ROHO DRY FLOATATION Mattress Overlay Manual page 4

ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED:
NOTE: Do not lie on an improperly inflated support surface.
The support surface is most effective when there is air
between all parts of the user and the base. Refer to the
Suggested Immersion Depths table for areas of high risk.
Under-inflation and over-inflation reduce or eliminate the
support surface benefits and could increase risk to the skin
and other soft tissue. The support surface is most effective
when the suggested immersion depths are followed.
NOTE: Insert Pads or Leveling Pads may be used in replacement of ROHO DRY FLOATATION Mattress Overlay sections
ONLY. DO NOT use as replacements solutions where user is at risk of tissue breakdown. Replace the pad(s) with
ROHO DRY FLOATATION Mattress Overlay section at first indication of tissue trauma. Ensure pad(s) and sections(s)
are properly snapped together before use.
LINENS
Too many linens between the support surface and the individual will compromise performance, prevent the indi-
vidual from sinking in, and reduce pressure distribution. It is recommended that a maximum of:
• One flat or contoured sheet be arranged loosely over the support surface.
• If needed, a draw sheet for individual moving and transferring can be used.
• If needed, one incontinent pad can be used. Waterproof Reusable Covers are available from ROHO, Inc.
PILLOW POSITIONING
Special Positioning: If the individual has special positioning needs while lying on his/her side or
back, a pillow can be placed beneath the support surface. Consult with your healthcare provider
for proper pillow positioning.
CPR
Suggested Immersion Depths:
Depth
1/2" (1.5 cm)
(2.5 cm)
1" (2.5 cm) to 1.5"
(4 cm)
CPR: (DRY FLOATATION Mattress Overlay and O.R.
Pad) CPR can be administered with or without
a cardiac board between the individual and a
ROHO support surface. It is not necessary to
deflate the support surface to achieve sufficient
compression levels. ROHO, Inc. recommends the
use of a cardiac board for the PRODIGY Mattress
Overlay.
