Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Vicair Vector O2 is a specialized wheelchair seat cushion designed to enhance stability and comfort for individuals at high risk of pressure ulcers. It supports body posture and is integral to pressure ulcer treatment plans. The cushion is machine washable without needing to remove the SmartCells.

Main Components
The cushion package includes a cushion cover, the cushion itself, SmartCells divided into 8 compartments, a user manual, and a quick installation guide.

General Product Specifications
The Vicair Vector O2 is manufactured by Vicair B.V. in the Netherlands and comes with a 24-month warranty. It is made from latex-free polyester mesh fabric and features air-filled SmartCells. The covers are machine washable and comply with safety standards EN1021-1, 1021-2, and CAL117.

Precautions and Safety Instructions
Use the cushion solely as a wheelchair seat cushion and install it under the supervision of a therapist or technical advisor. Ensure that the tailbone and pelvic bones do not touch the cushion bottom. Regular skin checks for redness are advised, and filling adjustments should be made under supervision. The cushion is not recommended for use in motor vehicles and should be disinfected if soiled or transferred to another user. Regular checks for wear and deflated cells are recommended every three months.

Installation
Installation should be supervised, ensuring the cushion size matches the wheelchair seat. The cushion should be used with its cover, following specific steps for the O2 Top Cover and alternative covers.

Use
Regular checks for skin redness are necessary, and filling adjustments should be made as needed. The maximum user weight is 250 kg, and it is recommended not to use the cushion above 2400 m or below 50 m sea level. Daily fluffing of the cushion is advised.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Inspect the cushion every three months for wear and deflated cells. Do not steam clean or autoclave. Machine wash the cushion and cover as instructed, and disinfect if necessary.

Warranty
The product comes with a 24-month warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, excluding damage from abnormal use or improper handling. For questions, contact Vicair B.V. or your local distributor.

Specifications and Usage Instructions
Ensure the cushion size matches the wheelchair seat width and depth. If armrests or side panels limit the cushion, it can be up to 2.5 cm wider. Verify the cover size matches the cushion. Remove Velcro strips from the cushion's underside, but note they cannot be removed entirely. Fit the desired cover, pass the loop through the cover opening, and close the zipper carefully. Remove protective strips from adhesive Velcro on the cover and press the cushion firmly onto the wheelchair. Sit for a few minutes to allow the cushion to adapt to your body shape. Adjust footrests if necessary.

Seating Check
Ensure your coccyx and sit bones do not touch the cushion base. Perform a seating check during first use and after any filling adjustments. Vicair B.V. advises adjusting the fill level under professional supervision. After sitting for about 5 minutes, check for seating depth. Have a therapist or dealer slide a hand between your buttocks and the cushion while leaning forward. Ensure your buttocks are supported by at least 2.5 cm of SmartCells™ to prevent contact with the wheelchair seat.

Skin Redness Check
Regularly check your skin for redness, especially in the first days. If redness persists beyond 15 minutes, consult a therapist or dealer.

Filling Adjustment
Adjust the fill level under professional supervision. The maximum user weight is 250 kg, and the cushion should not be used above 2400 m or below 50 m sea level due to air-filled SmartCells. Adjust hardness by removing cells if necessary.

Care and Cleaning
Inspect the product every three months for wear and defective cells. Do not use if severely damaged. Clean the cushion and cover as instructed, using mild detergent and air drying. Disinfect if contaminated or transferred to another user.

Warranty
Vicair B.V. offers a 24-month limited warranty against manufacturing and material defects, excluding damage from misuse or negligence. The warranty covers repair or replacement but excludes consequential damages or costs exceeding the product's value.

Contact
For questions, contact Vicair B.V. or your local dealer.
