Smart Check by ROHO Operation Manual
Intended Use
Smart Check™by ROHO®(Smart Check) is a cushion feedback system that is intended to assist the user by saving an
inflation range during cushion setup. During subsequent inflation level checks, Smart Check is intended to indicate
whether adjustments are needed to remain in the saved range.
Smart Check must be connected to a ROHO®Single Compartment Cushion with Sensor Ready™Technology (Sensor
Ready Cushion).
Important Safety Information
• Read this instruction manual carefully and completely before using the product.
• 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 (for example, potential allergic reactions). Use of this device does not eliminate routine inspection
of the product and all normal activities associated with skin and soft tissue protection (weight shifts, skin
inspection, overall skin care, etc.)
Warnings
• Smart Check by ROHO has been designed for use only with the ROHO Sensor Ready Cushion. Using a cushion
that is not a ROHO Sensor Ready Cushion will affect Smart Check functions, reduce or eliminate the benefits of
the cushion, and increase risk to skin and other soft tissue. Using a cushion that is not a ROHO Sensor Ready
Cushion may also result in damage to Smart Check and will void the warranty.
• DO NOT use an under-inflated cushion or an over-inflated cushion because the product benefits will be reduced
or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin and other soft tissue. If the cushion does not appear to be
holding air, or if you are not able to inflate or deflate the cushion, see the TroubleshooTing section of the manual
that was provided with the cushion. Immediately contact your clinical caregiver, distributor, or ROHO, Inc. if the
problem persists.
• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day, using the Smart Check or a hand check.
• Perform Smart Setup or Optional Setup again if the following changes occur: 1) a different individual is
using Smart Check; 2) a different chair or a different cushion is being used; or 3) the individual experiences
physiological changes (for example, weight loss or weight gain). Before performing a new Setup, you must clear
your Smart Check setting; see hard reseT insTrucTions.
•KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A TENDENCY TO PLACE INEDIBLE
OBJECTS IN THEIR MOUTHS. Swallowing or inhalation may lead to serious injury or death. IMMEDIATELY seek
emergency medical assistance.
• USE CAUTION when in presence of children to avoid a strangulation hazard. Detach Smart Check when not in
use and store in a safe and accessible location.

Smart Check by ROHO Operation Manual
Important Safety Information, Continued
Warnings, Continued
• Using an accessory (for example, a pump or a cushion cover) other than those provided by ROHO, Inc., may be
unsafe and could void the product warranty.
• DO NOT modify Smart Check or any components. Doing so may result in damage to the product and will void the
warranty.
•DO NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics and/or in an oxygen-rich environment. Doing so will
increase the risk of fire or explosion.
• If your cushion feels unstable during Smart Setup, perform a Hard Reset and then repeat Smart Setup. If you
still feel unstable, perform an Optional Setup and consult with a healthcare provider.
• The cushion MUST be properly sized to the user. IF IT IS NOT, Smart Check may not find the individual’s inflation
range during Smart Setup, reducing or eliminating the benefits of the cushion and increasing the risk to skin
and other soft tissue.
• All aspects of Smart Check use described in this manual can be performed by the individual or by a caregiver. If
you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance.
• BURN HAZARD: If ambient temperature exceeds 47°C (117°F), DO NOT maintain contact with product surface for
more than ten (10) minutes.
• Smart Check MUST be used ONLY with a compatible ROHO cushion cover. Use of a different cover may interfere
with the accuracy of Smart Check functions.
• DO NOT perform maintenance on Smart Check while it is in use. Doing so may result in improper functioning.
• Set up your cushion in the usual environmental conditions. Perform Check when environmental conditions,
including temperature and altitude, change significantly.
Cautions
• Daily: Inspect Smart Check quick disconnect, tubing, and device housing for wear or breakage, and to ensure inter-
component attachment. DO NOT continue to use Smart Check if any part is damaged or cannot be attached securely.
ROHO, Inc. recommends that Smart Check be inspected periodically by a qualified technician.
• DO NOT submerge Smart Check in liquid, as it will damage the device.
• Protect Smart Check from blunt force shocks that may cause damage and/or breakage.
• DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames, or hot ashes.
• DO NOT use the inflation valve or any Smart Check components as a handle for carrying or for pulling the cushion.
• Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade some of the materials used in the manufacture of this product, affect the
performance of this product, and void the product warranty.
• Prolonged exposure to UV light / sunlight may cause product labels to fade.

Check Instructions
Perform a Check after completing Setup (Smart Setup or Optional Setup).
Check Table
NOTE: After you perform a Check, you may choose to perform a Hand Check to become familiar with your inflation range. See the hand check GuIde.
NOTE: You may be able to add or remove a small amount of air and still be at your cushion inflation setting. Smart Check saves your cushion
inflation setting with some room for adjustment.

See overvIew for more information.
Your cushion is now set up. (Next: See CheCk InstruCtIons.)
Hand Check Guide
Use this guide to adjust your cushion during Optional Setup.
A hand check is also recommended after performing Smart Setup so you will have a
reference point if you need to adjust your cushion without Smart Check (for example, if
the device has been misplaced).
1. Place your hand between yourself and the cushion. Feel for the lowest bony
prominence. You should be able to slightly move your fingertips. The recommended
distance between the individual and the seating surface is ½ - 1 inch (1.5 cm to 2.5 cm).
2. If it feels like the cushion has too much air or not enough air, adjust as needed and see check InStructIonS and overvIew.
½" - 1" (1.5 - 2.5 cm)
Before you perform a hand check, refer to imporTanT safeTy informaTion and read
the warning about using an under-inflated cushion or an over-inflated cushion.
