What Is Bottoming-Out?
Bottoming-out may occur on a J3 Cushion if you displace
the fluid 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, people who slouch when
sitting or a person using a PLA (pelvic loading area)
inappropriately sized for their pelvis.
WARNING
When bottoming-out occurs, increased pressure is placed
onto the ischials and coccyx increasing the risk of skin
breakdown. Immediately discontinue use of the pad. See
your health care professional.
How To Check For Bottoming-Out
To check for bottoming-out, sit on the cushion with the
cover on and the zipper opened for at least two 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 least
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 clinician. Usually bottoming-out is easily
solved by ordering additional fluid in the form of an Overfill
on the Factory Filled model. On the Field Variable version,
you can use the Fluid Supplement pads to add additional
fluid. Call your local supplier to see if this is appropriate for
you.
When To Check
Check your cushion and
fluid pad every month
when you clean it.
