10) Slide your hand palm down between the cushion surface and the user's buttocks (see
fig. 15).
INFORMATION: You should be able to feel the ischial tuberosity.
11) Keep your hand under the user's ischial tuberosity and rotate the valve anti-clockwise to
slowly let out air (see fig. 11).
12) Allow the air insert to sink until your fingertips can only move up and down over a
distance of 20–25 mm (see fig. 16).
13) Close the valve by turning it clockwise (see fig. 14).
14) Wiggle your fingers to ensure the correct clearance. If there is
less than 20 mm [< 0.8 in]
clearance between the user and the wheelchair seat, air must be added and the process
repeated.
INFORMATION: A hand check must be performed daily for all dry air flotation cush­
ions. The seat cushion needs to be readjusted only when there is a change in clear­
ance during a hand check, or after a puncture in the air insert has been repaired.
15) Slide the valve into the cover and close the zip.
7 Use
7.1 Positioning
CAUTION
Damage to the product, unexpected noise or odours
Health problems for the user due to improper handling
►
Stop using the product immediately in the event of defects or other hazards that can result in
personal injury, or if there are noises or smells that greatly differ from the delivered condition
of the product.
►
Contact the qualified personnel.
► Report damage to the product that may cause health problems for the user to Ottobock.
INFORMATION
► Place the seat cushion in the middle of the seat so that there is sufficient space on all sides
for the wheels and frame.
►
Optimum pressure redistribution is ensured when the leg support of the wheelchair is adjus­
ted so that the thigh of the user completely rests on the seat cushion.
► Regularly remove dust and dirt particles from the hook-and-loop strap at the bottom so that
the seat cushion remains firmly in place.
Correct positioning of the seat cushion in the wheelchair must be maintained for daily use:
•
The label that says "REAR" points towards the back support (see fig. 5).
• The flat side points downwards, the contoured side points upwards.
• The hook-and-loop strap on the cover faces the wheelchair's seat bottom. It is used to attach
the seat cushion in the wheelchair.
7.2 Removing/putting on the cover
Removing the cover
The cover can be removed for washing the seat cushion:
1) Unzip the cover along all three sides (see fig. 17).
2) Lift up the cover from the seating surface of the seat cushion (see fig. 18).
3) Pull the tube on the air insert out of the cover (see fig. 19).
