ROHO MOSAIC Cushion Operation Manual
Intended Use
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 superficial or deep tissue injury and should 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.
-
DO NOT use the product on top of, or in conjunction with, any other products or materials, unless
otherwise indicated in this manual. Doing so may cause the individual to become unstable and
vulnerable to falling. If your cushion feels unstable, see
T
ROUBLESHOOTING
or consult with a clinician for
proper usage.
-
DO NOT place any obstructions (except for a ROHO-provided cushion cover) between the individual
and the cushion. Doing so will reduce product effectiveness.
-
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.
-
DO NOT use the cushion as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT support you in
water.
-
If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance by contacting your
clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or ROHO, Inc.
-
DO NOT expose the cushion to any source of high heat, including heating pads. Exposure to high heat
will accelerate aging and damage the product; the benefits provided by the cushion may be reduced or
eliminated, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue.
-
DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes. Testing or certification claims,
including for flammability, may no longer apply to this device when it is combined with other products
or materials. Check testing and certification claims for all products used in combination with this
device.
The ROHO
®
MOSAIC Cushion (MOSAIC) 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 315 lbs.
(143 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.
