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.
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.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion.
The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST
be used as directed in this manual. Except for the compatible
covers listed in "Product Specications" in this manual, placement
of any items between the individual and the cushion: 1) may reduce
or eliminate the benets of the cushion, increasing the risk to skin
or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to become
unstable and vulnerable to falling.
- DO NOT use the cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other
products or materials, except as indicated in this manual. Using
non-compatible products or materials, whether inside or outside
the cover: 1) may reduce or eliminate the benets of the cushion,
increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause
the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
Warnings, continued:
- If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual,
seek assistance by contacting the clinician, equipment provider,
distributor, or Customer Support.
- DO NOT expose the 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.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature.
Take appropriate precautions, especially when the cushion will
contact unprotected skin.
- Use caution when handling the cushion: Metal grommets on the
corners may be a finger trap hazard.
- DO NOT use the cushion as a water otation device (e.g., a Life
Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.

Warnings - Motor Vehicle Transportation:
- Failure to pay attention to these warnings could result in severe
injury to the individual in the wheelchair or to others.
- Whenever possible, transfer out of the wheelchair and into a
manufacturer-installed vehicle seat without the cushion, and use the
vehicle’s crash-tested occupant restraint system.
- The cushion must be correctly and securely installed, used, and
maintained according to the instructions and warnings provided by
the cushion manufacturer.
- When the wheelchair is used as the vehicle seat, the cushion
should only be used with wheelchair frames that are equipped with
securement points specied in ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2017, section
19 (WC19) or ISO 7176-19, and that have been successfully crash
tested on a wheelchair in the forward-facing position.
- The wheelchair with the cushion must be used with an effective
wheelchair securement system and a properly positioned, crash-
tested pelvic and shoulder-belt restraint, or Wheelchair Tiedown and
Occupant Restraint System (WTORS), following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
- If the cushion has been involved in an accident during transport,
check the cushion for damage and replace if necessary. See the
“Troubleshooting” section in this manual.
- For more information about safely transporting wheelchair users,
refer to: http://wctransportation-safety.umtri.umich.edu/ridesafe-
brochure.
- A ROHO QUADTRO SELECT Cushion was included in a
wheelchair seating system that was dynamically tested by a
third-party testing facility for use in a motor vehicle. The system
tested meets all applicable criteria for wheelchair seating systems
proposed in Section 5.1 of ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2017 Section 20
“Wheelchair Seating Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles.
- Test results apply to seating systems intended for use by adults
and children with a total body mass greater than 23 kg (51 lb, or
approximately 6 years of age) who are transported facing forward in
their wheelchairs in all types of motor vehicles.
- To determine whether motor vehicle third-party testing has been
performed with a specic seating system combination, refer to all
provided equipment operation manuals or contact the equipment

the wheelchair. Hook fasteners are available upon request. Refer to the instructions provided with the cover.
A component is damaged. Contact Customer Support for a replacement.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
Note: For cover care instructions, refer to the manual provided with the cover.
Warnings:
- DO NOT allow water or cleaning solution to enter the cushion. Make sure the inflation valve(s) are closed.
- Sensor Ready Cushion: Make sure the Smart Check is detached from the cushion. Water in a cushion with Sensor Ready (SR) technology can result in
damage to the Smart Check and cause a false reading when using Smart Check.
- Cleaning and disinfecting are separate processes. Cleaning must precede disinfection. If the product becomes soiled, or between use by different individuals:
clean, disinfect, and check the product for proper functioning.
- Clean the product regularly and when it becomes soiled.
- Follow all manufacturer bleach container and germicidal disinfectant safety guidelines.
- Note about sterilization: High temperatures accelerate aging and will damage the product assembly. The products featured in this manual are not packaged
in a sterile condition, nor are they intended or required to be sterilized prior to use. If institution protocol demands sterilization: First, follow the cleaning and
disinfecting instructions; then, open the ination valve(s) and use the lowest possible sterilizing temperature, but not to exceed 70°C (158°F), for the shortest
time possible. DO NOT autoclave.
Cautions:
- Use of the following may cause damage to the cushion: abrasives (steel wool, scouring pads); caustic, automatic dishwasher detergents; cleaning products
that contain petroleum or organic solvents, including acetone, toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), naphtha, dry cleaning fluid, adhesive remover; oil-based
lotions, lanolin, ozone gas; ultraviolet light cleaning methods.
- DO NOT expose to direct sunlight.
Recommendation: When washing by hand, use room-temperature water.
Note: Deated air cells may be easier to thoroughly clean. To deate the air cells: with the ination valve(s) open, roll up and/or compress the cushion, and then
completely close the ination valve(s).
Hand Wash and Hand Disinfect the Cushion (Preferred Method)
