ROHO Sensor Ready Cushion Operation Manual
Intended Use
The ROHO®Single Compartment Cushion with Sensor Ready™Technology (Sensor Ready
Cushion) is an adjustable, air-filled, cellular-design, wheelchair support surface that
utilizes DRY FLOATATION®technology and is intended to conform to an individual’s
seated shape to provide skin/soft tissue protection and an environment to facilitate
wound healing. There is no weight limit, yet the cushion must be properly sized to the
individual. Cushion models include:
• ROHO®MID PROFILE™Single Compartment Cushion with Sensor Ready™Technology
(MID PROFILE Sensor Ready Cushion)
• ROHO®HIGH PROFILE®Single Compartment Cushion with Sensor Ready™Technology
(HIGH PROFILE Sensor Ready Cushion)
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.
The Sensor Ready Cushion is compatible with Smart Check®by ROHO®.
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.
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 the beginning of soft tissue
breakdown and may need to 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.
• The cushion 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 cushion 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.
• If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance.

Important Safety Information, Continued
Warnings
• DO NOT use your cushion 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 this cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a Life Preserver). It will
NOT support you in water.

product and will void the warranty.
• DO NOT allow your cushion to come in contact with oil-based lotions or lanolin. They
may degrade the material.
• Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushion, affect the
performance of the cushion, and void the product warranty.
• Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your cushion.
• Keep the cushion away from sharp objects.
• DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames, or hot ashes.
• If the cushion has been in temperatures lower than 32º F (0º C) and exhibits unusual
stiffness, allow the cushion to warm to room temperature.

and the Yellow Rope through the
openings.
- Close the zipper completely. Turn the
cushion over so the air cells face up.
- The front of the cushion (the inflation

face the zipper.
- Tuck the inflation valve, the quick
disconnect, and the Yellow Rope inside
the cover.
- Close the zipper completely. Turn the
