To Sterilize the Cushion:
Follow Cleaning and Disinfection guidelines. ROHO products are
not packaged in a sterile condition nor are they intended or required to be sterilized prior to
usage. High temperatures accelerate aging and may cause damage to the product assembly. If
institution protocol demands sterilization, open the valve and use the lowest temperature possible
for the shortest time possible. Gas sterilization is preferable to steam autoclave, but neither is
recommended. In any process using pressure, ensure all valves are open to prevent damage to the
product. ROHO, Inc. highly discourages sterilization methods using temperatures greater than 160°F
(71°C) for polyurethane products.
