undergone appropriate training by either Sunrise
Medical or their approved supplier.

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 J2 & J2 DC 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 freezing, direct
sunlight, excessive heat or open flame.
• 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 the correct way 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.
