    • OVER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an over-inflated cushion insert. Doing so will not allow user to sink into the cushion insert and will reduce or eliminate the cushion’s benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue. • CUSHION AND COVER ORIENTATION: Product must be used with the provided cover, air cells facing up, contoured foam area in the front portion of the chair and the cushion insert in the back portion of the chair. If the cover is not used correctly or if the cover is the wrong size, it may reduce or eliminate the cushion’s benefits and could increase risk to the skin and other soft tissue. • PRODUCT USE: DO NOT use the ROHO Hybrid ELITE Cushion in conjunction with any other seat cushioning products except as indicated in Intended Use section. DO NOT use the components of the ROHO Hybrid ELITE Cushion separately. DO NOT use the components of the ROHO Hybrid ELITE in conjunction with any other seat cushioning products. • DO NOT use cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a life preserver). • DO NOT use any pump, cover or repair kit other than those provided by ROHO, Inc. Doing so may damage the cushion insert and void product’s warranty. • OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions between the user and the cushion or the cushion insert and the contoured foam. Doing so will reduce product effectiveness.

  • Page 8: Troubleshooting

    To Disinfect the Cushion Insert: Repeat cleaning instructions using a germicidal that meets infection control needs (ROHO, Inc. suggests a disinfectant with tuberculocidal properties). A solution of 1/2 cup liquid household bleach per quart of warm water (125 ml bleach to 1 liter of warm water) can also be used. Keep the clean cushion insert wet with bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse and dry per cleaning instructions. NOTE: Most germicidal disinfectants are safe for use with the cushion insert if used following the disinfectant manufacturer’s dilution directions. To Sterilize the Cushion Insert: ROHO, Inc. highly discourages sterilization methods using temperatures greater than 200°F / 93°C. High temperatures accelerate aging and may cause damage to the cushion insert. If institution protocol demands sterilization, open the valves and use the lowest temperature possible for the shortest time possible. Gas sterilization is preferable to steam autoclave, but neither is recommended. If steam autoclaving, make sure all valves are open. NOTE: DO NOT use oil-based lotions, lanolin, or phenolic-based disinfectants on cushion insert. Doing so may compromise the integrity of the neoprene. To Clean the Contoured Foam Base Surface: Wipe lightly with a damp cloth. DO NOT use soap. DO NOT submerge in water. Wipe off with a clean cloth. Let completely air dry before reassembly. NOTE: Disinfectants are not effective on porous surfaces such as foam. If the foam becomes soiled or contaminated, DO NOT use with multiple users. Replacement foam parts may be purchased. Replace with ROHO foam parts only.
