NOTE:
Check all parts from shipping damage. In case of
damage DO NOT use. Contact Carrier/Sunrise for further
instructions.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a
doctor or therapist experienced in seating and positioning
be consulted to determine if a JAY Balance Cushion is
appropriate. Cushions should only be installed by an authorized
Sunrise Medical supplier.

GENERAL WARNINGS

• 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.
• Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the center
of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair
to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always
assess for the potential need for antitippers 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 JAY Balance Cushion is designed to help reduce
pressure. However, no cushion can completely eliminate
sitting pressure or prevent pressure sores.
• The JAY Balance Cushion is not a substitute for good
skin care including; proper diet, cleanliness, and regular
pressure relief.
• Do not leave the fluid 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 cushion cover facing up. If the cover is
not used correctly it may reduce or eliminate the cushion's
benefits and could increase risk to the skin and soft tissue.
• ROHO® DRY FLOATATION® Pad: refer to applicable
warnings in the ROHO® DRY FLOATATION® Pad
Supplement.

CUSHION ADJUSTABILITY

Fluid and Air Adjustability
The JAY Balance Cushion offers volume adjustability to
accommodate for users needs through the determination
of the correct amount of fluid made by your clinician during
evaluation.
The determination of Air Single or Air Dual Models is also
made by your clinician during evaluation. The inserts should
only be changed at the direction of your clinician.

ADJUSTING THROUGH THE

ROHO®DRY FLOATATION® PAD INSERT
The air insert version of the JAY Balance Cushion can
be adjusted at any time through the use of the hand
pump (provided) and release valve on the ROHO®DRY
FLOATATION® insert.
ADJUSTING THROUGH POSITIONING
COMPONENTS
The JAY Balance Cushion can be ordered with positioning
components to offer excellent positioning possibilities. When
the client has any kind of postural deformity, he /she might
require a custom configuration of his/her cushion such as
stability supports and additional positioning elements. Sunrise
Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doctor or
therapist experienced in seating and positioning be consulted
to determine if a JAY Balance Cushion with positioning
components is appropriate.
The following components can be ordered optionally, according
to individual positioning needs:
Lateral Thigh Supports: stop the legs from gradually moving
apart.
Medial Thigh Support: separates thighs for improving hip
alignment and stabilizing sitting posture.
Lateral Pelvic Supports: maintain pelvis in the center of the
seat.
Solid base: provides more postural stability
