WHAT IS BOTTOMING OUT?
Bottoming out may occur on a Fusion 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, or people who slouch when sitting.
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
To check for bottoming out, sit on the cushion, with the cover
on 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 lest 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 cli-nician. Usually bottoming out is easily solved by
ordering additional fluid in the form of an Overfill. Call your
local authorized supplier to see if this is appropriate for you.
