Product Detail and Specifications
Materials used in the construction of VARILITE seating systems: VARILITE does not use latex or phthalates anywhere in
the construction of our products.
CUSHION SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT
A built-in air release device (patent pending) automatically releases
a portion of air when you sit on the cushion. The air release device
(ARD) allows a fixed amount of immersion and prevents bottoming
out.
1. Remove the cushion from the packaging and remove the red
plug, allowing the cushion to fully inflate.
2. Place the cushion onto the seating surface.
3. Transfer onto the cushion. Sit in the recommended position.
Fig. A
4. You will sink down approximately 2 inches (5 cm) until a fixed
amount of air has been released.
5. Each time weight is taken off the cushion, it will automatically
re-inflate.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you suspect your cushion is not automatically adjusting properly or is not holding air, immediately stop using your product and
consult your healthcare professional. For additional assistance, please contact VARILITE customer service.
How to determine the location of a leak (dunk test):
1. Remove the cover and inflate the cushion. Insert the red rubber plug into the round opening in the back of the
cushion.
2. Fill a large sink or tub with several inches of water
3. Submerge cushion in the sink or tub of water.
If the cushion is punctured, you should see small air bubbles coming from the location of the puncture. Fig. B
If you see bubbles coming out of the cushion, contact the company that provided your product or VARILITE customer
service or your healthcare professional.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Warning: Do not use quaternary ammonium-, chlorine- or hydrogen peroxide-based products to disinfect your
seating system. These products can damage your seating system.
Disinfectants are NOT effective on porous surfaces such as foam or wood. If necessary, they may be cleaned
by hand wiping with a damp cloth. They cannot be effectively disinfected and must NOT be used by different
individuals.
VARILITE recommends a minimum 70% solution of isopropyl alcohol for use as a disinfectant.
Cover Cleaning and Disinfection Procedure:

Cushion Cleaning and Disinfection Procedure:
1. Insert the red rubber plug into the round opening in the back of the cushion.
2. Hand wash cushion under hot tap water until all visible soil is removed from the cushion. Use mild liquid dish
soap if needed. Repeat if necessary.
3. Rinse the cushion thoroughly, so that the soap is completely removed from the cushion.
4. Let cushion dry for at least 30 minutes.
5. Spray entire cushion with 70% Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) ensuring that the entire pad is saturated.
6. Let cushion dwell with 70% IPA for 10 minutes.
7 . Repeat steps four and five once more.
8. Ensure cushion is fully dry before resuming normal use.
The red plug is ONLY used during cleaning and dunk testing your cushion. It is not
necessary during routine use of the product.
Ensure seated position is in accordance with the diagram shown in the cushion setup
section. If this does not address the problem, perform a dunk test.
If no leaks are found in the cushion exterior after a dunk test, do not use your product
and contact your seating professional.
Ensure the components of your cushion are properly installed and oriented correctly
on the seating surface (see diagram in Product Detail section of owner's manual). If the
cushion is still uncomfortable or unstable, consult your health care provider.
Make sure the non-skid surface is facing down, and that your seating system is
oriented correctly. For additional retention, you can use the hook and loop fasteners
included on the bottom panel of your cushion cover to fasten your cushion to the
seating surface.
Do not use your product and contact your seating professional.
