1Hollowfibre Neck Pillow on adjustable weighted flap. Zip at rear to allow access so thickness of roll may be reduced.
NB: take care not to catch fibre in zip

2D-Shaped Neck Pillow on adjustable weighted flap. Soft rounded foam glued to a fibre board.

3Contemporary Neck Pillow on adjustable weighted flap. Shaped foam to fill nape of neck. Two widths: Small 10"/255mm or Medium 18"/460mm.

4Reflexion™ Memory Foam Cushion- has an upper Vasco memory foam layer which is energy absorbing and temperature sensitive.
It moulds itself to a person’s shape and size helping reduce pressure points and spread body weight more evenly across the whole surface of the cushion. The supporting layer of Reflex melamine-free foam improves support and flexibility for the upper layer of Vasco.
The Vasco foam may also be used in the seat/legrest wrap portion of a riser recliner chair.

5Reflexion™ Cushion with Pommel- helps sitter hold position if prone to sliding forward in seat and thereby minimises shear.
NB: this must be upholstered in Nytend vapour permeable material & supplied as a loose cushion only.

6Gel Cushion - has soft, non-liquid gel sheet set within the Vasco memory foam. The gel adjusts to body movement and helps maintain even weight distribution whilst protecting high pressure areas.

7Vicair® Academy Twin 10 Cushion - a cushion containing hundreds of air-filled Smart Cells with low surface friction which allows them to move easily against each other & conform precisely to bodily contours to give a stable and comfortable body support and very good pressure distribution. Vicair greatly assists postural stability as the sit bones are deeply immersed within the Smart Cells and this helps prevent the sitter sliding forward in the chair. The Vicair Cushion may be placed on a non-slip base on many models of our high seat chairs and may be used very effectively in the Drop-in Max riser recliner chairs. Cells may be removed to suit end user needs and are distributed in two distinct sections of the cushion.

8Westmeria Dynamic Air Cushion - a 4"/100mm thick cushion containing 6 dynamic cells which are powered by a compact mains operated unit. When switched on, alternate cells inflate and deflate under the sitter to relieve pressure from those areas in contact with the cushion. The Westmeria Cushion may be placed on a non-slip base on many models of our high seat chairs and may be used very effectively in the Drop-in Max riser recliner chairs. There needs to be space alongside the chair for the pump and a convenient mains socket.

9Lateral Supports
Pair of supports shaped to fit around sitters’ side & back, upholstered to match chair & velcroed to long weighted flap of material which sits over backrest of chair to allow height adjustment. Supports may be moved in or out to maximise sitter's stability in chair & should be held in place by arms/filled sides of chair.
Please state full specification of chair on which they will be used. Suitable for high seat or riser recliner chairs, but chair ideally does need filled-in sides to hold them in place.

10Housekeeping Wheels - two white plastic wheels bolted through the inside rear legs of the chair enable the unoccupied chair to be tilted backwards and wheeled easily to a new position without the strain of lifting the entire chair.

11Height Adjusters - Four metal tubular sections with push button adjustment fitted to inside of legs to give up to 4"/100mm extra seat height on Orkney or Shetland chairs - please specify lowest height of chair to which they are to be fitted. May be fitted with rear housekeeping wheels.

12Wings may be fitted to most models where non-standard and may be useful if the sitter has a doze! They also help protect the neck from draughts. NB: If the sitter has very wide shoulders these may occasionally prove restrictive.

13Filled sides may be fitted to most models where non-standard. They may be helpful for stroke patients and are useful for holding possessions such as a book or glasses case within the chair and for protection against draughts.

14Padded arms are standard on most chairs and are more comfortable than wooden arms.

15Hygiene Gap - gap at rear of seat or base of backrest to allow easy cleaning and to help prevent the build-up of harmful germs - available on Shetland, Jersey, Alderney, Lundy, Caldey chairs & standard on Bratton.

16Armcaps - Pair of armcaps for riser recliner chairs.

NB: These are a loose fit and may not fit snugly. Please note they may slip during the rising movement of the chair and we advise removing them before operating the seat rise action to ensure user safety.

17Antimacassar - An antimacassar may be purchased for any of the chairs to help prevent staining or marking of the fabric behind the sitter’s head.

18Handset with ivory coloured buttons - buttons stand out more clearly for the partially sighted.

19Keylock Handset whereby handset is inoperable if the key is removed from the key slot as a safety precaution to prevent inappropriate use of the chair.

NB: It is important to check that the key could not accidentally be removed without the sitter’s knowledge so that the person is not left stranded in the chair.

