STEP 5: Slide your hand beneath
your buttocks to locate your lowest
bony prominence, usually the ischial
tuberosities. Ask your clinician or
caregiver to perform this step if you
are unable to do so.
STEP 6: Leaving one hand in place
beneath the lowest bony prominence,
use the other hand to open the valve.
As air is released from the cushion,
you will begin to sink into it. When
your fingertips touch the base, close
the valve. Approximately
1
/
2
” or 1.25
cm of air should now be between your
lowest bony prominence and the base
of the cushion.
STEP 7*: Position yourself on the
cushion in the posture you want to
maintain. If necessary, your clinician
or caregiver should assist you. Allow
the air to transfer to accommodate
your position. Once you are properly
positioned, push the ISOFLO Control
Unit’s red knob toward the center, in
the LOCKED position. This will isolate
the flow of air to provide a more stable
sitting position.
STEP 8: Check your immersion by
sliding your hand under your lowest
bony prominence to ensure you have
not bottomed out. Be sure to check
your immersion in each quadrant of the
cushion. If you wish to change your
positioning for various activities,
UNLOCK the ISOFLO Control Unit by
pushing the green knob toward the
center and repeat Steps 7 and 8.
* You have the option to skip Step 7 if you are not interested in using the extra
stability and positioning features of the QUADTRO SELECT or CONTOUR SELECT
Cushions.
