• PROPER INFLATION:
Refer to the Adjustment Instructions for proper inflation guidelines.
Proper inflation offers the maximum therapeutic benefit to the individual. Please note that
a product that has been properly adjusted for the specific individual may appear under-
inflated when unoccupied; this is because the individual’s body mass is no longer loading
the product. The use of any inflation device other than the supplied hand pump may
damage the product and void the warranty.
•
DO NOT use an under-inflated or over-inflated product. Doing so reduces or eliminates the
product’s benefits, increasing risk to the 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.
• The cushioning products featured in this operation manual are NOT recommended for use
with x-rays due to potential radiopacities, which may interfere with diagnoses or surgical
procedures that require radiographic images.
• Placing too many linens or other materials between the product and the individual will
reduce the product’s effectiveness.
• DO NOT use the product as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT
support you in water.

deflation.

expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
• If a product has been in temperatures less than 32°F / 0°C and exhibits unusual stiffness,
allow the product to warm to room temperature, then open air valve(s). Roll and unroll the
product until the material is soft and pliable again. Repeat adjustment instructions before
using.
• DO NOT
use any valve or air cell as a handle for carrying or pulling the product. Grasp
mattress overlay sections by the base or the outside edges.

use the product as a
transfer surface.
DO NOT
re-position the product while it is in use.

allow oil-based lotions or lanolin to come in contact with the product as they may
degrade the material.
