CAUTIONS

• CHECK INFLATION AT LEAST ONCE A DAY!

• PROPER INFLATION: The use of any other inflation device other than the supplied hand pump may damage

the cushion and void the warranty.

• UNDER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an under-inflated cushion. Doing so reduces or eliminates the cushion’s

benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue. If your cushion appears under-inflated or does

not appear to be holding air, check to make sure that all valve(s) are closed by turning the inflation valve(s)

clockwise. NOTE: For SELECT Cushions, check that the green knob of the ISOFLO Memory Control is pushed

toward the center of the ISOFLO in the UNLOCKED position so that all chambers will inflate during the inflation

process. If your cushion is still not holding air, contact your clinical caregiver, distributor, or ROHO, Inc.

immediately.

• OVER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an over-inflated cushion. Doing so will not allow you to sink into the cushion

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 air cells facing up. 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.

• WEIGHT LIMIT: The cushion should be correctly sized to the user. No weight limit on ROHO DRY FLOATATION

products if the product has been correctly sized to the user.

• PRESSURE: Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your cushion. Check your cushion when changing

altitude.

• PUNCTURE: Keep your cushion away from sharp objects, which may puncture the air cells and cause it to

deflate.

• HEAT/FLAME: DO NOT expose your cushion to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.

• CLIMATE: If a cushion has been in temperatures less than 32°F / 0°C and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow

the cushion to warm to room temperature, then open corner air valve. Roll up the cushion and then unroll it

until the neoprene is soft and pliable again. Repeat proper adjustment instructions before using.

• INSTABILITY AND FALL HAZARD: DO NOT use your cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other

products or materials, except as indicated in Intended Use section. Doing so may add to user instability

resulting in falls. Consult with your clinician for proper usage.

• OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions between the user and the cushion, as it will reduce product

effectiveness.

• HANDLING: DO NOT use any valve as a handle for carrying or pulling your cushion. Carry your cushion either

by the yellow nylon carrying rope (where appropriate), the cushion's base, or the cover’s carrying handle.

• SOLUTIONS: DO NOT allow oil-based lotions or lanolin to come in contact with your cushion, as they may

degrade the material.

• OZONE GENERATORS: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Health Canada, and other government

agencies have issued warnings regarding the use of ozone generators. Prolonged exposure to ozone will

degrade rubber, fabrics, and other materials used in the manufacture of your ROHO product and may affect

the performance of your product and void the product warranty.

• PRODUCT USE: DO NOT use your cushion as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver).

• DO NOT use a pump, cover, or repair kit other than those provided by ROHO, Inc. Doing so may void your

product's warranty.