20Detachable Handset whereby the entire handset may be removed to prevent inappropriate use of the chair.

NB: It is important to check that the key could not accidentally be removed without the sitter’s knowledge so that the person is not left stranded in the chair.

21Paddle Switch Handset suitable for single motor Chatsworth, Beaulieu, Osborne, Sandown & Tate chairs. Some clients find this easier to operate than the buttons of the standard handset as it may be operated with the thumb or finger or by pressing the switch on the arm of the chair.

22Handset Pocket may be supplied as an optional extra if this is easier to access than standard handset loop.

NB: Handsets may also be attached to the front or top of the arm by Velcro if required - please supply a diagram to indicate position required.

23Battery Backup Systems All our riser recliner chairs come complete with basic battery backup which can only be used once on a set of batteries and should return the chair to normal sitting position in the event of power failure (provided the batteries are fitted, connected & have full charge). In areas where there are frequent power cuts we strongly recommend you consider a rechargeable battery backup pack (23) or an AccuPack system (24) as an optional extra. The rechargeable battery backup unit plugs into the transformer. When fully charged it should allow approximately 30 - 40 operations of the chair.

24AccuPack mains independent power supply enables a chair to be run without the need for trailing wires or a power socket in close proximity. The AccuPack unit needs recharging once or twice a week for up to 8 hours overnight, or as convenient, & will then give 50 - 80 cycles of the chair on a charge. When charge is low there is an audible alarm at which point there is sufficient power for 2-3 operations. The chair may be operated whilst the battery unit is being recharged & there is no need to discharge the batteries completely to prolong their life. AccuPack enables flexibility in chair positioning, removes the need for trailing cables by day & doubles as a meaningful battery backup system. The lead gel battery is fitted underneath the chair & the charging point is on the back of the armrest as illustrated.

25Hazard Sensor Device - Available on all A.J.Way riser recliner chairs except Multi 6, the hazard sensor consists of a sensor strip around the underside of the chair base which detects an obstacle in its way as the chair is lowered. The chair action stops & lifts slightly away from any obstacle
NB: This does not cover the scissor action of the legrest. We strongly recommend a hazard sensor be considered in houses where young children live or visit regularly. Children must in any case be supervised at all times in the proximity of a riser recliner and should never be left unattended by or allowed to play with such a chair.

26Rise Only/Recline Only Motors - If required these may be obtained for clients for whom the rise or recline function could pose a danger.

27Drop-In Max Cushion - An integral but removable seat cushion sits behind the legrest wrap and facilitates the introduction of a prescribed or specialist pressure distributing or relieving cushion. For maximum effectiveness the cushion, if upholstered, should be covered in a two-way stretch vapour permeable cover such as Nytend or Panvelle Stretch. The aperture will vary according to the seat width and depth and the type of backrest supplied (details available from the A.J.Way sales office). Infill foam may be supplied to ensure an effective fit.

28Detachable Wrap - All the armchair riser recliners may be supplied with the option of a detachable wrap to assist cleaning or to allow the wrap to be replaced should it become soiled. This wrap is fastened with Velcro behind the back of the seat and underneath the end of the legrest.

29Rubber Wheels - Two front swivel and two rear lockable rubber wheels may be fitted to riser recliner chairs (rear lockable only on Multi 6) to minimise skidding on wood, laminate & vinyl flooring. A must for hospital use.

30Polyurethane Castors may be fitted in place of castors to help prevent the chair moving on a wooden, laminate or vinyl floor.

NB: These obviously make it more difficult to move the chair for cleaning purposes.

31Non-slip Glides may be fitted in place of castors to help prevent the chair moving on a wooden, laminate or vinyl floor. NB: These obviously make it more difficult to move the chair for cleaning purposes

32Wooden Handgrips may give added confidence when rising or sitting as they are easier to hold on to than the fully upholstered arms

33Detachable Legrest Pillow - A hollowfibre pillow which is strapped around the upholstery on the lower section of legrest to give additional softness and height to elevated legrest. May be removed if no longer required.

34Occupancy Sensor - Pressure mat may be incorporated within chair cushion to indicate when a user has left the chair.

35Heat Pads (one in the seat and two in the back) may be incorporated in the back of most riser recliners if required (not suitable for waterfall back chairs or Multi 6). These require a second handset with three buttons.

36Actuator Cover & Splashproof Control Box - strongly recommended to help prevent accidental fluid ingress into the electrical parts if there is any likelihood of such an occurrence.
