adjust to the proper cushion inflation setting:

position. The cushion should be centered beneath
the individual.
2. Perform a hand check:
a. Slide your hand between
the cushion and the
individual. Lift the leg

(typically every 3-4 months).
• If you can slightly move your fingertips: the
cushion is at the Proper Cushion Inflation
Setting (½" - 1" air between the lowest bony
prominence and the seat surface) and no
further adjustment is needed.
• If you can easily move your fingertips: there
is too much air between the lowest bony part
prominence and the seat surface. Open the
inflation valve and slowly release air until you
can barely move your fingertips, then close
the valve.
• If you cannot move your fingertips at all:
there is too little/no air between the lowest
bony prominence and the seat surface. Open
the inflation valve and slowly add air until
you can slightly move your fingertips, then
close the valve.
