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.
Invacare Matrx Elite
The Invacare Matrx Elite 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 Elite back includes a movable foam lumbar pad that can be installed/inserted behind
the existing foam cushion to provide additional positioning capability. Refer to Lumbar Support (Optional)
on page 10 for instructions on how to insert and adjust your lumbar support.
Outer Cover
The outer cover is made of a mesh material that is moisture resistant and breathable. Regular cleaning and inspection of the outer cover is recommended. Refer to Care and Maintenance on page 10.

2.1 Transporting the Client Within a Wheelchair Fitted with a Matrx Back in a Motor Vehicle
The following guidelines should be made available to all parties who are responsible for the transportation of the client, such as schools and transport providers.
Wherever practicable the client should be transferred out of the wheelchair into a vehicle seat and use a lap and diagonal seat belt or an appropriate child safety seat.
The Matrx back has been dynamically tested and meets the requirements of ISO 16840-4 and Section 20,
ANSI/RESNA WC/Volume 4 “Wheelchair Seating Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles”. A Surrogate
Wheelchair Base (SWCB) and a Hybrid III Midsize-Adult Male Anthropomorphic Test Device were used
in a forward facing frontal impact test. The SWCB was secured by a four-point, strap type wheelchair tiedown and the occupant restraint was a vehicle anchored lap and diagonal occupant restraint system.
Matrx backs should only be used in conjunction with wheelchairs that comply with the performance requirements of ANSI WC19 or ISO 7176-19.
Before Entering the Vehicle Check the Following:
Matrx Back - must be securely fastened into the wheelchair as described in the user manual.
Posture Belts and Harnesses - should remain fitted during transportation, although they are designed to
provide postural support only, they are not intended for safety during transportation.
Head Support - must be securely fitted and correctly adjusted close to the rear of the client’s head during
transportation, in order to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries.
The Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS)
Wheelchair Tie-down - The wheelchair must be securely tied down within the vehicle, in a forward facing
position, in accordance with the wheelchair and tiedown manufacturers instructions.
Occupant Restraint - A suitable occupant restraint system must also be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. A minimum is a lap and diagonal belt (lap belts on their own are not suitable).
Restraints that loop over the shoulder and anchor to the vehicle floor should be avoided where possible,
as they can cause a heavy downward load through the client during an impact, the preferred type anchor
above and behind the shoulder as with a car seat belt. The lap section of the belt should fit snugly over
the pelvis of the client and should not be able to ride up to the abdominal area. The upper torso section
of belt should be in contact with the client’s chest and fit over the shoulder(s), while not cutting into the
neck or slipping off the shoulder(s).
If the wheelchair and Matrx back are to be transported unoccupied, the wheelchair should be tied
down with suitable equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the equipment is to
be dismantled for transportation, ensure that all parts are secured safely within the vehicle.
2.2 Intended Use
The Invacare Matrx Elite back is designed to provide precise orientation within the wheelchair for optimal postural support.

2.3 General Warnings
WARNING
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT OR ANY AVAILABLE OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT WITHOUT
FIRST COMPLETELY READING AND UNDERSTANDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
ANY ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL SUCH AS OWNER’S MANUALS, SERVICE
MANUALS OR INSTRUCTION SHEETS SUPPLIED WITH THIS PRODUCT OR OPTIONAL
EQUIPMENT. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS OR
INSTRUCTIONS, CONTACT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL, DEALER OR TECHNICAL
PERSONNEL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT - OTHERWISE, INJURY OR
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
ACCESSORIES WARNING
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
INSTALLATION WARNING
The procedures in this manual should be performed by a qualified technician.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all attaching component
parts are secure.
DO NOT install the Invacare Matrx Elite assembly onto back canes with an outside diameter
greater than 1-inch or less than 3/4-inch. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
The mounting position of the Invacare Matrx Elite is directly related to the chair's stability. When
the Invacare Matrx Elite is added to a TILT and/or RECLINING chair, it may cause a decrease in
the chair's stability. It may be necessary to reposition the FRONT CASTERS, REAR WHEELS,
BACK ANGLE, TILT-IN-SPACE, RECLINE POSITION and/or SEAT DEPTH before use. Use
extreme caution when using a new seating position.
When a Matrx Elite is added to a TILT and/or RECLINING chair, a RIGIDIZER BAR or CROSSBAR must be present to stabilize the back canes.
Ensure the Invacare Matrx Elite is properly secured to the wheelchair before using. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.
WARNING
Skin condition should be checked very frequently after the installation of any new seating system.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have any questions regarding individual
limitations and needs.
Working with your therapist, physician, and equipment supplier is the best way to assure that a
seating choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become more complex, the seating evaluation becomes more
important.

