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 J3 Cushion is appropriate.
Cushions should only be set-up by an authorized Sunrise
Medical supplier.

GENERAL WARNINGS

DO NOT set-up 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.
Setting-up 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 anti-tippers 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 J3 cushion is designed to help reduce pressure.
However, no cushion can completely eliminate sitting
pressure or prevent pressure sores. The J3 cushion is not a
substitute for good skin care including: proper diet,
cleanliness, and regular pressure reliefs.

WARNING
Do not leave the fluid 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.
CAUTION– AVOID SHARP OBJECTS OR EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT
OR
OPEN FLAME.
PROPER Fluid Level: The amount of fluid contained in the
insert is determined by the clinician during a seating
evaluation. This should not be adjusted without a
clinician directive as it can alter the pressure relieving
properties and lead to injury or damage.
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 fluid insert 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.
Air Insert: refer to applicable warnings in the Air Insert
Supplement.
