The Field Variable Fluid Pad comes standard with 2 Fluid
Supplement Pads and has a Blue Urethane Cover to differ-
entiate it versus the standard grey urethane on the Factory
Filled Fluid Pad. This color difference identifies that the Blue
Fluid Pad comes underfilled in comparison to the Factory
Filled Pad, and has 4 Velco attachment points to attach the
standard Fluid Supplement pads to handle obliquities, and
overfills. To determine how to use the Fluid Supplement
Pads, please reference the "Fitting a Pressure Distributing
Cushion" section.
FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING
CUSHION
Using Fluid Supplements pads
Fluid Supplement Pads are to be only used with the Field Variable
Fluid Pad. To determine if you have a Field Variable Fluid Pad, unzip
the cushion cover, and look at the pad in the Pelvic Loading Area. If
the pad has blue outer cover, it is a Field Variable Fluid pad and
designed to work with Fluid Supplement Pads.
An authorized clinician or therapist should use Fluid Supplement
Pads by attaching or removing to the Fluid Pad Velcro Attachment
points located between the folds on the upper Fluid Pad surface to
increase or decrease the amount of fluid needed.
Fitting the cushion
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated posi-
tion.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 fluid pad
toward the rear. When fit correctly, your hips should be to the
back of the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be centered on
the Jay Fluid pad in the pelvic loading area 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.
NOTE:
Do not use the wheelchair's seat width as a guide in determining the
appropriate cushion width. Improper cushion fit may be detrimental to
the performance of a pressure distributing cushion and its support of
the body.
Use the cushion indexing notches located in the rear of the foam
base to ensure proper alignment of the cushion to the backrest.
This will ensure that the pelvic loading area and fluid insert are in
the right position for the user. Misalignment of the fluid insert and
pelvic loading area could lead to injury and skin breakdown.
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.
WARNING
EASY MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance may help extend the life
of your cushion. During cleaning, component inspection is recom-
mended.
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
1. Remove the cover from the foam base and turn inside out.
2. Machine wash in warm water and drip or tumble dry on low
heat.
No ironing required.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE:
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, PLA reducer ring and
positioning components
Remove the cover, fluid pad, and PLA reducer ring (if applicable)
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.
NOTE: Avoid submersion of the foam base in water.
Reinstall the cover over foam base. Ensure the back of the cover
matches up to the back of the foam base.
To clean fluid pad and fluid inserts (if applicable)
Remove the cover from the foam base. Remove fluid pad from its
foam base and wipe with warm water and soap. Rinse with a clean,
damp cloth. Then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
CAUTION– Never submerge the fluid pad in any liquid.
CAUTION– Avoid harsh cleaning or rough handling as this may lead to a
degradation of the fluid insert and lead to a leakage.
If at any time, the cover, Pelvic Loading Ring, Foam base, fluid
insert or any other component appears to be wearing or you
notice a degradation in the texture, contact your supplier/Sunrise
for evaluation and further instructions.
