clinical indicator of tissue breakdown is skin redness. If your skin
develops redness, discontinue the use of the cushion immediately
and see your doctor or therapist.

may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons.
E. GENERAL WARNINGS
NO TIC E - R E AD B EF O RE U SE
WARNING
rior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried for a few
P
hours at a time while a clinician inspects your skin to ensure that
red pressure spots are not developing. You should regularly check
or skin redness. The clinical indicator for tissue breakdown is skin
f
redness. If your skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the
cushion immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
WARNING
Your JAY cushion is desiged to help reduce pressure. However, no
cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pressure sores. The JAY cushion is not a substitute for good skin care
including, proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure relief. Be
sure that the Velcro is engaged and able to hold the cushion in
place.
F. PROTECTING YOUR CUSHION
WARNING
Always avoid exposing your cushion to sharp obects, excessive
heat or open flame, and prolonged exposure to environmental
conditions like freezing temperatures and/or direct sunlight.
WARNING
Do not install this equipment without first reading and understanding this manual. If you are unable to understand the Warnings,
Cautions, and/or Instructions, contact a qualified clinician or supplier - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
WARNING
Hook and loop Velcro should not come into prolonged contact
with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive and lead to a failure of the Velcro® to hold the cushion in place.
WARNING
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may effect the center of gravity
of the wheelchair. Installed incorrectly, it may cause the wheelchair
to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always assess if the
addition of anti-tips, and/or an amputee axle adapter brackets may
be needed to help increase stability after adding a cushion.
G. OBSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Make sure that there are never any obstructions between you and
your cushion. Any obstruction will reduce product effectiveness
and/or produce unnecessary pressure points for the user.
H. COVER ORIENTATION
WARNING
Product must be used with the cushion cover facing up. If the
cover is not used correctly it may reduce or eliminate the cushion’s benefits and could increase the risk of skin and soft tissue
injuries.

ET-UP, ADJUSTMENT & CARE
S
A. SETTING UP YOUR CUSHION
1. Initial Cushion set-up without user in seated position
Select a JAY Cushion that matches the width of your wheelchair,
The cushion length should extend to within 1 to 2 inches (2.55cm) from the back of the seated user’s knees. Place the cushion
n the chair with the material identification tags facing the rear of
i
the chair. The product label should be visible on the right side of
the cushion.
2. Cushion set-up and adjustment with seated user
a. Adjust the footrests so the seated user’s legs rest comfort-
ably on the cushion. Lowering the footrests on your wheelchair may help reduce the pressure on your ischials (Seat
bones) and Coccyx (Tailbone).
NOTE- Proper footrest adjustment will enhance sitting comfort.
JAY®J2 CUSHION - 2100 SERIES MODELS
The J2 Cushion has been engineered to provide a high degree
of pressure reduction and postural support with a minimum of
maintenance.

JAY Flow Fluid pad
Checking for bottoming out on
the J2 Cushion
Bottoming out occurs on a J2 Cushion when you displace the fluid
out from underneath your seat bones, which leaves you sitting on the
oam base. It sometimes occurs on very thin individuals, people using
f
recliner wheelchairs, people who slouch when sitting or if using a
cushion that is too wide.
When bottoming out occurs, increased pressure is loaded onto the
schials and coccyx increasing the risk for skin breakdown.
i
To check for bottoming out, sit on the cushion without the cover for
a minimum of two minutes. Transfer up and off the cushion (or have
someone help you transfer), trying not to disturb the fluid underneath you. Push down in the depressions on the pad where your
ischials (seat bones) and coccyx (tailbone) were. You should have to
push through at least 1/2" (1cm) of fluid before you feel the firm
cushion base below.
If the cushion is properly positioned and the footrests are properly
adjusted, and there is not at least the minimum 1/2" (1cm) of fluid,
the cushion is bottoming out and should not be used. If you are bottoming out, discontinue use of the cushion and see your clinician.
Usually bottoming out is easily solved by using fluid supplement pads
(part# F119). Call your local authorized supplier to see if this appropriate for you.
Note:We recommend using a JAY
your wheelchair upholstery or a J2 Solid Seat Insert in addition to
your upholstery. It will optimize the performance of your J2 Cushion
and help provide better positioning for you.

Caution
Prior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried for a few
hours at a time while a clinician inspects your skin to ensure that
red pressure spots are not developing. You should regularly check
for skin redness. The clinical indicator for tissue breakdown is skin
redness. If your skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the
cushion immediately and see your doctor or therapist.

Reassembling the J2 Cushion after cleaning
Follow cleaning and maintenance instructions as described in “Easy
maintenance and cleaning”, then reassemble as follows after cleaning.
Attach the fluid pad to the foam base. Attach the rear three
®
Velcro
strips first, then the front two Velcro®strips. The pleats in
the rear of the pad will automatically wrinkle the pad for you.
There should be plenty of wrinkles in the fluid pad. This maximizes
pressure reduction and helps reduce shearing by allowing the pad
to conform to bony prominences.

C. X2 & XTREME CUSHION ACCESSORY
PARTS
Each X2 & Xtreme includes two lateral thigh supports. The supports are located in pockets sewn inside the bottom panel of
the cover. When positioned under the front of the foam base,
the supports enhance the top surface contour of the cushion providing lateral thigh support without compromising softness. This
increases the contact with the legs to help control abduction (separation of legs).
If you do not want to use the lateral thigh supports, unzip the
cover and remove the base and fluid pad, then remove the lateral
thigh supports from their pockets inside the cover. Re-insert the
base and fluid pad into the cover and zip the cover closed.
Optional solid seat
An optional half solid seat is available from Sunrise specifically for
the X2 & Xtreme. The solid seat fits under the seat well portion
of the base only. The solid seat can help enhance the stability of
the cushion, if necessary, without compromising softness under
the legs. It is ordered as a modified solid seat, contact an authorized supplier to order.

F. FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING
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(s)
oward the rear. When fit correctly, your hips should be to the back
t
of the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be centered on the
JAY Flow™ Fluid pad(s) in the seat well 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.
Note: Do not use the wheelchair’s seat width as a guide in determining the appropriate cushion width Improper cushion fit may be
detrimental to the performance of a pressure distributing cushion
and its support of the body.
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 or the JAY Solid Seat insert
that is appropriate for the cushion.
Avoid using overly stretched back rest upholstery. Stretched back
upholstery does not provide adequate support for the body and
improper positioning may result. Replace stretched back rest
upholstery or purchase a back support product from Sunrise that is
appropriate for you. Contact a authorized supplier for a free
demonstration of these products.
