• Place cushion by pressing firmly.
• Place the O2 Top Cover over the top of the
cushion.
• Pass the loop at the back of the cushion
through the 'button hole' in the back of the
cover.
• Sit on the cushion for a few minutes, to allow
the cushion to adapt to your body shape.
• If necessary, adjust footrest(s).
Alternative cushion covers
Perform the following steps when using the
Comfair Cover or the Incontinence Cover:
• Check cushion size.
Width (X) of the cushion and seat should
match. When the cushion rests against
armrests or side-guards, the width may be up
to 2,5 cm (1") wider. Depth (Y) of the
cushion and seat should match.
• Check if the size of the cover matches the
size of the cushion.
• Remove the Velcro strips from the bottom of
the cushion. Note that the strips confected
to the bottom of the cushion cannot be
removed.
• Insert cushion in cover.
• Pass loop through eyelet in cover.
• Close zipper. Make sure to not damage the
cushion.
• Remove protective backing tape from self-
adhesive Velcro strips attached to the
cushion cover.
• Place cushion by pressing firmly.
• Sit on the cushion for a few minutes, to allow
the cushion to adapt to your body shape.
• If necessary, adjust footrest(s).
Checking for "bottoming out":
Warning! Your tailbone and pelvic bones
should not touch the bottom of the cushion.
Checking for "bottoming out" should be done
during first use and after adjustments to the
cushion filling.
Warning! Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of your
therapist or technical advisor.
• Check for bottoming out, after sitting on the
cushion for approximately 5 minutes.
• Let your therapist or technical advisor slide a
hand between your buttocks and the Vicair
cushion while leaning forward.
• Ask your therapist or technical advisor to
check if your buttocks are supported by at
least 2,5 cm / 1" of SmartCells™. This
prevents your seat bones from touching the
wheelchair seat.
• Do not use the cushion if bottoming out
occurs. In most cases, adjusting the filling
grade of the compartments will solve the
problem.
USE
Checking for redness of the skin
Warning! Check your skin regularly for
redness, especially during the first few days.
If redness occurs and does not disappear after
15 minutes, consult your therapist or technical
advisor.
Adjusting the filling grade
Warning! Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of your
therapist or technical advisor.
