomfort and sitting fatigue.

Adjust lumbar support height so that maximum thickness of lumbar support is at your waist or belt line.
Attach the lumbar support by looping one Velcro® strap attachment over the back of the chair, under the push handle and back around the front of the chair. The hook Velcro on the back of the strap should secure to the loop Velcro on the front of the strap.
Repeat the attachment process on the opposite side, making sure that the lumbar support is centered on the wheelchair.
If additional support is required, a 1/2” (1cm) thick foam insert can be placed inside the cover behind the lumbar support.This acts as a shim to increase the thickness of the lumbar support.

NOTE:

Junior size lumbar supports attach with an elastic strap and buckle instead of Velcro® straps.
Varying the height of the lumbar support during the course of the day may help relieve sitting fatigue.
Placing the cushion about 1”, (2.5cm), further forward in the wheelchair makes it more comfortable to use with the lumbar support.
If your cushion did not include a lumbar support but you would like its benefits, contact an authorized supplier for a free demonstration.

MAINTENANCE

EASY MAINTENANCE

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.

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.
