Warnings
• Inspect skin before and after product use. Any redness, bruising, or darkened
area (when compared to normal skin) may indicate the beginning of soft tissue
breakdown and needs to be addressed. STOP USE if any discoloration does
NOT disappear within 30 minutes after transferring from the product. Consult a
healthcare professional immediately.
• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
• DO NOT use an under-inflated or over-inflated cushion. Doing so reduces or
eliminates the cushion’s benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue.
If your cushion does not appear to be holding air, see TROUBLESHOOTING. If your
cushion is still not holding air, contact your clinical caregiver, distributor, or ROHO,
Inc. immediately.
• DO NOT use your cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other products or
materials, unless otherwise indicated to do so 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 your clinician for proper usage.
• The cushioning device 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 falls.
• DO NOT place any obstructions (except for a ROHO provided cushion cover) between
the individual and the cushion. Doing so may reduce product effectiveness. Consult
with your clinician for proper usage.
• DO NOT use your cushion as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). The
cushion will NOT support you in water.
Intended Use
The ROHO®SOFFLEX®Cushion (SOFFLEX Cushion) is an adjustable, air-filled, segmented-
design wheelchair support surface and is intended to conform to an individual’s seated
shape to provide skin/soft tissue protection. There is a weight limit of 300 lbs./136 kg., and
the cushion must be properly sized to the individual.
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. ROHO, Inc.
recommends that a clinician make product recommendations based upon an evaluation of
the individual’s medical and therapeutic needs and overall condition.
