A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should determine whether the product is appropriate for the individual's particular seating
needs. The product's intended use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all seating and mobility
equipment and therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should identify this care regimen after
evaluating the individual's physical needs and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the need for other
assistive technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.

Important Safety Information

Warnings:
- DO NOT use the product without first reading and understanding all of the provided instructions. If you are unable to perform any of the tasks in
this manual, seek assistance by contacting a clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support.
- Follow all instructions and safety information provided with the product and provided by the manufacturer of the wheelchair or other accessories.
- Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual. Check skin frequently, at least once a day. Redness,
bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin) may indicate superficial or deep tissue injury and needs to be addressed. If there is
any discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse, immediately
consult a healthcare professional.
- The product should be installed by an equipment provider or clinician.
- The product must be sized correctly to the individual and the wheelchair.
- DO NOT modify the product or use non-compatible products, materials, accessories or components, which may result in a non-secure
installation of AGILITY, bodily injury, and product damage or failure.
- As with any addition to a wheelchair, the product may affect the wheelchair's stability. Before using the product, consult with a clinician or the
equipment provider to determine whether the wheelchair should be modified.
- DO NOT lean over the top of an AGILITY Back Support. Doing so may cause a change in the center of gravity, and the wheelchair could tip
over.
- Use caution when installing, adjusting, or removing hardware to avoid pinching or trapping fingers in openings.
- Check daily to confirm the tightness of screws, nuts, clamps, and brackets. Retighten loose screws, following the instructions in this manual.

thoroughly inspected by the equipment provider.
- DO NOT lift or push a wheelchair using any part of an AGILITY because it may become detached from the wheelchair.
- Metal components may become hot if exposed to high temperatures or cold if exposed to low temperatures. The product's surface will acclimate
to the surrounding temperature. Take appropriate precautions, especially when the product will contact unprotected skin.
- DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes. Testing or certification claims, including for flammability, may no longer
apply to this device when it is combined with other products or materials. Check testing and certification claims for all products used in
combination with this device.
Cautions:
- Protect the AGILITY from blunt force shocks that may cause damage and/or breakage.
- The components of the AGILITY are not intended to be used separately from an AGILITY or in conjunction with other wheelchair back supports.
- You may need to remove the AGILITY before folding the wheelchair.
