Intended Use
The ROHO ® AirLITE ® Cushion (AirLITE) is a wheelchair support surface with a non-
adjustable, air-filled, segmented-design ROHO AIR FLOTATION insert encased in
contoured foam. The AirLITE is intended to conform to an individual’s seated shape to
provide positioning. There is a weight limit of 300 lbs. (136 kg), and the cushion must
be properly sized to the individual. The AirLITE must be used with the supplied cover.
ROHO, Inc. recommends evaluation by a clinician who is experienced in seating,
positioning and mobility: 1) to determine whether the cushion is appropriate for the
individual; and 2) to determine whether a solid seat platform is recommended if using
the cushion on a sling-seat wheelchair.
ROHO medical products are intended to be part of an overall care regimen. ROHO,
Inc. recommends that a clinician make product recommendations based upon an
evaluation of the individual’s medical and therapeutic needs and overall condition.
Important Safety Information
Warnings
• DO NOT use if the individual has an existing pressure ulcer. Skin/soft tissue
breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual. Check
skin frequently, at least once a day. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when
compared to normal skin) may indicate the beginning of soft tissue breakdown.
Consult with a clinician immediately.
• The cushioning device and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used
as directed in this manual. IF THEY ARE NOT, the benefits provided by the cushion
may be reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk to skin or other soft tissue and
increasing the risk of falling.
• DO NOT use this cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a Life Preserver). It will
NOT support you in water.
Cautions:
• DO NOT expose cushion to high heat, open flames, or hot ashes.
• Prolonged exposure to ozone will degrade materials used in the AirLITE cushion and
may affect the performance of your product and invalidate the product warranty.
