1.1 Symbols

Signal words are used in this manual and apply to hazards or unsafe practices which could result in personal injury or property damage. See the information below for definitions of the signal words.

1.2 Overview Important Information

The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their causes and your role in a skin management program. Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions regarding individual limitations and needs. All cushions should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist and physician is the best way to assure that a cushion choice matches your

individual needs. As the needs of the individual become more complex, cushion evaluation becomes more important.

The Invacare Matrx MX1 back is contoured to provide precise orientation within the wheelchair for optimal postural support. The foam is oversized to provide extra comfort and protection.

The Invacare Matrx MX1 back includes a movable foam lumbar pad that can be installed/inserted behind the existing foam cushion to provide additional positioning capability. Refer to Installing/Adjusting the Lumbar Support on page 25 for instructions on how to insert and adjust your lumbar support.
