4 Usage

4.1 Safety information

WARNING!
Invacare advise that the patient is assessed by
a trained health care professional to ensure the
correct size and seating requirements. This is to
achieve the best pressure and postural care and
that position for the individuals needs are met.
– Always consult a health care professional before
using the product.
WARNING!
It is very important for the patient to reposition
themselves, or to be repositioned, on a regular
basis. This relieves pressure which helps prevent
both tissue compression and potential ulcer
formation.
Skin redness is one clinical indicator for skin
breakdown.
– Regularly inspect/monitor if your skin develops
any redness.
– Immediately contact a healthcare professional,
if your skin develops redness.
