Customer Support; Intended Use; Important Safety Information - Permobil ROHO Hybrid Select Operation Manual

Intended Use Statement
The ROHO Hybrid Select Cushion (Hybrid Select) is an adjustable, air-filled, wheelchair support surface combining a ROHO DRY FLOATATION cellular
design cushion insert with a contoured foam base, and is intended to conform to an individual's seated shape in the pelvic loading area to provide skin/soft
tissue protection, positioning, and an environment to facilitate wound healing. Optionally, through removal of the IT Air Pad insert, the Hybrid Select is also
intended for offloading of the ITs. There is a weight limit of 500 lbs. (227 kg), and the cushion must be properly sized to the individual. The Hybrid Select must
be used with the supplied cover.
A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should determine whether the product is appropriate for the individual's particular seating needs.
The product's intended use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all seating and mobility equipment
and therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual's
physical needs and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the need for other assistive
technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.

Important Safety Information

Warnings:
- Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which
vary by individual. Check skin frequently, at least once a day. Redness,
bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin) may indicate
superficial or deep tissue injury and should be addressed. If there is any
discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the discoloration
does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse, immediately consult a
healthcare professional.
- Check inflation frequently, at least once a day.
- 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 all "Setup" instructions. If the
product does not appear to be holding air, or if you are not able to inflate
or deflate the product, see "Troubleshooting". Immediately contact your
equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support if the problem persists.
- DO NOT use the components of this product separately. Assemble and use
this product only as instructed in this manual.
- The cushions, foam and cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST
be used as directed in this manual. IF THEY ARE NOT: 1) The benefits
provided by the product may be reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk
to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may become unstable
and vulnerable to falling.
- DO NOT use the cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other
products or materials, except as indicated in this manual. Using non-
compatible products or materials, whether inside or outside the cover: 1)
may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion, increasing the risk
to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to become
unstable and vulnerable to falling.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion. The
cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used as
directed in this manual. Except for the compatible cover provided with this
product, placement of any items between the individual and the cushion:
1) may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion, increasing the risk
to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to become
unstable and vulnerable to falling.

damage to the product and will void the warranty.
- DO NOT allow the air cells to come into contact with oil-based lotions or
lanolin, which may degrade the material.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushion,
affect the performance of the cushion, and void the product warranty.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to the cushion.
- Keep the cushion away from sharp objects.
- Air cells that have been in temperatures lower than 32° F (0° C) may
exhibit unusual stiffness and should be warmed to room temperature.

cover. Use of any other components to carry or pull the cushion may
damage the product.
