Transfer - Warnings:
- Before the user transfers to the product, the air insert must be securely installed on the Tru-Shape seating
surface. A cover, if used, should be correctly installed.
- Before performing a Hand Check, the user must transfer to the product in their usual sitting position.
3 Perform a Hand Check:
During a Hand Check, you will use the width of the fingers to see if the air cells
are properly inflated*. When the air cells are properly inflated, the user is both
immersed in the air cells and supported by the air cells.
a. Slide your hand between the air cells and the user, and feel for the user's
lowest bony prominences**.
b. Refer to the Hand Check Guide below to adjust the air insert.
**Suggestion: To help locate the bony prominences while performing a hand check, lift
and lower the leg.
Hand Check Guide
Place a hand beneath the
lowest bony prominences (ITs)
and make sure there is at least
½ in. (1.5 cm) of air.
If the air cells are not properly
inflated, add or remove a small
amount of air. Repeat until the
air cells are properly inflated.
