These instructions provide important information for the safe use and maintenance of

WARNING! This product should be installed and
fitted by a qualified rehab technician.

Optional Bodypoint belt mounting hardware may

support belt.
INTENDED USE:
WARNING! This product should only be used for
positioning a person in a wheelchair or work chair. It
is NOT intended for use as a transportation safety
device, as a personal restraint device, or in any other
application where its failure could result in injury.
Misuse of this product is unauthorized and unsafe.
WARNING! This anterior trunk support must be
properly fitted to support the user's trunk and
shoulders without causing injury. Have your seating
specialist demonstrate its proper adjustment and use.
• If it is too tight, it can restrict respiration and
increase pressure across the shoulders and chest.
• If it is too loose, it can allow the user to slip down
and may create a risk of strangulation.
• Accidental release of this product can allow the
user to fall forward.
• A user's inability to self-release can be hazardous if
the user slips down or is trapped in the wheelchair
in an emergency.
If the user's physical or cognitive abilities could
prevent them from safely operating this product,
a caregiver must be present at all times during its
use. Ensure that all caregivers know how to correctly
adjust and unfasten the product.

WARNING! As with any new seating support, this
product may change the way a person sits. Users
must continue to practice regular pressure relief
activities and skin integrity checks, not only where
this product contacts the user, but also in primary
pressure-bearing areas such as the sacrum, legs, and
buttocks. If increased skin redness or irritation occurs,
discontinue use and consult your physician or seating
specialist. Failure to do so may result in serious injury,
such as pressure ulcers.
WARNING! If a serious incident occurs related to
the use of this product, it should be reported to the
manufacturer (Bodypoint, Inc.) and the local
Competent Authority.
