WARNING
The Field Variable Volume Fluid Pad comes with two Fluid
Supplement Pads as standard and has a blue urethane
cover to differentiate it versus the standard grey urethane on
the Factory Filled Fluid Pad. This colour difference identifies
that the blue fluid pad comes underfilled in comparison to
the grey Factory Filled pad, and has four Velcro attachment
points to attach the standard Fluid Supplement pads for
obliquities, and overfills. To determine how to use the Fluid
Supplement pads, please reference the "Fitting a Pressure
Distributing Cushion" section.
Fitting A Pressure Distributing Cushion
Using Fluid Supplements Pads.
Fluid Supplement pads are to be only used with the Field
Variable Fluid pad. To determine if you have a Field
Variable Fluid pad, unzip the cushion cover and look at the
pad in the pelvic loading area. If the pad has a blue outer
cover, it is a Field Variable Fluid pad and designed to work
with Fluid Supplement pads.
Clinicians or therapists should use Fluid Supplement
pads by attaching or removing to the Fluid pad Velcro
attachment points located between the folds on the upper
Fluid Pad surface to increase or decrease the amount of
fluid needed.
Fitting The Cushion.
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the
seated position. The cushion length should extend to
within 1" - 2" (2.5cm - 5cm) from the back of the knees.
Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the
material identification tags and fluid pad toward the rear.
When fitted correctly, your hips should be to the back of
the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be centered on
the JAY Fluid pad in the pelvic loading area of the cushion.
Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort
and help lower peak sitting pressures. Adjust the footrests
so your legs rest firmly but comfortably on the cushion.
Use the cushion indexing notches located in the rear of
the foam base to ensure proper alignment of the cushion
to the backrest. This will ensure that the pelvic loading
area and fluid insert are in the right position for the user.
Misalignment of the fluid insert and pelvic loading area
could lead to injury and skin breakdown.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat
upholstery. Stretched upholstery does not provide
adequate support for the cushion and improper positioning
may result. Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the
JAY Adjustable Solid Seat.

Easy Maintenance & Cleaning
• Monthly cleaning and regular maintenance may help
extend the life of your cushion. During cleaning,
component inspection is recommended.
• Check the cover for tears and excessive wear and
replace if ripped, torn or otherwise not fully functional.
Inspect the fluid pad for punctures or any other
abnormalities.
• Check the foam base to ensure foam consistency. While
checking the fluid pad if you ever feel the fluid is firmer
in one area, simply knead the fluid back to its original
consistency and/or call your supplier.
To Clean Cover
• Remove the cover from the foam base and turn inside out.
• Machine wash in warm water and drip or tumble dry on
low heat.
• No ironing required.
CAUTION
• Do not dry clean covers or use industrial washers and
dryers to clean cover.
• Do not steam autoclave.
• Do not bleach.
• To refit cover after washing, reinstall the cover on the
foam base. Ensure the back of the cover matches up to
the back of the foam base.
• If used in an institutional setting, write the resident's
name with a permanent marker on the content label
of the covers. This will help to ensure the return of the
covers after washing.
• Use only JAY covers on JAY cushions. The cover is an
important part of allowing the immersion into the fluid
insert which redistributes the pressure. Changing the
cover will alter this design and its efficacy.
To Clean Foam Base, Pla Reducer Ring And
Positioning Components.
• Remove the cover, fluid pad and PLA reducer ring
(if applicable) from the foam base. Wipe lightly with
a damp cloth. Do not use soap. Do not submerge in
water. Wipe off with a clean cloth. Let it completely air-
dry before reassembly.
• Avoid submersion of the foam base in water.
• Re-install the cover over foam base. Ensure the back of
the cover matches up to the back of the foam base.
To clean fluid pad and fluid inserts (if applicable)
Remove the cover from the foam base. Remove fluid pad
from its foam base and wipe with warm water and soap.
Rinse with a clean, damp cloth, then wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
CAUTION
• Never submerge the fluid pad in any liquid.
• Avoid harsh cleaning or rough handling as this may lead
to a degradation of the fluid insert and lead to a leakage.
• If at any time the cover, Pelvic Loading Ring, foam
base, fluid insert or any other component appears to
be wearing or you notice a degradation in the texture,
contact your supplier/Sunrise Medical for evaluation and
further instructions.
