ROHO DRY FLOATATION Wheelchair Cushions Operation Manual
Cushion and Cover Care, continued
Machine Wash and Disinfect the Cushion
Warnings:
- Inflation valve(s) MUST be closed to make sure that water does not enter the product during cleaning or
disinfecting.
- Machine washing can cause wear and damage, including cuts and tears to the cushion and the
detachment of required product information. Washing and disinfecting the cushion by hand and air
drying is strongly recommended.
- High water temperature may cause cushion discoloration and label detachment.
- DO NOT expose cushions to temperatures above 70°C (158°F), which may damage cushion components.
- For machine washing or disinfecting, make sure the washing machine capacity is sufficient. A washing
machine that isn't large enough may not remove all soil or contaminants from a cushion.
- Using a damaged cushion will reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion and increase risk to skin
and other soft tissue.
Prepare the Cushion for Machine Cleaning:
1) Remove the cover and close the inflation valve(s). Examine the cushion for damage, and patch any holes
(refer to Repair Kit instructions provided with the product).
2) Remove stains or odors as needed: Place the cushion in warm water and a disinfectant cleaning agent.
Gently scrub, using a soft plastic bristle brush, and rinse with clean water.
3) Deflate the cushion: Open the inflation valve and roll up the cushion, starting at the corner opposite the
valve. After you have removed as much air as possible, close the inflation valve.
4) Inspect for any sharp edges in the washing machine that may damage the cushion.
Machine Wash the Cushion:
1) Place the cushion in a laundry bag and then into the washing machine. When folding the cushion,
make sure the air cells face outward.
2) Use warm water (85º - 105ºF / 30º - 40ºC) and laundry detergent or machine- and cushion-safe
cleaner/biocide, placed in the detergent dispenser.
3) Gentle cycle: Use a machine setting that does not include a high-speed spin cycle.
Caution: Rinse thoroughly. Detergent residue may cause air cells to stick together.
Machine Disinfect the Cushion:
Follow the machine washing instructions and use hot water 60°C (140°F). Use biocide (refer
to the manufacturer instructions). Bleach with care: Only use a dilution of 1 part household
liquid bleach per 9 parts water. Rinse with clean water.
Remove the cushion from the laundry bag and air dry. For faster drying, use a hand-held hair
dryer, hold no closer than 6 in. (15 cm) from the cushion, and use a sweeping motion.
Warning: Overheating the neoprene rubber can cause permanent product damage.
