Mattress Overlay - Entrapment and Fall Risks: Medical experts and governmental entities
in various countries have determined that the use of side rails on beds may present a
life-threatening entrapment danger to the individual. Bed frame side rail usage is not a
requirement for the functional operation of any ROHO product; however, the use of side rails
may be clinically indicated for certain individuals. The decision whether to use side rails
should be based upon applicable laws, regulations, the individual’s condition and needs, and
a case-by-case assessment by clinicians and / or healthcare providers actively involved in
the individual’s care. Such an assessment may include, but not be limited to: the individual’s
physique, overall condition, level of confusion or cognitive impairment (with or without
medication), mobility (or lack thereof), history of falls, combativeness, attempts to get out of
bed, uncontrolled body movement, and frustration when confined.
Knowledgeable and properly trained caregivers should:
• In the event a decision is made to use side rails, ensure that any risks associated with
the individual becoming entrapped in the side rails are identified and steps are taken to
minimize such risks.
• In the event a decision is made not to use side rails, ensure that any risks associated
with the individual falling out of bed are identified and steps are taken to minimize
such risks.
• Determine whether to use pads, bolsters, alarms, high-low beds, or other positioning
aids and safety devices that are available on the market to reduce the risk of
entrapment or falls.
• Suffocation Risk: The ROHO SOFFLEX 2 Mattress Overlay (SOFFLEX 2) and ROHO PRODIGY
Mattress Overlay (PRODIGY) should not be used by infants or other individuals who are at
risk of suffocation.
• Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by
individual. Check skin daily. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (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 and adjustment frequently, at least once a day!
• Ensure that product sections are snapped together before and during use.
• Weight Limit: The mattress overlay should be correctly sized to the individual and the bed
mattress. If it is NOT, the product’s benefits may be reduced or eliminated, increasing risk
to skin and other soft tissue.
• DO NOT use ROHO® Mattress Overlay Enclosure Cover (Overlay Enclosure Cover) handles
to lift or slide the individual, as it may result in injury.
• While properly adjusted mattress overlays will protect the individual from tissue trauma,
they do not eliminate the need for periodic individual turning.
• It is important that the product be set up by knowledgeable caregivers who are properly
trained in the use of this product.
WARNINGS

5
• PROPER INFLATION: Refer to the Adjustment Instructions for proper inflation guidelines.
Proper inflation offers the maximum therapeutic benefit to the individual. Please note that
a product that has been properly adjusted for the specific individual may appear under-
inflated when unoccupied; this is because the individual’s body mass is no longer loading
the product. The use of any inflation device other than the supplied hand pump may
damage the product and void the warranty.
•DO NOT use an under-inflated or over-inflated product. Doing so reduces or eliminates the
product’s benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue.
If your product does not appear to be holding air, see TROUBLESHOOTING. If your
product is still not holding air, contact your clinical caregiver, distributor, or ROHO, Inc.
immediately.
• The cushioning products featured in this operation manual are NOT recommended for use
with x-rays due to potential radiopacities, which may interfere with diagnoses or surgical
procedures that require radiographic images.
• Placing too many linens or other materials between the product and the individual will
reduce the product’s effectiveness.
• DO NOT use the product as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT
support you in water.
• Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your product.
• Keep the product away from sharp objects, which may puncture the air cells and cause
deflation.
• DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
• If a product has been in temperatures less than 32°F / 0°C and exhibits unusual stiffness,
allow the product to warm to room temperature, then open air valve(s). Roll and unroll the
product until the material is soft and pliable again. Repeat adjustment instructions before
using.
• DO NOT use any valve or air cell as a handle for carrying or pulling the product. Grasp
mattress overlay sections by the base or the outside edges. DO NOT use the product as a
transfer surface. DO NOT re-position the product while it is in use.
• DO NOT allow oil-based lotions or lanolin to come in contact with the product as they may
degrade the material.
• Prolonged exposure to ozone will degrade the product and may affect the performance of the
product and invalidate the product warranty.
• Straps must be attached for use with the SOFFLEX 2 and the PRODIGY unless used with the
Overlay Enclosure Cover. The Overlay Enclosure Cover straps must be secured to the bed
mattress when the cover is in use.

