USE OF THE ESSENTIAL CUSHION
If the user finds the cushion uncomfortable or finds it difficult to maintain a stable
position, the following checks should be made:
1. If the user weighs more than 250 lbs. (113.4 kg), verify that he or she is not
compressing the foam such that it is not providing support and pressure relief.
2. Verify that the cushion is oriented properly. The back of the molded foam is marked
with the word,"BACK". When the cover is properly installed, the zipper will be at
the back.
3. If the cushion is old, it may not be capable of providing support and should be
replaced.
CLEANING
CAUTION
The cover is designed to protect the foam against a users incontinence and
to provide fire retardency so the cushion must not be used without its
cover. If the cover is torn, it must be replaced.
COVER
CAUTION
Machine wash cold. Gentle cycle. Mild detergent. NO fabric softeners or
bleach. Tumble dry low or air dry.
CUSHION
CAUTION
Wipe down surfaces with a slightly dampened cloth. DO NOT submerge
cushion in water. If cushion foam becomes contaminated because of
incontinence, it should be replaced beause the foam is absorbent and
cannot be cleaned.
