Matrix Manufacturer’s Instructions
Thank you for choosing The PostureWorks Matrix wheelchair cushion. Please familiarize yourself with the proper use and care of your new PostureWorks device. If you have questions, or need further assistance, please contact us toll free at 1-866-860-5200; a representative will personally assist you.
WARNING: All PostureWorks products should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider; these products are not a substitution for proper patient supervision and care.
WARNING: The Matrix must be the same width and depth as the sling seat wheelchair upon which it will rest. Safety straps should be attached to the rear of the wheelchair. The USER’S FEET MUST BE PROPERLY POSITIONED AND SUPPORTED to evenly distribute weight over the back, buttocks, thighs, and feet.
WARNING: Installation of a wheelchair cushion may affect the center of gravity of the wheelchair and cause the chair to tip backwards, resulting in injury for the occupant. Always EVALUATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR WHEELCHAIR ANTI-TIPPERS or other adaptive devices to ensure proper wheelchair stability.
INSTALLATION: The Matrix wheelchair cushion must be the same width and depth as the sling seat wheelchair upon which it will rest. Place the Matrix directly on top of the existing sling seat so that both of the lateral sides of the cushion rest directly upon the seat rails of the sling seat wheelchair.
The Matrix is manufactured with a strap located at the rear of the device. This strap helps secure the cushion to the wheelchair and prevent it from sliding off the front of the chair under normal use. Wrap the Matrix strap around the back of the wheelchair, fasten the buckles to secure the strap, and tighten the strap so the cushion is fitted tightly to the wheelchair.
The Matrix is manufactured in various sizes to fit standard size wheelchairs. The Matrix should fit securely on top of the sling seat wheelchair with which it will be used. If your PostureWorks device does not fit securely in the wheelchair, you may need a custom size device. To order a custom size device, please call The PostureWorks toll free at 1-866-860-5200.
CLEANING: The Matrix can be cleaned using a mild detergent or water and wiped clean with a damp cloth. The device can be dried with a soft dry cloth. This product should be kept clean and dry. DO NOT IMMERSE OR SOAK IN LIQUID. When cleaning the wheelchair, the Matrix should be removed from the wheelchair prior to cleaning. The Matrix SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO RUNNING WATER OR LIQUID UNDER PRESSURE.
