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

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.
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 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.
