WhAt iS BottoMing-out?
Bottoming-out may occur on a J3 cushion if you displace the
fluid 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 plA (pelvic
loading area) inappropriately sized for their pelvis.
When bottoming-out occurs, increased pressure is placed onto
the ischials and coccyx increasing the risk of skin breakdown.
immediately discontinue use of the pad. See your healthcare
professional.
hoW to check for BottoMing-out
to check for bottoming-out, sit on the cushion with the cover on
and the zipper opened for at least two 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.

consult your healthcare professional for proper fitting and use,
and read the following statements carefully:
• The fluid in this cushion may lose volume over time.
• Volume loss in this cushion may result in bottoming-out of
the cushion.
• Monthly, during routine cleaning and inspection, check
the cushion for bottoming-out (see instructions under
"checking for bottoming-out" in the warranty use and care
guide) and any fluid inconsistencies. if the fluid is firmer in
one area simply knead it back to its original consistency.
• If bottoming-out occurs discontinue use of this cushion and
contact your healthcare professional. if further assistance is
necessary, contact Sunrise Medical customer Services.
WArning
1/2" (1.3 cm) is approximately this deep.
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 supplier
to see if this is appropriate for you.
When to check
check your cushion and
fluid pad every month
when you clean it.
