CAUTIONS
• Prior to use, consult with a clinician and / or healthcare provider to ensure the product
is appropriate for the end-user's specific needs. It is important that the product be set up
by knowledgeable caregivers properly trained in the use of this product.
• CHECK EACH MATTRESS OVERLAY SECTION AND ACCESSORY AT LEAST ONCE A DAY to make
sure it is properly inflated, adjusted, and if applicable snapped together.
• PROPER INFLATION: Refer to Adjustment Instructions for proper inflation guidelines. Proper
inflation offers the maximum therapeutic benefit to the individual. Please note that after
the product has been properly adjusted for the specific individual, when the product is
unoccupied, it may appear under-inflated because the individual's body mass is no longer
loading the product. The use of any other inflation device other than the supplied hand
pump may damage the product and void the warranty.
• UNDER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an under-inflated product. Under-inflation occurs when there
is less than the suggested distance from the lowest bony prominence to the base of the
product. See Adjustment Instructions for inflation guidelines. Using a product that is
under-inflated reduces or eliminates the product's therapeutic benefit, which may increase
risk to skin and other soft tissue.
• NOT HOLDING AIR: If product is not holding air, refer to Troubleshooting Section. Afterwards,
if product is still not holding air, stop using immediately and contact your health care
provider, distributor, supplier or ROHO, Inc. When the product is not holding air, it reduces
the product's therapeutic benefit, which may increase the risk to skin and other soft tissue.
• OVER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an over-inflated product. Over-inflation occurs when there is
greater than the suggested distance between the lowest bony prominence and the base
of the product. See Adjustment Instructions for inflation guidelines. Over-inflation of the
product increases the likelihood that an individual may roll off and reduces the product's
therapeutic benefit, which may increase the risk to skin and other soft tissue.
• WEIGHT LIMIT: The mattress overlay should be correctly sized to end-user and the bed
mattress. SOFFLEX 2 has a weight limit of 330 lbs. (150 kg). PRODIGY has a weight limit
of 300 lbs. (136 kg). No weight limit for other products in this manual if they have been
correctly sized to the end-user.
• PRESSURE: Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your product.
• PUNCTURE: Keep the product away from sharp objects, which may puncture the air cells
and cause deflation.
• HEAT/FLAME: DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
• CLIMATE: If a product has been in temperatures less than 32°F / 0°C and exhibits unusual
stiffness, allow the product to warm to room temperature, then open air valve(s). Roll
and unroll the product until the material is soft and pliable again. Repeat adjustment
instructions before using.
• HANDLING: DO NOT use any valve or air cell as a handle for carrying or pulling the product.
Grasp mattress overlay sections by the base or the outside edges. DO NOT use product as a
transfer surface. DO NOT reposition product while it is in use.
• OBSTRUCTIONS: Placing too many linens or other materials between the product and the
end-user will reduce the product's effectiveness.
