Adjusting the filling grade
Warning! Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of your
therapist or technical advisor.
Ready for use
This Vicair product is ready for use. It has its own
unique filling grade, depending on size and
model and automatically manages small
obliquities. However – if necessary to support
more extreme asymmetry – the filling grade can
be adjusted by removing or adding SmartCells
from/to the various compartments. You can find
the default filling grade on the label attached to
the cushion.
Conditions for use and storage

Use of Vicair seat cushions in motor vehicles
Warning! No testing data is currently available
about the safe use of Vicair wheelchair cushions

encourage using the wheelchair cushion in
motor vehicles. As an alternative for your Vicair
wheelchair cushion, the Vicair AllRounder O2
(which can be fastened to the user's body) can
be used if you require additional protection
during transportation.
