Adjusting The Overlay; Adjustment Instructions - ROHO PRODIGY Operation Manual

Adjusting the Overlay

Warnings:
- DO NOT use a product that is underinflated or overinflated, because 1) the product benefits will be reduced or eliminated,
resulting in an increased risk to skin and other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
Carefully follow the instructions for inflation and adjustment.
- All sections of the product MUST be aligned and snapped together before the individual transfers onto the product. If the
sections are not snapped together, the individual could be exposed to areas that do not provide sufficient skin/soft tissue
protection.
- All sections of the product, including any bariatric (side) sections, MUST be inflated and adjusted to ensure proper immersion
and to provide skin/soft tissue protection to the individual, including their areas of risk (for example, head, shoulder blades,
tailbone, hip bones, heels).
- Check inflation and adjustment the first time and every time the individual transfers onto the product.
A Hand Check MUST be performed EVERY TIME the individual transfers onto the product. If the individual transfers off and
then back onto the product, a Hand Check MUST be performed to ensure the product is correctly adjusted and will continue to
provide protection.
- Check inflation and adjustment frequently, at least once a day.

Adjustment Instructions:

1) Before you adjust the overlay, make sure the overlay is properly
inflated, positioned, and covered:
a) Follow the instructions in this manual to inflate all overlay
sections, including any bariatric sections.
b) Make sure that the overlay and bed mattress are in a flat
position.
c) Make sure that all sections are aligned and snapped
together and that the overlay is covered.
2) The individual should transfer onto the overlay. The individual
should be in their usual position (lying on their back, their
side, or other usual position).
3) Adjust for proper immersion of each overlay section. Use the
Hand Check Method:
a) Position your hand between the overlay and the individual
and feel for the lowest bony prominence.
b) Keeping your hand in place, open the inflation valve,
and remove air until you can barely move your fingertips.
Refer to the "Distance from Base" table on this page to
determine the recommended distance between the lowest
bony prominence and the base of the product.
c) Close the inflation valve.
4) If you are using the Overlay Enclosure Cover, zip the cover
closed.
