ROHO Special Application Cushioning Devices Operation Manual
Recliner System
Intended Use: The ROHO
System) is an adjustable, air-filled, cellular-design,
support surface that utilizes DRY FLOATATION
and is intended to conform to an individual's seated
shape to provide localized skin/soft tissue protection and
an environment to facilitate wound healing. There is no
weight limit, yet the cushion must be properly sized to the
individual.
Instructions:
1. Place the Recliner System on the chair with the
air cells facing up and the non-skid surface of
the cover facing the chair seat and chair back.
When possible, use the hook or loop fasteners to further secure the cover to
the seating surface. On the back cushion, hook and loop fasteners are located
inside the cover and on the back of the cushion.
2. Slide the rubber nozzle of the hand pump over the inflation valve. Pinch
the nozzle and open the inflation valve. Inflate until the cushion begins
to arch slightly. Pinch the rubber nozzle of the hand pump and close
the inflation valve completely. Remove the hand pump. Repeat for all
inflation valves.
3. Confirm that the individual is in their usual position. Confirm correct
placement of the Recliner System.
4. Slide your hand between the each cushion and the individual and feel
for bony prominences. With your hand in place, open the inflation valve,
releasing air as prescribed. Close the inflation valve. Repeat for all inflation valves.
CHECK INFLATION! ROHO, Inc. recommends at least 1/2 in. (1.5 cm) of space
between the cushion base and the individual's bony prominences. Follow the
prescriber's recommended inflation levels.
Recliner Cushion Cover Removal: Unsnap and remove the covers from the cushions.
Recliner Cushion Cover Replacement:
1. The zipper on the Back Cushion cover should be closed. For Seat Cushion and Back
Cushion: The non-skid cover material should face up and the snapped opening of the cover
should face you. The air cells should face down: Insert each cushion into its cover, inflation
valve(s) first. Pull the inflation valve(s) and Yellow Rope through the corner opening(s). The
inflation valves will protrude at the front of the Seat Cushion and at the top of the Back
Cushion.
2. Place the two cushions with the snapped openings next to each other. Snap the Back
Cushion to the Seat Cushion. Snap the bottoms of the covers together. Turn the cushions
over so the air cells face up. Snap the tops of the covers together. The cushions should lie
flat inside the covers.
