CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Warning: Do not use quaternary ammonium-, chlorine- or hydrogen peroxide-based products to disinfect your
seating system. These products can damage your seating system.
Disinfectants are NOT effective on porous surfaces such as foam or wood. If necessary, they may be cleaned
by hand wiping with a damp cloth. They cannot be effectively disinfected and must NOT be used by different
individuals.
VARILITE recommends a minimum 70% solution of isopropyl alcohol for use as a disinfectant.
Cover Cleaning and Disinfection Procedure:
See laundering symbols in this document and on care and use tag.
Cushion Cleaning and Disinfection Procedure:
1. Hand wash cushion under hot tap water until all visible soil is removed from the cushion. Use mild liquid dish
soap if needed. Repeat if necessary.
2. Rinse the cushion thoroughly, so that the soap is completely removed from the cushion.
3. Let cushion dry for at least 30 minutes.
4. Spray entire cushion with 70% Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) ensuring that the entire pad is saturated.
5. Let cushion dwell with 70% IPA for 10 minutes.
6. Repeat steps four and five once more.
7 . Ensure cushion is fully dry before resuming normal use.
Meridian Cushion Instructions
1. In an unloaded state, fully inflate both the pelvic and thigh chambers of the cushion by opening each air valve. Close
each air valve when chambers are fully inflated.
2. With the user sitting on a fully inflated cushion, open the gray valve to release air from the pelvic chamber. Close
the valve when the user is sitting on approximately 1/2-inch (13 mm) of air and foam. Setting the pelvic chamber first
allows for maximum immersion of the pelvis and optimal pressure distribution.
3. Once the pelvis is properly immersed, open the black valve to release air from the thigh chamber. Close the valve
when optimum load on thighs is achieved. The independent thigh chamber allows for maximum loading of the thighs.
Increasing load on the thighs relieves pressure from the ITs where pressure is not well tolerated.
ProForm NX Instructions
These guidelines are provided to help inform seating and mobility professionals of recommended tools and modification
techniques for the ProForm NX product.
The ProForm should be adjusted according to the instructions of your seating professional and according to the desired
outcomes of your postural positioning goals. When adjusting for positioning, ensure there is a minimum of ½ to 1 inch
(1.3 to 2.5 cm) of air and foam between the ischial tuberosities and the seating surface. Always follow your clinician's
recommendations for proper cushion adjustment.

2. Cut Modifiable Wedge with a blade or electric knife.
