ROHO AirLITE Cushion Operation Manual
Intended Use
The ROHO®AirLITE®Cushion (AirLITE) is a wheelchair support surface with a non-
adjustable, air-filled, segmented-design ROHO AIR FLOTATION™insert encased in
contoured foam. The AirLITE is intended to conform to an individual’s seated shape to
provide positioning. There is a weight limit of 300 lbs. (136 kg), and the cushion must be
properly sized to the individual. The AirLITE must be used with the supplied cover.
ROHO, Inc. recommends evaluation by a clinician who is experienced in seating,
positioning and mobility: 1) to determine whether the cushion is appropriate for the
individual; and 2) to determine whether a solid seat platform is recommended if using the
cushion on a sling-seat wheelchair.
ROHO medical products are intended to be part of an overall care regimen. A clinician
should make product recommendations based upon an evaluation of the individual’s
medical and therapeutic needs and overall condition. A clinician should also evaluate for
visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance
with product use, including providing a large-print manual.
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 superficial 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, the benefits provided by the cushion
may be reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk to skin or other soft tissue and
increasing the risk of falling.
-DO NOT use this cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a Life Preserver). It will
NOT support you in water.
-If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance.
-The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature. Take
appropriate precautions, especially when the cushion will contact unprotected skin.
-Testing or certification claims, including for flammability, may no longer apply to
this device when it is combined with other products or materials. Check testing and
certification claims for all products used in combination with this device.
Caution: DO NOT expose cushion to high heat, open flames, or hot ashes.
