ObusForme CL-BLK-CB - Manuel

Congratulations
Thank you for your purchase of the
ObusForme ® CustomAIR Backrest Support.
The award-winning ObusForme ® Backrest
Supports provide support and comfort for
your back to assist in the prevention and
relief of back pain.
The only backrest exclusively endorsed by the
Canadian Chiropractic Association, it con-
tains an “S”-shaped frame that conforms to
the contours of the back to guide the spine
into correct alignment and place you in a
proper sitting posture. The ObusForme ®
CustomAIR ® Backrest Support features an
internal, inflatable lumbar support system.
Lightweight and portable, each backrest
support turns any chair into an ergonomic
seating system; they can be used in the
home, office, vehicle, or anywhere else you
sit.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. How does the ObusForme ® CustomAIR ® Backrest Support fas-
ten to a seat or chair?
A. The ObusForme ® CustomAIR ® Backrest Support stays in position
when the elastic stretch loop is placed or stretched over most
chairs or vehicle seats. The stretch loop is not necessary on
couches or sofas.
Q. Why should I use the internal inflatable lumbar support system?
A. The internal inflatable lumbar support system provide added sup-
port for the lower spine by filling in the lower inward curve of your
back. Lumbar supports can be used for everyday use as extra
lower back support or to reduce spinal stress in people with a
marked lumbar lordosis or sway-back.
Please Note: It is not necessary to use the internal inflatable lum-
bar support system on your ObusForme
® CustomAIR ® Backrest
Support. If the internal inflatable lumbar support system feels bulky
or uncomfortable, you may not have an excessive lumbar curve that
requires extra support.
Q. How do I adjust the internal inflatable lumbar support system
in the CustomAIR ® ?
A. INFLATE: Rest your lower back against the CustomAIR ® . Pump the
INFLATION VALVE located on the back bottom, right-hand side.
Use your fingers to pump the INFLATION VALVE while gripping the
front bottom, right-hand side of the CustomAIR
® with the thumb
of your right hand.
From full deflation, there are approximately 50 comfort positions
for the internal inflatable lumbar support system. When you have
reached the most comfortable position for your back, simply stop
pumping. The level of air in the lumbar support will remain fixed
indefinitely until changed.
DEFLATE: Lean your lower back against the CustomAIR ® and fully
deflate it by pressing the DEFLATION VALVE located on top of the
INFLATION VALVE, on the back bottom, right-hand side of the
CustomAIR
® .
Q. How is the ObusForme ® CustomAIR ® Backrest Support cleaned?
A. The ObusForme ® CustomAIR ® Backrest Support cover is made of
synthetic materials. It’s easy to clean with a mild soap and a
sponge, damp cloth, or soft brush. Do not rub the cover excessive-
ly or place it in a washing machine. The cover can be removed and
hand washed in cool water. Hang to dry.
To smooth out wrinkled fabric, remove the backrest’s cover and
iron it using the iron’s lowest setting.
Should you wish to purchase a replacement cover, they are available
in the same durable, hypoallergenic fabric, at a minimum cost,
through your ObusForme
® dealer.
Helpful Hint: To increase the air circulation in your backrest, you may
remove the thin plastic layer that lies between the foam and the
cover. Simply separate the fastener at the back of your backrest,
remove the cover, tear off the plastic layer, and replace the cover.
Please Note: The ObusForme ® CustomAIR ® Backrest Supports may
in some cases require time to get used to. Over the years your
spine has become less flexible, and needs time to adjust to its
natural shape again. If you feel discomfort when using your
ObusForme
® CustomAIR ® Backrest Support for the first time, it is
recommended that you use it for shorter periods of time, gradu-
ally increasing your usage until you feel comfortable.
If you have a very sore back or small curvature (lumbar area), it
is highly recommended that you allow yourself a break-in period
of at least 30 days in order to obtain the full benefits of your
ObusForme
® CustomAIR ® Backrest Support.
