Contraindication: Based on clinical, scientic or engineering evidence, these products may not be suitable
for individuals who require accommodation of pelvic asymmetry greater than ___ in. (___cm), as specied

A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should determine whether the product is
appropriate for the individual’s particular seating needs. The product’s intended use statement alone should
not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen
that includes all seating and mobility equipment and therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced
in seating and positioning should identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual’s physical needs
and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for
caregiver assistance or the need for other assistive technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure
proper product use.

ROHO DRY FLOATATION Cushion Operation Manual - Dual Compartment, Single Compartment, Sensor Ready
Important Safety Information
Warnings:
- Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual. Check skin
frequently, at least once a day. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin)
may indicate supercial or deep tissue injury and should be addressed. If there is any discoloration
to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes
after disuse, immediately consult a healthcare professional.
- The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used as directed in this manual.
IF THEY ARE NOT: 1) The benets provided by the cushion may be reduced or eliminated, increasing
the risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may become unstable and vulnerable to
falling.
- If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance by contacting your
clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support.
- DO NOT use your cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other products or materials, except
as indicated in this manual. Doing so may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to
falling. If your cushion feels unstable, see "Troubleshooting" or consult with a clinician for proper use.
- DO NOT place any obstructions between the individual and the cushion. USE ONLY a compatible
cover with the cushion; placing any other item directly under the individual, whether inside or outside
the cover, will make the cushion less effective.
- DO NOT use your cushion as a water otation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT support you
in water.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature. Take appropriate precautions,
especially when the cushion will contact unprotected skin.
- DO NOT expose your cushion to high heat, open ames or hot ashes. Testing or certication claims,
including for ammability, may no longer apply to this device when it is combined with other products
or materials. Check testing and certication claims for all products used in combination with this
device.
- Use caution when handling the cushion: Metal grommets on the corners may be a nger trap hazard.
Cautions:
- DO NOT use a pump, cover or repair kit other than those compatible with your product.
- DO NOT modify the cushion or any components. Doing so may result in damage to the product and
will void the warranty.
- DO NOT allow your cushion to come into contact with oil-based lotions or lanolin. They may degrade
the material.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushion, affect the performance of
the cushion, and void the product warranty.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your cushion.
- Keep your cushion away from sharp objects.
- If the cushion has been in temperatures lower than 32° F (0° C) and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow
the cushion to warm to room temperature.
- Periodically, check the cover and components for damage and replace if necessary.
- DO NOT use the ination valve(s), the quick disconnect, or hose(s) as a handle for carrying or pulling
the cushion. Carry the cushion by the cushion base or by the carrying handle on the cover.
