WHAT IS BOTTOMING OUT?
Bottoming out may occur on a J3 Cushion if you displace the fluid
or air underneath your pelvic bones or buttocks, which would
leave you sitting on the foam base. It sometimes occurs on very
thin individuals, people using recliner wheelchairs, people who
have lost weight or have other changes in body size or shape,
people who slouch when sitting, or a person using a P LA size
inappropriately sized for their pelvis.
When bottoming out occurs, increased pressure is placed
onto the ischials and coccyx increasing the risk for skin
breakdown. Immediately discontinue use of the pad. See
your healthcare professional.
HOW TO CHECK FOR BOTTOMING OUT
JAY Flow Fluid Pad
o check for bottoming out, sit on the cushion, with the cover on
T
and the zipper opened, for seven to ten minutes. Transfer up and
off the cushion (or have someone help you transfer), trying not to
disturb the fluid underneath you. Fold the back portion of the
cover forward over the front, exposing the fluid pad. Push down
in the depressions on the pad where your ischials (seat bones)
and coccyx (tailbone) were. You should have to push through at
least 1/2" (1.3 cm) of fluid before you feel the firm cushion base
below.
1/2" (1.3 cm) is approximately this deep.

WARNING
If the cushion is properly positioned, the footrests are properly
adjusted, and there is not at least the minimum 1/2" (1.3 cm) of
fluid, the cushion is bottoming out and should not be used. If you
are bottoming out, discontinue use of the cushion and see your
clinician. Usually bottoming out is easily solved by ordering
additional fluid in the form of an Overfill on the Factory Filled
model. On the Field Variable version, you can use the Fluid
Supplement pads to add additional fluid. Call your local
authorized supplier to see if this is appropriate for you.
