• 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. If any discoloration does
NOT
disappear within 30 minutes of discovery,
consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
•
DO NOT
use an under-inflated or an over-inflated product because the product benefits
will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to 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.
•
DO NOT
use the product on top of, or in conjunction with, any other products or

If your cushion feels unstable, see TROUBLESHOOTING 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. Consult with
your clinician for proper usage.
• The cushion and the cover MUST be correctly oriented and sized. If they are
NOT
, the
benefits provided by the cushion may be reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk to
the skin or other soft tissue. See TROUBLESHOOTING or consult with a clinician.
•
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.

•
DO NOT
expose the cushion to high heat, open flames, or hot ashes.

See TROUBLESHOOTING.
•
DO NOT
use the inflation valve as a handle for carrying or for pulling the cushion.
• Using a pump, cover, or repair kit, other than those provided by ROHO, Inc., may void the
product warranty.
