A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should determine whether the product is appropriate for the individual's particular seating needs.
The product's intended use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all seating and mobility equipment and
therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual's physical needs
and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the need for other assistive
technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.

Important Safety Information

Warnings:
- Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which
vary by individual. Check skin frequently, at least once a day. Redness,
bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin) may indicate
superficial or deep tissue injury and should be addressed. If there is any
discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the discoloration
does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse, immediately consult a
healthcare professional.
- DO NOT use the product on top of, or in conjunction with, any other
products or materials, except otherwise indicated in this manual. Doing
so may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
If your cushion feels unstable, see "Troubleshooting" or consult with a
clinician for proper use.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion. Except
for the compatible covers and accessories listed in "Product Specifications"
in this manual, any items placed between the individual and the cushion,
whether inside or outside the cover, will make the cushion less effective.
- The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used
as directed in this manual. IF THEY ARE NOT: 1) the benefits provided by
the cushion may be reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk to skin or to
other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may become unstable and vulnerable
to falling.
- If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek
assistance by contacting your clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or
Customer Support.
- DO NOT expose your cushion to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
Testing or certification claims, including for flammability, may no longer
apply to this device when it is combined with other products or materials.
Check testing and certification claims for all products used in combination
with this device.
Each of the following products utilizes DRY FLOATATION Technology and is

Warnings:
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature.
Take appropriate precautions, especially when the cushion will contact
unprotected skin.

may be a finger trap hazard.
- DO NOT use the cushion as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life
Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.
Cautions:

exhibits unusual stiffness, allow the cushion to warm to room temperature.
- DO NOT use a pump, cover, or repair kit other than those compatible with
your product.
- DO NOT modify the cushion or any components. Doing so may result in
damage to the product and will void the warranty.
- DO NOT allow your cushion to come into contact with oil-based lotions or
lanolin. They may degrade the material.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushion,
affect the performance of the cushion, and void the product warranty.
- Periodically, check the cover and components for damage and replace if
necessary. See "Troubleshooting".
- DO NOT use any of the following as a handle for carrying or pulling the
cushion; the product may tear: inflation valve(s), hose(s), quick disconnect
(Sensor Ready Cushion), or the ISOFLO Memory Control (SELECT
