WHAT IS BOTTOMING OUT?
Bottoming out may occur on a JAY Balance 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.
WARNING!
• 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 (FIG. 5.0)
JAY® Flow Fluid Pad or JAY® Fluid with Cryo® Technology 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" (13 mm) of fluid
before you feel the firm cushion base below.
If the cushion is properly positioned, the footrests are properly
adjusted, and there is not at least the minimum 1/2" (13 mm) 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. Call your local authorized supplier
to see if this is appropriate for you.
