Setup, continued
SETUP - PART FOUR: Transferring to the wheelchair (and POSITIONING, if needed):
Before transferring, make
sure the inflation valve is
closed. The individual should
transfer to the wheelchair
and sit in their usual sitting
position.
Note: The inflation valve
should be in the front, on
the left side of the seated
individual.
SETUP - PART FIVE: Transition and Immersion Checks
Warning: Skin/soft tissue injury may result if the transition from air cells to the foam base is not level, due to overinflated or underinflated
air cells. The air cells must not be overinflated. Refer to the warning about overinflation/underinflation in the "Important Safety Information"
section of this manual.
IMPORTANT! It may be necessary to re-check and re-adjust the Transition and Immersion areas, to ensure proper inflation.
FIRST: Transition Check: Make sure the transition from the air cells to the foam is level, in the area indicated.
Instructions: Place a hand beneath the individual, where the air cells meet the foam base (indicated by the oval shape), and feel the transition
from air pad to foam. Follow the instructions below.
Proper Inflation
It feels LEVEL where the air cells meet
the foam. There is no bump or ridge of
overlapping air cells and foam.
What to do: Perform an immersion check,
as shown below.
SECOND: Immersion Check: After the air cells are properly inflated to ensure a level Transition from air cells to foam, check to make
sure there is enough air (or space) under the ITs.
With the IT Air Pad: Place a hand beneath the lowest bony
prominences (ITs) and make sure there is at least ½" of air. Add or
remove a small amount of air, if needed. Repeat until the air cells are
properly inflated.

WARNING: To ensure the product performs as intended: Make sure that the back corners of the cushion contact the back canes of the
wheelchair. Check for interference with other wheelchair components. Make sure that the wheelchair foot supports and back support are
correctly positioned.

Reminder! The ISOFLO must be open while adding or removing air.
Too much air in the air cells
It feels like a bump or ridge of air cells lying on
top of foam. The air cells are too high.
What to do: Remove a small amount of air
and check again. Repeat as needed until the
air cells are properly inflated. Then, perform an
immersion check, as shown below.
Underinflated
(with the IT Air Pad)
If a clinician determines that POSITIONING is needed:
After inflating all air cells to atmospheric pressure and
transferring to the wheelchair: Make sure the ISOFLO is
unlocked. Perform the prescribed positioning. Then, lock
the ISOFLO to maintain the position.
See the ISOFLO Memory Control section in this manual.
It feels like a bump or ridge of foam. The air
cells are not level with the foam.
What to do: Add a small amount of air and
check again. Repeat as needed until the air
cells are properly inflated. Then, perform an
immersion check, as shown below.
Without the IT Air Pad (Offloading Option): Place a hand beneath
the lowest bony prominences (ITs) and make sure that the ITs do not
contact the foam. Add or remove a small amount of air, if needed.
Repeat until the air cells are properly inflated.
