Intended Use; Important Safety Information - Permobil ROHO MOSAIC Cushion Operation Manual

Intended Use

The ROHO MOSAIC Cushion (MOSAIC) is an adjustable, air-filled, segmented-design wheelchair support surface
®
and is intended to conform to an individual's seated shape to provide skin/soft tissue protection. There is a weight
limit of 315 lbs. (143 kg), and the cushion must be properly sized to the individual.
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.
- DO NOT use the product on top of, or in conjunction with, any other products or materials, unless otherwise
indicated in this manual. Doing so may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to falling. If
your cushion feels unstable, see "Troubleshooting" or consult with a clinician for proper usage.
- DO NOT place any obstructions between the individual and the cushion. USE ONLY a compatible cover with
the cushion; placing any other item directly under the individual, whether inside or outside the cover, will
make the cushion less effective.
- The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used as directed in this manual. IF THEY
ARE NOT: 1) The benefits provided by the cushion 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 as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.
- If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance by contacting your
clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature. Take appropriate precautions,
especially when the cushion will contact unprotected skin.
- DO NOT expose the cushion to any source of high heat, including heating pads. Exposure to high heat
will accelerate aging and damage the product; the benefits provided by the cushion may be reduced or
eliminated, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue.
- DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes. Testing or certification claims, including
for flammability, may no longer apply to this device when it is combined with other products or materials.
Check testing and certification claims for all products used in combination with this device.
