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.
