To disinfect the DRY FLOATATION Cushion Insert, use a germicidal product
that meets infection control needs. ROHO suggests a disinfectant with
tuberculocidal properties. Follow the manufacturer's dilution directions. For
home disinfection, use solutions of 1/2 cup liquid household bleach per quart
of water (125 ml bleach to 1 liter of water). Keep the clean cushion wet with
bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and dry.
Note: Disinfectants are not effective on porous surfaces such as foam. If the
cushion becomes soiled or contaminated. DO NOT use with multiple users.
Do not sterilize the foam base or cover. For the DRY FLOATATION Cushion
Insert, ROHO does not recommend sterilization methods using temperatures
greater than 200o F/93o C. High temperatures accelerate aging and may
cause damage to the cushion. Air valves should be opened before exposing
the DRY FLOATATION Cushion Insert to elevated temperatures.
DO NOT USE OIL-BASED LOTIONS OR LANOLIN ON YOUR CUSHION AS THEY MAY
COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE RUBBER.
Cleaning and Disinfecting Your NEXUS SPIRIT Cushion

precede disinfection.

in the foam base, taking care to gently pull the valve through the foam.

air cells and the spaces between them with a soft plastic bristle brush,
sponge, or washcloth. ROHO suggests using a liquid dishwashing or laundry
detergent or other
general-purpose cleaning product. For institutional cleaning, a general
housekeeping disinfectant cleaner may be used.
To clean the foam base, wipe gently with a cloth dampened with water and /
or a household cleaning disinfectant. Allow foam to dry thoroughly. Do not
immerse the foam in water. A fluid-resistant, anti-microbial cover is included
with the product to protect the foam.
To clean the cover. May be machine washed in cold water. No bleach. Air
