ROHO Special Application Cushioning Devices Operation Manual
Important Safety Information
ROHO medical products are intended to be part of an overall care regimen. ROHO, Inc.
recommends that a clinician make product recommendations based upon an evaluation of
the individual’s medical and therapeutic needs and overall condition.
Warnings
• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
• Check skin frequently, at least once a day. Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur
due to a number of factors, which vary by individual. Redness, bruising, or darker
areas (when compared to normal skin) may indicate the beginning of soft tissue
breakdown. Consult with a clinician immediately.
• The cushioning device and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be
used as directed in this manual. IF THEY ARE NOT: 1) The benefits provided by the
cushioning device 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.
• DO NOT use your cushioning device 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.
• DO NOT use your cushioning device as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life
Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.
• Use caution when skin will contact the seating surface. Tissue damage may result
from increased friction.
• DO NOT use an under-inflated cushioning device or an over-inflated cushioning
device because the product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in
an increased risk to skin and other soft tissue. If the cushioning device does not
appear to be holding air, or if you are not able to inflate or deflate the cushioning
device, see TROUBLESHOOTING. Immediately contact your clinical caregiver,
distributor, or ROHO, Inc. if the problem persists.
• If you are UNABLE TO PERFORM ANY TASKS described in this manual, seek
assistance.
Cautions
• Keep your cushioning device away from sharp objects.
• DO NOT expose your cushioning device to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
• DO NOT allow your cushioning device to come into contact with oil-based lotions or lanolin.
They may degrade the material.
• Changes in altitude may require adjustment to a DRY FLOATATION cushioning device.
• Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushioning device,
affect the performance of the product, and void the product warranty.
• DO NOT use an inflation valve as a handle for carrying or pulling your DRY FLOATATION
cushioning device. Carry your cushioning device by the cushion base or the carrying
handle on the cover.

Cautions, Continued
• If a DRY FLOATATION cushioning device has been in temperatures lower than 32°F (0°C),
and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow the cushioning device to warm to room temperature.

may void your product's warranty.
