Risk category

Pressure ulcer categories

Use within this product’s intended setting, fit and user-weight limits, following clinical assessment and the current Instructions for Use.
Separate support for the seat and back
Care-Sit combines seat and back pressure redistribution in one support with two separately inflated sections. It is designed for static chairs and general-purpose wheelchairs with armrests. Choose the correct width and the configuration that provides a compatible fitted Dartex cover, either supplied with the set or retained from an existing serviceable product.
Choosing and fitting your support
Measure the usable seat width and check the back and seat fit. The two supported widths are 40 cm and 45 cm. Inflate both sections using the supplied pump. The compatible fitted cover’s adjustable upper and lower straps are required for a secure chair or wheelchair installation. The no-cover configuration must be used with the correct compatible fitted cover, for example an existing serviceable cover; it does not include the cover or its strap system.

Daily checks and cleaning
Check inflation with the manufacturer’s daily squeeze check and inspect positioning and skin regularly. Reconnect the correct pump and top up within a maximum of 14 days; the daily check still applies between top-ups. Always inflate and top up with the person off the product.
Clean visible contamination with detergent, water and a non-abrasive cloth. In the absence of visible contamination, follow the manufacturer’s weekly cleaning guidance and local infection-control policy. Dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, immerse or sterilise the inflatable support, and keep liquid out of the valve. Removable PU covers have separate washing instructions.
Clinical use and precautions
Use only on a chair with armrests. This is not a substitute for posture management. The IFU excludes unstable spinal fractures, posture-management needs such as pelvic obliquity, and body shapes that cannot be fully supported.
Keep the valve away from skin and avoid direct contact with open wounds or compromised skin. Seek clinical advice immediately if skin condition changes. Keep away from heat and sharp objects. The valve contains a metal spring: do not use near MRI equipment. Read the complete IFU before use.
Use as part of an assessed pressure-care plan, alongside appropriate skin checks, repositioning and other care. The support does not replace those measures.
Compatible accessories
Separate accessories for this exact configuration. Check whether a cover is already included before adding another.
Clinical information
These manufacturer resources provide clinical background for the wider Repose range. Studies of overlays, cushions or combined systems do not separately establish outcomes for every current Care-Sit configuration.
Clinical assessment, skin inspection, repositioning and the wider care plan remain essential. Use the current product instructions for indications, precautions and maintenance; older study protocols are not instructions for present-day use.