functioning.
To clean the Reusable Overlay Cover and Overlay Enclosure Cover:
Remove cover from mattress overlay. Machine wash, gentle cycle, in cold
water (30˚C) with a mild detergent. May also wipe clean with neutral
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry low.
NOTE: DO NOT dry clean the Reusable Overlay Cover.
To disinfect the Reusable Overlay Cover and Overlay Enclosure Cover:
Hand wash, using a dilution of one part household bleach to nine parts water.
Quaternary-type disinfectants may also be used in concentrations recommended
by the manufacturer. Rinse thoroughly. NOTE: The cover may be machine washed
occasionally in hot water (60˚C) for disinfection. However, ROHO, Inc.
recommends against repeated washings at high temperatures, as this
can accelerate degradation of the cover. Tumble dry low.
NOTE: Follow guidelines on bleach or disinfectant container.
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS, Continued

13
CLEANING & DISINFECTING, Continued
To clean the air-filled products featured in this manual:
Remove all linens and/or straps. Turn valve(s) clockwise to close and place product in large
sink. Use mild liquid hand soap, hand dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, or multipurpose
detergent that is used for general cleaning. Dilute, following product label directions for surface
cleaning. Use a soft plastic bristle brush, sponge, or wash
cloth to gently scrub all surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water and air dry.
To disinfect the air-filled products featured in this manual:
Repeat cleaning instructions. Use a solution of 1 part household liquid bleach per 9 parts of
warm water. Follow safety guidelines on bleach product label. Keep the clean product wet with
bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and air dry. NOTE: Most
germicidal disinfectants are safe if used
following the disinfectant manufacturer’s
dilution directions.
Note on Sterilization: ROHO products are not packaged in a sterile condition, nor are they
intended or required to be sterilized prior to usage. High temperatures accelerate aging and
may cause damage to the product assembly. If institution protocol demands sterilization,
open the valve(s) and use the lowest temperature possible for the shortest time possible.
Gas sterilization is preferable to steam autoclave, but neither is recommended. In any
process using pressure, ensure all valves are open to prevent damage to the product. ROHO,
Inc. highly discourages sterilization methods using temperatures greater than 200° F (93°
C) for DRY FLOATATION products or the Thyroid Pillow and 160° F (71°C) for Air Floatation
Mattress Overlays.
DISPOSAL

• Cubierta de Colchón - Riesgos de Atrapamiento y Caídas: Los expertos médicos y
entidades gubernamentales de varios países han determinado que el uso de barandas en
las camas puede presentar un peligro de atrapamiento letal para la persona. El uso de
barandas en el marco de la cama no es un requisito para la operación funcional de ningún
producto ROHO, sin embargo, su uso puede ser indicado clínicamente para ciertas personas.
La decisión de utilizar las barandas se debe basar en las leyes, reglamentos aplicables, en
las condiciones y necesidades de la persona, y en una evaluación del caso de los clínicos
y/o profesionales de la salud que participan activamente en el cuidado de la persona. Esta
evaluación puede incluir, pero no se limita a: el físico de la persona, su estado general, nivel
de confusión o deterioro cognitivo (con o sin medicación), movilidad (o falta de la misma),
historial de caídas, agresividad, intentos de salir de la cama, movimiento corporal sin
control y frustración en caso de confinamiento.
Los cuidadores informados y debidamente capacitados deben:
• En caso de que se tome la decisión de utilizar barandas, asegurar que se identifiquen los
riesgos asociados con la persona quedándose atrapada en las barandas y se tomen las
medidas para minimizar estos riesgos.
• En caso de que se tome la decisión de utilizar barandas, asegurar que se identifiquen
los riesgos asociados con la persona cayéndose de la cama y se tomen las medidas para
minimizar estos riesgos.
• Determinar si utilizarán cojines, almohadones, alarmas, camas ortopédicas, u otras
ayudas de posicionamiento y dispositivos de seguridad que están disponibles en el
mercado para reducir el riesgo de atrapamiento o caídas.
• Riesgo de Asfixia: No se debe utilizar la Cubierta de Colchón ROHO SOFFLEX 2 (SOFFLEX 2)
y la Cubierta de Colchón ROHO PRODIGY (PRODIGY) para niños u otras personas que tienen
riesgo de asfixia.
• Puede ocurrir degradación del tejido blando/piel debido a una serie de factores, que
varían según la persona. Revise la piel cada día. El enrojecimiento, moretones, o áreas más
oscuras (comparadas con la piel normal) pueden indicar el inicio de degradación del tejido
blando y se debe ser tratado. DETENGA SU USO si cualquier decoloración NO desaparece
dentro de 30 minutos después de no utilizar el producto. Consulte a un profesional de la
salud inmediatamente.
• ¡Revise el inflado y ajuste frecuentemente, por lo menos una vez al día!
• Asegúrese que las secciones del producto estén abrochadas, antes y durante su uso.
• Límite de Peso: La cubierta de colchón debe ser del tamaño correcto para la persona y
el colchón de la cama. Si NO lo es, los beneficios del producto pueden ser reducidos o
eliminados, lo que aumenta el riesgo para la piel y otros tejidos blandos.
• NO use las agarraderas de la Funda de la Cubierta de Colchón ROHO® (Funda de la
Cubierta) para levantar o deslizar a la persona, ya que puede provocar lesiones.
• Si bien las cubiertas de colchones bien ajustadas protegerán a la persona contra el
trauma del tejido, no eliminan la necesidad de girar a la persona periódicamente.
• Es importante que el producto sea colocado por cuidadores expertos que están
debidamente capacitados en el uso de este producto.

