NOTE: Check all parts are free from shipping damage.
In case of damage DO NOT use. Contact Sunrise
Medical or your supplier for further instructions.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as
a doctor, therapist or rehab engineer experienced in
seating and positioning be consulted to determine if a
Jay Xtreme Active Cushion is appropriate. Cushions
should only be installed by:
• an authorized Sunrise Medical supplier
• a qualified healthcare professional who has
undergone appropriate training by either Sunrise
Medical or their approved supplier.
GENERAL WARNING
• 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®.
INTRODUCTION
The Xtreme Active Cushion is designed with the benefits
of skin protection in a light-weight, comfortable and low-
maintenance design. The Xtreme Active incorporates a
Jay Flow Fluid pad, a soft foam base, with an incontinent
inner cover, optional lateral and medial thigh supports
and an outer cover. For active and regular users , the
Xtreme Active helps to provide pressure and shear
reduction which may help reduce the incidence of skin
breakdown. It is comfortable and facilitates movement,
allowing the user to change positions on the cushion.
The Jay Xtreme Active cushion is designed to help
reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers. However, no
cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or
prevent pressure ulcers. The Jay Xtreme Active cushion
is not a substitute for good skin care including proper
diet, cleanliness and regular pressure relieving.
Maximum User Weight:
• 150 kg for all sizes.

WARNING
• Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the
centre of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause
the wheelchair to tip backwards, potentially resulting
in injury. Always assess 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 Xtreme Active cushion is designed to help reduce
the incidence of pressure ulcers. However, no cushion
can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent
pressure ulcers.
WARNING
• Do not leave the 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.
• 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 or if the cover is the wrong
size, it may reduce or eliminate the cushion's benefits
and could increase risk to the skin and soft tissue.
• CUSHION BASE AND FLUID PAD: this product has
two different fluid pads that match two different bases.
The bases are not interchangeable. Using a fluid pad
with the incorrect base will reduce or eliminate the
cushion's benefits, increasing risk to the skin and soft
tissue
