Set-up of Cushionair cushion:
The Cushionair cushion is a powered alternating air
cushion. Regular alternation of the cell inflation
stimulates blood flow which can help heal skin tissue.
Below is a guide for setting up the Cushionair cushion
for Configura ® chairs. Please note that professional
input may be required from a Tissue Viability Nurse or
District Nurse. This guidance should be used in
conjunction with regular monitoring of the user’s
pressure care requirements. A cushion is just one of
many factors influencing the risk of developing
pressure damage.
1) Ensure the cushion is fitted to the chair correctly
as per the instructions below (note that there are
two versions of the Cushionair cushion – one with
a cover and one without).
2) Ensure the cushion is switched on and that the
green light is showing on the pump.
3) Ensure the pipes are channelled through the
back of the chair correctly and that the pump is
in a safe place behind the chair.
4) When the cells have fully inflated, transfer the user
onto the chair.
5) Use the following guidance as an approximation
for the setting on the dial of the pump according
to the approximate user weight:
1 bar approx. 40 kg
2 bars approx. 50 kg
3 bars approx. 60 kg
4 bars approx. 70 kg
5 bars approx. 80 kg
6 bars approx. 90 kg
7 bars approx. 100 kg
8 bars approx. 120 kg
9 bars approx. 140 kg
10 bars approx. 160 kg

6) Check with the user that the cushion feels
comfortable. Adjust as necessary until the
maximum comfort level is achieved
7) If the user is unable to provide feedback about
the comfort level, you have to make an informed
decision taking into account the weight levels
above.
NB: please note that the weight guidance in point
5) should only be used as a guide. A user who is tall
and thin would require a different setting to a user
who is shorter but may weigh the same.