• INFLADO ADECUADO: Consulte las Instrucciones de Ajuste para conocer las directrices del
inflado adecuado. El inflado adecuado ofrece el máximo beneficio terapéutico a la persona.
Tenga en cuenta que un producto que ha sido ajustado correctamente para el persona
específica puede aparecer inflado en exceso cuando esté desocupado; esto se debe a que
la masa corporal de la persona ya no está poniendo carga sobre el producto. El uso de
cualquier dispositivo de inflado distinto a la bomba manual suministrada puede dañar el
producto y anular la garantía.
• NO use un producto inflado en exceso o no lo suficiente. Hacerlo reduce o elimina los
beneficios del producto, aumentando el riesgo para la piel y otros tejidos blandos.
Si su producto no parece sostener el aire, consulte la SOLUCIÓN DE PROBLEMAS. Si
su producto aún no está sosteniendo el aire, contacte a su cuidador clínico, a su
distribuidor o a ROHO, Inc. inmediatamente.
• Los productos de acolchamiento que aparecen en este manual de operación NO se
recomiendan para su uso con rayos X debido a las radiopacidades potenciales que
pueden interferir con el diagnóstico o procedimientos quirúrgicos que requieren
imágenes radiográficas.
• Colocar demasiada ropa de cama u otros materiales entre el producto y la persona
reducirá la eficacia del producto.
• NO use el producto como un dispositivo de flotación en el agua (por ejemplo, un chaleco
salvavidas). NO le dará soporte en el agua.
• Los cambios de altitud pueden requerir un ajuste de su producto.
• Mantenga el producto lejos de objetos afilados, éstos pueden perforar las celdas de aire y
desinflar el producto.
• NO exponga el producto al calor intenso, llamas vivas o cenizas calientes.
• Si un producto ha estado en temperaturas menores a 32°F/0°C y presenta rigidez inusual,
permita que el producto se caliente a temperatura ambiente, luego abra la(s) válvula(s) de
aire. Enrolle y desenrolle el producto hasta que el material esté suave y plegable de nuevo.
Repita las instrucciones de ajuste antes de usarlo.
• NO utilice ninguna válvula o celda de aire como agarradera para llevar o jalar del producto.
Sujete las secciones de la cubierta de colchón por la base o de los bordes exteriores.
NO utilice el producto como una superficie de transferencia. NO cambie la posición del
producto mientras está en uso.
• NO permita que lociones a base de aceite o lanolina entren en contacto con el producto, ya
que pueden degradar el material.
• La exposición prolongada a ozono degradará el producto y puede afectar el funcionamiento
del mismo e invalidar la garantía del producto.
• Se debe adjuntar las correas para su uso con el SOFFLEX 2 y PRODIGY a menos que se use
con la Funda de la Cubierta. Las correas de la Funda de la Cubierta deben fijarse al colchón
de la cama cuando se use la funda.
