Heed these warnings to reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
• Monitor skin conditions in the groin area frequently. If the
patient slides down or forward, pelvic straps may damage
the skin.
• There is a risk of chest compression or suffocation, if the
patient's body weight is suspended off the chair seat. Use
extreme caution with chair cushions. If a cushion dislodges,
straps may loosen and allow the patient to slide off the
seat (fig. 4).
• Monitor per facility policy to ensure that the patient
cannot slide down, or fall off the chair seat and become
suspended (fig. 4).
