the inflation valve. Pinch the nozzle, turn to
open the inflation valve, and inflate the air cells.

ROHO cushion adjustment
After overinflating the ROHO cushion, perform
a hand check to adjust to the proper cushion
inflation setting:
1. The individual should sit in their usual
position in the chair. The cushion should be
centered beneath the individual.
2. Perform a hand check:
a. Slide your hand between the cushion and
the individual. Lift the leg slightly and feel
for the lowest bony prominence, and then
lower the leg to a sitting position.
