IMPORTANT Adjustment Notes
• Your nexus SPIRIT Cushion may have been specially ordered with
two valves, one on each side of the cushion. If you have two valves,
Steps 1 - 6 above should be repeated for each valve. Two valves
indicate that your cushion insert is divided in the middle. You or
your clinician or caregiver should locate the lowest bony prominence
on the same side as the air valve used to adjust the cushion.
• You, your clinicians and / or caregivers should check the cushion
insert daily to ensure that you have not bottomed out (ie. lost air and
sitting on the base of the cushion). If you bottom out, the protective
value of the cushion insert is lost. You should also check to be sure
the cushion insert is not over-filled with air. The cushion insert will
work best with approximately
its base.
• The DRY FLOATATION cushion insert may be affected by changes
in altitude. You may have to repeat Steps 1 - 6 above as you
change altitudes.
Step 6: Leaving one hand in
place beneath the lowest
bony prominence, use the
other hand to open the valve.
As air is released from the
cushion insert, you will
begin to sink into it. When
your fingertips touch its
base, close the valve.
Approximately
of air should be between
your lowest prominence and
the base of the cushion.