Mounting Configuration
WARNING
The mounting plates are shipped pre-assembled on the cane clamps in the rearmost mounting configuration. This maximizes the seat depth on the wheelchair seat (up to a maximum 2.5” (64 mm) rearward offset - see image A).
By changing the orientation of the mounting plates on the cane clamps, the assembly can be reconfigured* to provide a more forward mounting position for the back if desired (up to a maximum 2.5” (64 mm) forward offset - see image B).
*To reconfigure a mounting plate/cane clamp to
the forwardmost orientation:
1. Detach the mounting plate from the cane clamp
2. Rotate the cane clamp 180° and re-fasten it to
3. Install cane clamp as illustrated in image B.
When establishing the mounting position for the Invacare Matrx Elite, ensure the stability of the wheelchair is not compromised.
Adjusting the forward and aft position of the backrest will alter the user’s center of gravity within
the wheelchair. A recessed back position can significantly reduce the rearward stability of the
wheelchair. Similarly, a more forward back position will reduce the wheelchair’s forward stability.

Accommodating Back Cane Size
On some wheelchairs, there may be an uneven seam along the back posts where a smaller
diameter tube is inserted into a larger diameter tube. If the cane clamps must be mounted over
this seam, the plastic inserts may be cut in half to allow the clamp to fasten securely onto the back
posts (see image B).
For wheelchairs with short back canes, it may be necessary to install Matrx PB Cane
Replacements (PBCR’s). The PBCR’s are designed to replace existing push handles or cane
extensions
onto the replacement back canes in order to allow proper installation of the Invacare Matrx Elite.
Cane replacements are available from Motion Concepts (part#-TRX2810).

Invacare Matrx Elite backs are available in a range of widths (12” (31 cm) - 20” (51 cm)) and 6
different heights (10” (26 cm); 12” (31 cm); 14” (36 cm); 16” (41 cm); 18” (46 cm) and 20” (51
cm)). Due to variances that exist between different wheelchair manufacturers, the depth of the
mounting pins may require some adjustment to properly fit the Invacare Matrx Elite onto the
wheelchair back posts. Refer to Mounting Pin Adjustment on page 7. Two sets of mounting pins
are supplied with every Invacare Matrx Elite (standard pins and long pins). The standard pins are
installed at the factory and are suitable for most typical wheelchair configurations. The long pins
are designed to allow installation onto back posts that are up to 1” (25 mm) wider than the width
of the actual backrest.
*Elite back widths are offered in 1” (25 mm) increments).
Example: for a 16" (41 cm) Invacare Matrx Elite:
16" (41 cm) wheelchair seat frame (back post)
width = standard pins
17" (43 cm) wheelchair seat frame (back post)
width = long pins
When the narrowest setting is used for the back,
the depth/recline range will be less than in wider
positions.
Extended Mounting Pins (EMP) are available (sold separately) to allow interfacing of our Invacare Matrx Elite backs onto wheelchair seat frames up to 2” (5 cm) wider than the actual back width.
CAUTION
* EMP’s are only for use with our standard back sizes (for up to 300lb (136 kg) weight capacity); EMP’s are not recommended for use in tilt applications.

mounting (see image). Since the back
can be mounted in a rotated (reclined)
position if desired, it will not always be
mounted parallel with these vertical
lines.
