ROHO MINI-MAX, PACK-IT, Recliner System Operation Manual
Important Safety Information, continued
Warnings:
- 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.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature. Take appropriate
precautions, especially when the cushion will contact unprotected skin.
- DO NOT use the cushioning device as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life
Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.
- Use caution when skin will contact the seating surface. Tissue damage may result
from increased friction.
- DO NOT use an under-inflated cushioning device or an over-inflated cushioning
device because the product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an
increased risk to skin and other soft tissue. If the cushioning device does not appear
to be holding air, or if you are not able to inflate or deflate the cushioning device, see
"Troubleshooting". Immediately contact the clinical caregiver, distributor, or Customer
Support if the problem persists.
- Use caution when handling the cushioning device: Metal grommets on the corners
may be a finger trap hazard.
- Periodically, check the cover and components for damage, and replace if necessary.
- 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.
Cautions:
- Keep the cushioning device away from sharp objects.
- DO NOT allow the cushioning device to come into contact with oil-based lotions or
lanolin. They may degrade the material.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to a DRY FLOATATION cushioning
device.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushioning device,
affect the performance of the product, and void the product warranty.
- Do not use an inflation valve as a handle for carrying or pulling the product. Carry the
product by the cushion base or by the carrying handle on the cover. Use of any other
components to carry or pull the cushion may damage the product.
- If a DRY FLOATATION cushioning device has been in temperatures lower than 32°F
(0°C), and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow the cushioning device to warm to room
temperature.
- Do not use a pump, cover or repair kit other than those compatible with the product.
