CUSHION ADJUSTABILITY
Fluid and Air Adjustability
The J3 Cushion offers volume adjustability to accommodate for
users needs through four models, the "Factory Filled" or the "Field
Variable" model.
The determination of Air Single or Air Dual Models is made by
your clinician during evaluation. The inserts should only be
changed at the direction of your clinician.
The fluid field variable insert has the ability to adjust to the user's
need over time. Your supplier will be involved in the adjustment
once it is determined to be needed for better clinical efficacy.
Adjusting through the "Field Variable Volume" J3 Cushion
The Field Variable version of the J3 Cushion allows the appropriate
healthcare provider to apply a specified amount of fluid at the time
of prescription and to modify the amount of fluid if needs change
through the use of discreet Fluid Supplement Pads. This method of
adjustment is useful where there is no concern of unqualified fluid
adjustments occurring after prescription.
Adjusting through the ROHO
Insert
The air insert version of the JAY J3 Cushion can be adjusted at any
time through the use of the hand pump (provided) and release
valve on the ROHO ® DRY FLOATATION
The Field Variable Fluid Pad comes standard with 2 Fluid
Supplement Pads and has a Blue Urethane Cover to differ-
entiate it versus the standard grey urethane on the Factory
Filled Fluid Pad. This color difference identifies that the Blue
Fluid Pad comes underfilled in comparison to the Factory
Filled Pad, and has 4 velcro attachment points to attach the
standard Fluid Supplement pads to handle obliquities, and
overfills. To determine how to use the Fluid Supplement
Pads, please reference the "Fitting a Pressure Distributing
Cushion" section.

Using Fluid Supplements pads
Fluid Supplement Pads are to be only used with the Field Variable
Fluid Pad. To determine if you have a Field Variable Fluid Pad, unzip
the cushion cover, and look at the pad in the Pelvic Loading Area. If
the pad has blue outer cover, it is a Field Variable Fluid pad and
designed to work with Fluid Supplement Pads.
An authorized clinician or therapist should use Fluid Supplement
Pads by attaching or removing to the Fluid Pad Velcro Attachment
points located between the folds on the upper Fluid Pad surface to
increase or decrease the amount of fluid needed.
Fitting the cushion
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated posi-
tion. The cushion length should extend to within 1" - 2" (2.5cm -
5cm) from the back of the knees. Place the cushion to the back of
the wheelchair with the material identification tags and pressure
relieving pad toward the rear. When fit correctly, your hips should
be to the back of the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be
centered on the insert in the pelvic loading area of the cushion.
Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting comfort and help
lower peak sitting pressures . Adjust the footrests so your legs rest
firmly but comfortably on the cushion.
Use the cushion indexing notches located in the rear of the foam
base to ensure proper alignment of the cushion to the backrest.
Misalignment of the insert and pelvic loading area could lead to
injury and skin breakdown.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery.
Stretched upholstery does not provide adequate support for the
cushion and improper positioning may result. Replace stretched
upholstery or purchase the Jay Adjustable Solid Seat.
Reference the ROHO ® DRY FLOATATION
Supplement for proper fitting and set-up instructions.
