COVERING YOUR PRODUCT:
While a cover is not required, a ROHO cover is included with every MOSAIC cushion to prevent
the cushion cells from protruding beyond the wheelchair seat and aid in slide board transfers.
Because the bottom of the cover is made of non-skid material, the cushion is more secure in the
chair.
To cover your cushion,
follow these simple instructions:
1. Unfold the cover with the non-skid material facing up and zipper facing you.
2. Insert your cushion into the cover with the air cells down.
3. UCFR - Gently pull the corner of your cushion through an opening at the corner of the cover
until it is exposed. Repeat this procedure until all four corners are exposed. (Be careful when
pulling the valve through the opening). IC - Gently insert your cushion into the cover, with the
valve towards the zipper.
4. Carefully close the zipper and turn the cushion over
so cells are facing up
. Your cushion is
now ready for use as long as it has been properly adjusted (see Adjustment Instructions in this
manual). If properly fitted, the cushion will lay flat on the chair (non-skid material on the bot-
tom) with cells covered and all four corners of the base of the cushion showing. (not applicable
for IC).
To remove the cover
, unzip and gently remove the cover from the cushion.
CLEANING/DISINFECTING YOUR PRODUCT:
Cleaning and disinfecting are two separate processes. Cleaning must precede disinfection.
CLEANING THE MOSAIC CUSHION
1. Remove cover and close the valve.
2. ROHO, Inc. recommends the use of dish washing soap, laundry detergent, or other multi-
purpose detergents for general cleaning.
3. Use a damp cloth, sponge, or soft plastic bristle brush to gently scrub all cushion
surfaces.
4. Rinse with fresh water.
5. Pat dry with towel or air dry.
DISINFECTING THE MOSAIC CUSHION
1. Cushion must be cleaned prior to disinfecting to remove any adhered soil.
2. Repeat cleaning instructions above using a disinfecting solution of 1/2 cup household
liquid bleach per 1 quart of warm water (125 ml bleach to 1 liter of warm water) instead of
detergent.
3. Allow disinfecting solution to remain on cushion surfaces for a minimum of 10 minutes.
4. Rinse and dry per cleaning instructions.
5. Most multipurpose disinfectants may be safely used in place of bleach/water solution if
used according to the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions.
