“Bottoming Out” Test
1
Check system is in alternation mode by
ensuring the indicator above the ALT button
is illuminated ,and that one set of air cells is
infl ated while the other set is defl ated.
You may need to unzip the cover to feel the
cells for infl ation.
2
With the patient lying supine, unzip one side
of the top cover just past sacral region (lower
spine).
3
Slide your hand underneath the patient and
feel for a defl ated cell under the patient’s
lower spine. The inner static cell will remain
infl ated, however your hand should easily
slide between patient and base.
4
If your hand can pass under the patient, then
patient is adequately suspended. If not,
ma nu al ly a dj us t pr es su re to ‘fi rmer’ and wait
at least one cycle (12 minutes) for pressure
to increase before repeating step 3.
If man ua l p res su re a dj us tm en t fa ils , p re ss

Wait at least one cycle (12 minutes) for
pressure to reach maximum pressure, then
press Alt to return to an alternation cycle.
Wait at least one more cycle (12 minutes) for
pressure to increase before repeating step 3.

We recommend repeating the Bottoming Out
test at least 12 minutes after any manual
pressure readjustment.
