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 replace if
ripped, torn, or otherwise not fully functional. Inspect the fluid
pad for punctures or any other abnormalities.
Check the foam base to ensure foam consistency. While
checking the fluid pad if you ever feel the fluid is firmer in one
area, simply knead the fluid back to its original consistency and/
or call your local authorized supplier.
To clean cover:
•
Remove the cover from the foam base and turn inside out.
•
Machine wash in warm water (70°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:
•
Reinstall the cover on the foam base.
•
Ensure the back of the cover matches up to the back of
the foam base.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CAUTION!
For cover sterilisation, Sunrise Medical does not
recommend high temperature sterilisation procedures.
NOTE:
•
If local protocol requires sterilization, please consult the
instruction table at the end of this manual to learn more
about recommended sterilisation methods.
•
The cushion cover may be washed at 80°C for 10
minutes and may be tumble dried, but we recommend
cleaning the cover by using the shortest time and the
lowest temperature allowed by local protocol to sterilise
the cover.
•
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.
Use only JAY-designed covers on JAY cushions. The cover
is an important part of allowing the immersion into the fluid
insert which redistributes the pressure. Changing the cover
will alter this design and its efficacy.
To clean foam base:
Remove the cover, fluid pad, and inner cover from the foam
base.
CAUTION!
Avoid submersion of the foam base in water.
•
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.
•
Reinstall the cover over foam base.
•
Ensure the back of the cover matches up to the back of
the foam base.
